[quote=Anonymous]My mom did - she had/has her own body issues and issues with women, for sure, but it still sucked. She never told me I was beautiful but always made a point to ridicule my belly (even as a teen weighing 115 my tummy had some roundness) and would berate me for eating seconds and desserts. Once, when I was ten, I'd eaten a lot of cookies after school - she made me do sit-ups and sent me to my room without dinner.

To answer your question, I've had body dysmorphic disorder my whole life (felt I looked huge and gross as a size four). Had a touch of bulimia and anorexia as a teen, but I really attribute that more to the girls I was hanging out with. I've tried to develop a healthier relationship with food but always internally equate my self-worth with my thinness. Being heavy after having my children made me so very uncomfortable- sadly, it was the only time my mom didn't make negative comments about my body, which suggests a really weird element of jealousy/ competition on her part. Sad. [/quote]
