[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I had weight issues for the better part of 30 years. Had bypass surgery, saw a dietician and changed my relationship with food - I think. :-). I get so sad/triggered by people who monitor and discuss their intake. I don't know why. I never talked a lot bout weight/diet when I was bigger, but I cannot figure out why I just turn off of anyone I don't know discussing their diet. I saw a woman that I met before that I heard discuss a 'cheat meal' about 8 times, to several different people. Every mention felt like a little admission or confession that no one requested. I cannot imagine inviting anyone to hear my concerns over my day's consumption and it just gives me the 'icks'. Is this a sign of lack of adjustment or better adjustment? I'm truly wondering.

Maybe because you take it as a personal judgment on your past weight issues ? At least for me, when I feel really uncomfortable/ something gives me the ick, it is because it brings some feeling of shame or guilt that I haven’t dealt with. It touches too close to home somehow.

I find the continuous in person handwringing over calorie consumption exhausting/boring and unhealthy (although I can do it on this anonymous forum I don’t do it IRL). But it doesn’t make me uncomfortable. I feel more compassion than ick because I never had any real issue with food.

But on the other hand I have a weird ick feeling about people who overshare on their vegan diets, and I think that’s because I myself feel guilty about not being vegan.

So, maybe you will find more peace and compassion for it as time goes by? [/quote]
