No logic in hurtful comments about weight and food intake.

Those who wants to be mean are mean. They can tell a skinny person who think she or he is fat she or he is fat. It just happened to my thin son. The boy saying it intuitively understood his fears, probably, and said it to push him away from his friend he wanted to be with alone. Jelousy!

People throwing out comments like : "fat!" or "big ass" are just mean. You can ask them back: how does it feel to be that socially and emotionally intelligent?

Parents and close friends may give you comments that are suppose to be helpful, but aren't because they are ignorant. Usual comments are: if you eat that type of food or that amount you will get fat, or: you have gained enough now. None of those comments are true. Type of food and amounts do not decide if you will get fat or not. The body has hormones that regulates that. You eat food the body needs. That is food and sweets that are easy to digest in the beginning of recovery. And the amounts your body needs to recover are huge untill the healing is done and the weight has returned to set point. After that you can trust your hunger cues and eat what the body needs. It's very irritating when people think you have to continue controlling the body ( the intake of food) when you have just realized that you don't have to or shouldn't.
