i agree so much with this, i hate it when people comment on how much i eat. they don't see their comment as hurtful usually, but it really hurts me, and people need to stop commenting on this
as someone that struggles with eating breakfast and eating in general, thank you for posting this. the comments and lingering eyes affect us so much more than people realize.
Sending a virtual hug 🫂. As someone who has struggled with food for way too long (and still does) I resonated way too much with this. People need to learn to shut their mouths and mind their business, no one knows what battles a person might be fighting
You taking two more mouthfuls of that waffle shows how incredibly resilient you are. It was an act of defiance against a society that determines our worth based on what we eat. You should be so proud of yourself, keep fuelling that body so you can keep writing thoughtful, inspiring pieces of work <3
I hope next time you can enjoy your waffle in piece! I will never understand the need for people to comment on what someone else is eating. As you said its not witty at all. Really liked how empowering and uplifting you remained here through your own pain!!
thank you for your beautiful words of support. i'm so glad that i can uplift other women through writing about my own personal experiences! i'm glad you liked it!
Please NEVER EVER feel that way about food.. I genuinely don’t understand people who think it’s okay to comment on someone else’s food. I’ve always said this food isn’t something to be compromised on it’s literally a basic need so to you and anyone reading this eat what you want we’re very privileged to get this food and no random person should spoil our appetite for us. Ever. And you should be proud of yourself for working up all that courage to eat it 🥹💗
this was really powerfully written, and also so deeply relatable. i hate the way that our society always feels the need to comment on women’s bodies and the food they eat. thank you for sharing!!
I’ve struggled with eating in the past and went 180, getting angry at the comments like that and binge eating later in the night because I was never wanting to hear the comments during the day. My body crept to 200lbs from 128lbs in three years. I was prediabetic. It got worse the more people commented on “my eating” and “my weight.” I was getting worse out of spite and realised their words were winning in the end… that’s when I took a step back and said it’s time to just exist how I want to and eat what I want because I want to! They can choke on their words while I choke down whatever I want in the daylight without shame, because it’s OUR BODY and we deserve the fuel. Loved this!!!
im so sorry you had to go through this, but i'm so glad you're doing better now. this is so inspiring for me, so thank you for sharing your experiences.
As someone who has dealt with eating disorders in the past I would like to apologize that you had to go through that. It hurts when you feel like you have made progress and then a relative looks at you and says “wow do you ever eat?”
We set a standard in our minds and it always gets further away when we hear these comments and it’s heartbreaking as we feel forced to smile through it. We shouldnt feel this comfortable commenting on others bodies. Just always think before you speak.
Thank you for taking time to read this and I would just like to share that you are beautiful whatever you look like ❤️❤️❤️
thank you for your kind words. i'm glad (not really) that i'm not alone in this, and that this is something that resonates with people. and thank you for your support, i'm sorry that you have also dealt with these issues.
i am so sorry you had to go through that but it definitely is an important issue. some people don’t understand that even the smallest of comments can have the biggest effects, and that applies to a variety of things
even as someone that has an average sized body, one comment could set me off and cause me to overthink for a long period, and it sucks that some people just don’t have that awareness.

exactly. im so sorry you have to go through this, it's the worst feeling in the world.

yes. i hope you do better with eating, it's something so hard to deal with, and yes, the comments do not help at all, it's hard enough.
Sending a virtual hug 🫂. As someone who has struggled with food for way too long (and still does) I resonated way too much with this. People need to learn to shut their mouths and mind their business, no one knows what battles a person might be fighting
say it louderrr. thank you for the support! i'm so glad this post was so inspiring for so many people. and yes ppl need to shut their mouths!

thank you. this means so much! i have been doing a lot better with food lately!
I hope next time you can enjoy your waffle in piece! I will never understand the need for people to comment on what someone else is eating. As you said its not witty at all. Really liked how empowering and uplifting you remained here through your own pain!!
