so a bit of background here, i am a teen who still lives with her mom, and i have just recovered from an eating disorder. and so to celebrate my recovery we ate lots of food.
well that's how it's always been. whenever we had problems we would always eat food as an escape and to fill that emptiness. but it has been a bad habit since we were just constantly eating, and i mean constantly, i mean every hour we would eat.
and like most of us, we were taught as kids not to waste food. so that means eating everything at your plate till its clean.
it has caused me to become overweight since i was a kid and caused me serious self esteem issues. then eventually developing an eating disorder for about 3 years.
i just recovered september of this year. my relationship with food is currently pretty crap since i still have that "finish everything in your plate" mentality and i am working on it.
so the problem is, my mom being the absolute food lover that she is, would be upset with me if i wouldn't go out with her to eat because i'm not hungry at that time or if i didn't finish my food cuz i'm satisfied. i think it's because she thinks i'm returning to my old ed habits whenever i do that. which i am not obviously, i'm learning to listen to my body's cues again.
so as to not make her upset i would go out to eat with her everytime and finish everything in my plate. and as a result i have gained a lot of weight, i am about 2 kilograms of being overweight. i really don't enjoy it since i like to walk and jog without the excess weight and stretching ain't really comfortable being like this.
i would really appreciate any tips and suggestions from you guys !! hope y'all stay safe and happy losing !!
