Re: HOW DO I TELL MY MOM THAT MY DIET =/= AN EATING DISORDER?

nod along while she talks, try to steer the conversation to other topics and pace yourself so you're done eating at the same time as she is.

or, 'oh, i know - but i had such a big breakfast/lunch earlier, that i honestly can't fit another bite. this just looked too delicious to pass.'

alternatively, 'oh, sorry, not eating here today, meeting friends for (meal).'

the idea isn't to try to fight a losing verbal battle with her, it's just to get out of an awkward social conversation and keep doing your thing.
