Today, my step-mom asked if I was having some eating issues. I admitted that maybe I've picked up some bad habits from friends and school. Now she won't stop bombarding me with self-help books and therapy websites. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I admitted to my parents that I have an eating disorder. Instead of trying to help, my mom stared at me and said, "Duh". FML
Today, I finally broke down and told my mom that I'd relapsed with my eating disorder. She told me to quit whining and eat a burger, because she didn't want to pay for another therapy session. FML
Today, I told my mom that I'm bulimic and have been for a few years, and that I needed help. She responded by saying, "Well that's clearly not working for you. Why don't you try anorexia?" She then patted me on the head, smiled, and walked away. FML
Today, my mom asked me if I had an eating problem because I've been eating less. I only started eating less because she told me I ate too much. FML
Today, I decided I need help, so I confessed to my mother that I'm bulimic. After she looked it up online she started screaming at me for "Wasting food that I'm not paying for." FML
Today, after I skipped dessert for the third day in a row, my mom cornered me and accused me of being anorexic. I'm actually not far off being clinically obese and I'm just trying to diet, but nothing I say will convince her. She wants me to see a psychiatrist about a disorder I don't even have. FML
Today, I'm staying with my mother for a week. Every time I eat something, she tells me that it's "swimsuit season" and that I need to eat less. Every time I say I'm not hungry, she panics and insists I have an eating disorder. I can't win. FML
Today, my friend, knowing my mental health is really bad right now, decided to yell out the fact I have an eating disorder, and how she never sees me eat ever, then started to talk about self-harm and how she would never do it despite what she has gone through. All while side-eyeing me when talking to other people. FML
Today, I got a lecture from my mother about how bad my stress has been, how I have to treat myself better and do something with my life. She still doesn't realize that most of the cause of my stress has been from her berating me about how stressed out I am. FML
Today, my stepmother, an uncontrolled diabetic who refuses to change her abhorrent eating habits, berated me for how "mean" I am for limiting my kids’ junk food, and making them eat a portion of vegetables with every meal. Yeah, real mean. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Yes, and if you're depressed: just be happy. It doesn't work that way FYLDeep.

AT LEAST SHE CARES ABOUT YOU. most step mothers are mean to their step kids.

And all he has to do is ignore the websites and return the books. This fml doesn't deserve being on here tbh.

That's a myth... Most step-moms are shafted by Disney's versions of step-moms, and they have to deal with that image a lot. Step-moms generally really do care for their step-kids. Even if they know they'll never replace their child's mother, they still consider them their children.

I know right? This FML should've just stopped at the eating disorder. After mom trying to help you, isn't it a LML?

Hell, my step-mom wouldn't even give a shit... FYL.

Unless your parents are obsessed with you or deprive you from having a normal life, then no, there's no such thing as caring too much. I don't see a problem for OP. Maybe OP should tell her to calm down a bit, but as others have said, at least she cares.

OH! Hold on, I think I know the solution to your problem, it usually consists of one of these two solutions but never both. 1) Stop eating so much God damn food! 2) Eat some God damn food already! Follow whichever one is appropriate for your case and the situation should resolve itself soon enough. Good luck!

Incorrect, if you're depressed you're supposed to chug on over to Mamby Pamby land where maybe we can find some self confidence for you, you jackwagon!

Sure it does. I used to weigh 350lbs, but thanks to FYLDeep's one step program I am now a svelte 105! Thanks FYLDeep!
Blue_Coconuts 7
105? Woah there, tubby. You should be in the 85-90 range. FACT! anyone who weighs more than 90 points is a pig.

uhm. . . Not /quiet/ that simple sorry.
FYLDeep 26
Honesty, it is that simple. It's all part of a simple equation of Calories consumed vs. Calories burned. Overthinking this stuff is how people get into trouble in the first place.

@6 do u mean me?

Clearly, number 6 was addressing you.
schwancy 2
I'm pretty sure they were addressing the OP. That's what this comment section is for.
FYLDeep 26
Talking to the OP. But this is pretty sound advice. Clears up most cases of "eating issues". Of course there are people with extreme eating issues. Like that one college student who ended up with scurvy. (Eat some God damn vitamin C already!) Then there's insane eating issues. Ever see that 2 girls 1 cup video? Those women need serious help. They seem to lack even a basic understanding of how the human digestive process is supposed to function.

Im going to assume, based on the last sentence, that she thinks you have an eating disorder. What kind of friends do you have that would influence your eating habbits in such a way your mom would think something like that?

I think people over use the word "fat" there's a huge difference of being fat, and a little over weight. i get called fat all the time, and it really makes you think about anorexia. people just need to realize what theyre saying.
