Rundown: [community profile] rpanons is an anonymous community for role-play related topics. This place serves as a forum for game discussions, canon discussions, RP solicitations (ATP, game ads, open memes), and advice. The occasional off topic comment is inevitable, but please keep heated social and political topics to their respective communities. Posting them here will only get them frozen. Subsequent threads made to bypass a freeze will then be deleted.

Rules:

Do not post pornographic or shocking images.
Do not share private entries, plurks, chat logs, etc.
Do not use this community as your social/political/hatespeech soapbox.
Do not be redundant. One page does not need three or more threads on one topic/theme. Your unfunny, forced memes also fall under this rule.
Do not treat this comm like your personal therapist. Threads about nonfictional suicide, self injury, rape, and abuse will be deleted. There are better resources out there for you.
Do not treat this comm like your personal Plurk or Twitter. Off-topic happens, but it should be open for discussion and not just a play-by-play of your life. No one cares.
Shut up about Tumblr. If it's not a discussion about Tumblr RP it will be deleted.

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

(Anonymous) 2016-01-18 08:06 pm (UTC)(link)
i'm a fat white girl on the internet and lbr being thinner would be great. one, because i'm trans and non-flat chests are dnw. two, because i have health problems that would probably improve if i weren't borderline obese. three, i'm insecure because fat and stretch marks and occasionally weird randos on the street think i'm pregnant and get in my business just to coo about baby shit wtf??? four, because i can do what i want with my own damn body?

whenever i visit my mom, she always takes offense when i eat a REASONABLE serving (she otoh fills two plates for dinner and still snacks late at night), not because she cooks (she's bad at it and knows it), but because eating less = an eating disorder in her eyes. she says that i don't need to lose weight to impress guys***, that SHE'S fat (she's not even overweight) and SHE looks fine!, that my doctor is brainwashing me and that i can be healthy AND fat, that my health problems have nothing to do with being fat, and who knows how many other reasons.

* - despite her wanting my single ass to get preggo in the next year or so because my beautiful pet isn't enough of a grandchild for her LMAO

aside from telling her to fuck off and mind her own damn business, what are some of my options? :|

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.

Honestly I think telling her to fuck off is about the only thing you can do for most of it, though I guess on the serving thing you could try telling her that if she cooks something really healthy when you come over you could eat more of it? Like obviously if you're eating healthy and the meal is pasta you would take a small serving, but if it's something like chicken with rice and broccoli on the side you could have one normal serving and then fill a whole plate with broccoli alone and still be good as far as your diet goes.

I mean obviously you might not want to eat a whole plate of broccoli whether because you might not like it or just the principle of it, but that's the only sort of compromise that make things easier on you that I can think of.

Though that said if you have picked up an exercise hobby that you're really into you could take the I'M SUPER INVESTED IN MY NEW SPORT route and blame all your diet habits on it being best to excel in your sport, whether or not you're legit that into it.

agreeing with above anon. tell her to fuck off and mind her own damn business. in your own way, of course. wanting to change yourself doesn't mean you're being brainwashed. just tell her that while she might love you the way you are, you're having problems doing the same and you want to be able to feel comfortable in your own body. it's not about health, it's not about fitting in or doing it for anyone else. just explain to her that the main reason you're doing this is for you and only you. if she has a problem with it after that, there's really not much else you can do but la la la every time she brings it up.
