TW: Eating Disorder

For those who do not know, I have an eating disorder. I keep a lot of myself hidden for many reasons, one of which being that comments about by body (positive OR negative) are physically harmful to me.

I had my great grandmother say to me just before new year “oh you’ve lost weight, me and (her daughter) were saying you had gained it last time we saw you”. She may as well have punched me in the face. Is there any way to set boundaries with them?

There is. The only way to do it is to be straight forward. Whether they decide to listen or not is up to them and how you decide to engage with them after is up to you, but the best thing is to be open, honest, but not angry.
No one responds to aggression well.

There's a reason the "villain arc" meme was partly about setting up boundaries. Every time you do, people treat you like you're the bad guy.

Thanks for being willing and comfortable to share that with us, Kira. You're such an amazing person.
