Ok so my mums being doing th weight watchers she doesn't use mfp and she normally is pretty good at controlling her food, although my aunties have told me she was once an emotional eater. I have seen her eat sometimes more than normal or out of the ordinary but didn't think anything of it.
Last week I phone her to let her know I'm coming to visit and she freaks out! She told me she had binged for ten days straight and she doesn't want me to see her fat!
I was like mum seriously ur not fat u can't just become fat in 10 days even with binging that bad swollen bloated sluggish yes but not fat!
She can't see what I see I'm not sure if she's suffering from body dis morphia or wether its her conscience but I'm worried about her how do I explain to her now all this works that she can just go back to healthy eating and forget what happened, I've even said if u ever need the urge to do this again phone me or visit ........your advice will be appreciated
