"make friends with what you are."

perdu-me:

Things not to say to me while I’m eating:

  • That’s a lot of food
  • That’s not enough food
  • You’re going to eat all of that???!??
  • That looks gross
  • That’s not healthy
  • That looks healthy
  • That’s disgusting
  • Why are you eating that?
  • I’m glad you’re eating more

In case you didn’t understand, DON’T MENTION ANYTHING ABOUT MY EATING/FOOD/INTAKE WHETHER IT BE POSITIVE OR NEGATIVE I DON’T WANT TO HEAR IT.

A message to my family.
