    So this week I am on a family vacation which means eating with my parents all the time. I try to order healthier meals at restaurants or eat less but still it is almost impossible . How do you guys manage to lose weight on trips?

    Title. Has anyone else been force fed food by parents, friends, colleagues, etc.?

    What does your family look like, weight-wise? my entire family is morbidly obese, except me. I’m terrified I’ll end up like them if i recover.
  9. Starting at a higher BMI
    My family is celebrating Christmas on Monday, and my mom is insisting she bring pizza to my house and that I eat it. She’s been making comments about noticing me not eating and making it into a competition between us. How can I get around eating the pizza? My husband will also be there and he’s...

    So my family know all about my ED (i was an inpatient earlier in the year, had picked up on behaviours way before that blah blah) and i’m terrified of affecting the way they view food, especially my sibling. I get anxious over food groups in front of them, and then worry about passing those...
