Well that's a new one...

I mentioned to my MIL that I was back on LCing. She then proceeded to imply that I have an "eating disorder" like her son does.

Sheesh. Never had that one before.

An eating disorder?? That is a new one...eating healthy is a disorder?? My mother asked me if I was one of those anorexic people...who don't eat. I told her I am only avoiding the sugar, flour, processed foods...and she said "Exactly...you don't eat!" Um...since when has eating vegetables, proteins, sugar free been considered not eating??

Yep - that really is a new one. Too bad that she doesn't understand this WOE.

Makes no sense - it's no different than someone cutting out fat or dairy or salt.

What kind of eating disorder does her son have?

I am so sick of the way people think.I now tell people I am eating a diabetic(SP?) diet. They shut up fast then. I hate to not say low carb but I am tired of all the mean comments I get.You can`t explain because they will NOT listen.

I know the feeling. I dont even bother telling people anymore. But if asked I say I am avoiding sugar & white flour............thats all they need to know. If I tell someone low carb , i usually hear.........OH! Thats bad for you.
Well ya know.....I feel better eatting this way so

to them!

People that eat all that junk have an eating disorder. Sometimes it's easier to just keep your mouth closed - it's not worth a response. You could respond "yes I think we do have an eating disorder" but I don't know what to do about it..... tee hee.

Only after rejecting what 'other people' thought was normal eating
behavior did I find a solution to my Compulsive Overeating.

Don't listen to the donkeys and the skeptics. Just follow a program you believe works, based on empirical evidence and the success of others and "don't give a inch!"

Ned: I agree with you "don't give an inch" - follow your own heart.
