Old Habbits Die Hard

I have been overweight since sophmore year in highschool.

My parents were not as supportive and did not know how to approach me in regards to my sky-high weight gain.
They would make jokes, say things like.. "do you really think you should eat that, look at your thighs" or "wow, you can tell you were home this weekend, theres no food in the house".

I was going through a lot of things that they didnt know about and was self-medicating with food.
I am still to this day extremely defensive when it comes to my eating habits... its a struggle to not binge & purge..

My husband is SUCH an amazing man and supports me 100%.. he never says anything rude but whenever he says something regarding what i eat i still feel like i have to be defensive for all those years dealing with my overbearing family... i know he is trying to help and i know i over-react. even thoguh i can recognize it.. i dont know how to stop it.. any suggestions??
