Things To Stop Saying To People With An Eating Disorder

Annoying things people say about eating disorders that they really just shouldn't.

1."You look so healthy right now"

Yeah....my mom says the same thing. Doesn't mean I believe it

2."So wait, is it the disorder of too many cheeseburgers or not enough cheeseburgers?"

Ummmmmm yeahhhhh....Imma hit you.

3. You don't LOOK like you have an eating disorder

Well...I mean.....the beauty of recovery I guess?

4. "Wow. I could NEVER have an eating disorder! I like food way too much"

Yikes.....guess you could never have a brain either.

5. "Just eat!"

Sure! Then I can tell you to just go and face your world's biggest fear!

6. "You have an eating disorder? You must eat so healthy!"

If you call a handful of berries a day healthy, then sure. Let's call it that.

7. "I have been trying this diet for so long (proceeds to discuss food and calories)"

Just because I have lived fixated on calories and food, does not mean that I want to discuss your eating habits!

8."You must know so much about food and nutrition!"

Yeahhhhhhh I don't think you're getting the concept of eating DISORDER.

9. "Well you're eating pretty normally now"

SHHHH! STOP TALKING ABOUT MY FOOD INTAKE, THAT DEFEATS THE WHOLE RECOVERY THING!!!

10. And finally, "I mean, it's not a REAL illness"

Bitch, if only you knew!
