It makes me really sad because I used to have an ED (eating disorder) and she never knew but when I started running as a sport I obviously ate a lot more and learned i need to take care of myself and then my ED disappeared completely with any negative thoughts of food or weight.
But then one day after a few months of training, my mom tells me i'm eating way too much and to stop eating too much and she looks at my face and says "Hmm maybe you're putting on weight in your face already" and at first I didnt think much of it. But the comment lingered on me and often when I would snack at night after practice (I used to NEVER eat after 6pm) she told me to stop because I'll gain weight and get even slower at running (she tells me I suck at running, very negative of her to tell her child that)
And now i'm back to looking at myself in the mirror and feeling digusted. Before I was so proud of how my body was strong and able to workout and run but now Im back to how I was when I had an ED, hating how I look, thinking im so pudgy and fat. I wish my mom would just support and love me and understand

Don't feel ashamed of your body, it's your mother who should be ashamed of herself for putting her own insecurities about her weight onto you.
You're good at running. You're not fat. Your body is strong you've made it that way. And you're taking good care of your body for exercising and snacking. Your body needs the fuel. Ignore her words they are meaningless
ReplyThank you for meaningful kind advice it really makes me smile to see others understand and care!
ReplyParents just can’t understand the hunger you get from physical activity I went from 220-250 playing football and my parents said the same thing but, in all truth as long as you can live your life and go through the day without weight getting in the way her words mean nothing to you.
ReplyYes! I have gained like 10 lbs but I was slightly underweight before and I'm so glad you have reached out to tell me it's normal. Thank you for the encouraging advice.
