Birthday Lunch with Grandma - August 1st 2011, 02:37 PM

This thread has been labeled as triggering, particularly on the subject of eating disorders, by the original poster or by a Moderator. The contents of this thread might therefore not be suitable for certain sensitive users. Please take this into consideration before continuing to read.

Well basically I'm turning 15 in 3 days and my grandmother has decided to take me out to lunch. How nice, right? Well not exactly, I am not good with eating in front of people still especially her because as some of you may know my ED started when I was 8 and it's because my grandma would always tell me how fat I was and I believed her even though looking back on it I was not fat at all. She is still always on me about weight and she has no clue how hard I've struggled because of her words and even if I told her she would say something along the lines of, "Well obviously even that didn't work because you're still fat," Yeah so I'm not only going to a restaurant which is hard but it's with my grandma. Last night we had supper with her and I could hardly eat anything. 1 roll and 1 leaf of lettuce with some crab salad on it and I still felt like I ate too much... My point is I have no clue how to get through it when I should be having one of the best days ever because it's my birthday. I just don't know if I can get past the fact of it. And I know what it's like with me going out to eat with her because after 8th grade promotion a year or so ago, she took me to a fancy-ish place and I hardly ate anything, like not even 1/3 of it. I just cannot eat in front of her and I can barely survive eating out, but I can't tell her it's because I have an eating disorder let alone that she started it or at least had a major hand in it.

Well tomorrows the day so thanks for the help... no clue how I'll get through this and I can see no one wants to help I guess... Sorry if this seems rude but I'm tired of posting in a forum and no one helping, even support would be nice I mean even a "You can do it," would be nice but I don't even get that, it just hurts and I still have no clue how to make it through that day...

Hi, I'm sorry if this is a bit late now.
This is quite tough.. If it would help, you could make sure you ate healthily, and by that I mean decent sized portions, and not just a salad, but.. pasta, some type of sandwich, jacket potato? Balanced meals.
If she says anything, try saying 'I'm eating no more than you. Besides, it's my birthday.' And change the subject.
Dont let it spoil your day
PM me anytime, Annie <3
