OK well Today was awesome! It is almost night, I hae followed my meal plan and I had no bp thoughts. The only thing though is that I got stressed because I went to the outdoor mall with a friend who did not undestand anything about ED at all. I didn't tell her wither, because we are new friends and this is personal.

Anyways, she made so many comments about how skinny I was. When we went into a clothing store she kept saying, get the XS, oh you are a size zero. Also she always tried to get me to eat. She offered me cookies at her house. (I told her I was stuffed and she boxed them and I gave them to my husband) She offered me half her sandwich and more cookies. AGH!!! I declined but felt really bad about it. I did eat today, just not with her because I am trying to follow my meal plan. Anyways this is my rant. It really upset me!!

Good for you for sticking to your meal plan. That's what matters. Perhaps your friendship with this lady will get to the point where you can talk to her and help her understand some of your food issues. I'd be upset too if that happened to me. I know it's stressful, but you made it through. Focus on that. You did it. It's dang hard and you did it. Grats! Hug!

Awesome job sticking to your meal plan! Wicked great job there!

People who don't have ED's don't understand/know - just remember, her intentions where job and well intended.

I am glad you got through the day but I hope you had a good day despite the overwhelming aspects of it.

What a nightmare!Sorry you had to go through that. I've noticed that with me after something like that, I used to keep all of my frustration in and let it build up so much and then have to put on a fake personality to keep lieing that nothing bothered me. And then I would have a giant mental break down and felt like I was going crazy. But now I make myself be more open with people if something bothered me and I feel sooo much better. I just hope this little event doesn't snowball and that you can let it out somehow that you are upset.
