need a hug

Posted by Emily Elizabeth on July 18, 2006, at 8:27:40

I just went to visit my mom and (as usual) it triggered my body image and weight issues. My mom told me to go on a diet or "eat healthy" probably 10 times (in 4 days). I maybe have gained a little weight due to the million AD's that I take in addition to some anxious eating, but her behavior seemed so excessive. Why doesn't she listen to me when I tell her to stop saying that sort of thing? I'm in my late 20's, I think that I can decide how much I should weigh.
My T has even said that considering my mom's behavior, I'm lucky that I don't have a full-blown ED.
I tried on like 5 outfits this morning b/c I felt ugly in everything. :( How do I make myself feel okay(ish) again?
Best,
EE
