Daphne, I am so sorry you have experienced this and I KNOW many, many others have as well. Thank you for sharing this story.

I also had the watch your weight talks with my parents, that sent me on a life-long dysfunctional relationship with food that I am finally starting to unravel.

You’re right Mimi, these experiences were so common. If it wasn't you, it was someone else you knew. But the shame kept people quiet. And the fear stopped people from standing up. Sadly, still does.

And I’m so glad you’re working towards a more functional relationship with food. I know it’s not easy to do. I'm still working on it too. Thanks for sharing Mimi :)
