I love my mom but she irritates me and I'm starting to become worried about her. She doesn't think she has an ED but she barely eats and is afraid to eat anything "fattening". The other day she told me she had a grahm cracker for breakfast and half of a cheese sandwich for lunch. We were having my daughter's birthday party that day and she had a very small piece of cake and like maybe a half a scoop of lite ice cream. Then she went on to tell me she was fixing a "light" supper. What irritates me the most is she knows I'm recovering from my ED and it's like she's rubbing it in my face about how little she eats. It really doesn't effect me anymore, I feel sorry for her more than anything now and proud of myself for not being like her but it's just the fact that she still does it. It's almost like she's proud of how little she eats. I've tried to talk to her about it but I think she's in complete denial of having a problem. She still thinks she's fat and she's very thin. She used to be overweight and lost 50-60 pounds on WW about 3 years ago. She's petrified of gaining weight and I can tell she's scared of eating. I just feel like there really isn't much I can do for her if she doesn't recognize her problem herself. Besides right now I'm trying to get over this myself and worrying about her eating habits isn't going to help me any. Ugh!!! I just wish she would realize what she's doing to herself and realize she needs help! Thanks for listening...I just needed to vent and get this off my chest. Is anyone else's mom like this?
