As I try to coerce two almost-two year olds to eat their dinner, I can’t help but feel like the hypocrite I am. I want them to eat, but refuse to myself. What a horrible aunt, what a terrible role model.

Hey- go easy on you. I don´t eat with my children. I am a vegetarian and they are not, and I tell them to finish their meat every single night. No worries!

We all do it =) Just tonight, I’m begging my two boys to just finish their dinner, but then turn around and not finish my own. Don’t beat yourself up, it’s a part of living with ED. XOXO

That’s like me saying I’m interested in eating disorder research during my residency interviews (true interest, true story).

You are not being a hypocrite , you are being a caring aunt. We want those that we care about to have what is best for them and we do our best to give it to them , even when we are incapable of giving ourselves what is best for us.

That’s actually kind of how I feel. I have been watching my sister’s twins, one of each since they are 3 and it has been 5 years. While I should and sometimes can do a whole lot, I find myself very lax.

Hold on. It’s so difficult to get past the shame. You are doing something good encouraging eating. I do understand the feelings of being a hypocrite…you are not one. You have an illness.

For too long, shame and stigma kept me silent. Congratulate yourself for speaking out and see that you are not a hypocrite. You are strong, you are enough, and you will prevail.

Please don’t be so hard on yourself- I have felt exactly the same. There cane a point where my niece didn’t want to eat there dinner because I didn’t eat anything, it broke my heart, but use that to help motivate you to get better. Just think that one day you will be able to sit and eat with them. Don’t be so hard on yourself x
