There’s a lot of people who just cant get their heads around eating disorder, or even mental health as a whole for that mater. And that’s fine. But if that’s you, maybe, just maybe, you should keep your opinions hush hush….. we know you think you’re helping but you’re actually quite triggering.
1. (Said while eating a meal) “It’s such a relief to see you eating again…. (pause)… You look so healthy.”
*Clammers Fork onto Plate*….…Never eats again.
2. “Was it the media? IT WAS THE MEDIA. Don’t believe the media – they’re airbrushed you know?! Those models aren’t even real.”
… Yes thank you, we too know about FaceTune.
3. (Forced smile) “I’d really appreciate if you’d finish {insert food}.”
4. “Oh God, I’m so glad we’re past the eating disorder phase. You were so difficult then.”
5. “It’s so selfish of you to do this. I don’t understand why you’re doing it.”
6. “I like you with some meat on your bones, when you got a little junk in your trunk.”.
And last but not least:
7. “OMG, I couldn’t even tell you had an eating disorder.”
