Seriously whenever people ask what I’m doing about my weight (not in a rude way just a curious way), when I feel like sharing I’ll tell the truth because I hate lying, and say I’m eating less. I then always no matter what get a shocked and concerned reaction, as if I just told them I’m shooting heroin or something. I got this so much I now make sure right after that I say “I’m still eating 1,600 calories a day, giving myself treats every now and then”, etc. but by then it feels like I’m defensive (which I am since I don’t want people to have that impression of me) and they believe me even less and give me the “yeah… right…” look and nod.
The thing is when people ask I want to share! I have been bottling up these good vibes from my weight loss so far and whenever someone asks I just want to share because I feel so good, but then I get this crap…
Can someone reassure me (or be honest if I’m wrong) and tell me, do I sound like someone with an ED?
I-
-
eat three meals a day
-
my calorie limit is 1,680, I usually end up between 1,400 and 1,600 though
-
weigh myself every couple days (maybe 3-4 times a week)
-
never purged
-
I’m losing weight for health reasons to try and reverse a condition I’ve got, sure I look and feel better with lower weight but that’s just a sprinkle on top.
-
I lose about 4-6lb a month (SW 245, CW 225, H 5”4, female, zero exercise)
Like… I don’t get why everyone attributes eating less = must have an eating disorder.
And now whenever someone asks and I share with them, before i finish I make sure to say “I still eat a bunch just not crazy portions, I’m still eating”, but I think that just makes them more suspicious. I can never win.
Does anyone else deal with this? Any ideas?
