Yes, this was the ignorant yet well meaning comment I heard from a woman at my old church today ( So help me ought to stop going in there )

This woman saw me in hospital, emaciated.

At church she would practically force feed me.

I know it was a comment made out of love for me, but all I felt hearing this ( while of course, I smiled at her...) was," Wow you're f*t now!"

I wanted to cry.

Don't people realise NOBODY has the right to comment on ANYONE'S body??

Despite this, after missing breakfast and lunch, just had basically what was a snack, I feel...I feel tremendous guilt and shame right now.

I want to go where not a soul knows me.

Start over.

But anorexia will follow me everywhere, no matter if I am a healthy weight.

My head is tormenting me right now of course.

I am ashamed I go out and can't help but to compare myself to orher people.

I don't think my mind will ever catch up to my putting food into my body.

I will never be free.

I wish people would stop commenting on my body!!!!

I am so sorry that you have had to put up with people like this. I don't have an eating disorder myself but I am sure that my daughter does (not been diagnosed) as she refuses the help.

Thank you.

I am so sorry you suspect that your daughter has an ED...

Have you checked out the NEDA site?

A wealth of information and support for family and friends of those suffering from an eating disorder.

I truly am sorry.

My anorexia was hard on my mum.

But her worry manifested as rage at me...

I know that isn't the case of yourself.

I pray your daughter will get help.

She will not admit she has a problem. she is forever dieting when she is fine, I am just looking at the NEDA site now. I have bookmarked it and will look properly a bit later.

You must be so afraid for her.

Indeed have a look at the NEDA website.
