Not sure if I'm being over sensitive but I feel hurt and it's given me a bit of a complex!
At a family dinner and she makes comments about what a big eater I am and how I eat as much as the men do. This isn't the first time it's been said.
For context I'm petite, normal weight, and don't feel as though I under or over eat. But I have struggled with disordered eating in the past. I'm in a good place now so I tend to eat slower which perhaps makes it appear as though I've eaten more than I have. She is on a very restrictive calorie cutting fad diet over the past few months and barely eats - it's mostly alcohol and crisps. I tend to skip that in favour of more filling choices but have never criticised her choices.
Now I'm sat here second guessing my portions and wondering if I should cut back and here comes that restrictive mindset again. Feels like her boys can do no wrong but there is always something to nitpick when it comes to me.
Dreading going there for Christmas now and already worrying if I'll be seen as eating too much 😔
