JinnKai, she's a clinical dietician for old people. She tells old people what they should be eating. She has, surely, studied eating disorders. But I doubt she has worked one-on-one with someone that has suffered from an eating disorder for years. Yes, EDs may be for attention, but as a person that has suffered nearly my entire life with one, I know that I hate my thought processes when it comes to food. (I would say I inherited it, because my grandmother and my aunt and my mother all have had eating disorders. My mother still does.) It's not like I make it a big deal, frankly. I always sit at the table with them, and pick around at my food and try to eat like a fucking normal person. I don't think my eating disorder should be a reason why his mother should attack me.
Anyway, I apologise if this is just turning into me defending myself. I've just been doing it a lot recently, because people just started noticing it when my weight took a dive. Your advice is definitely good.
