“I am sorry that your family is not supportive of your efforts. Maybe you could ask them what they would do to achieve and maintain a healthy body & weight? This might actually get them thinking rather than just criticizing. If you are eating health giving foods and not empty junk food and exercising moderately rather than excessively, then ask them ‘what are their fears ?”

Thank you Roberta, for your sympathy. I understand logically WHY my family is worried. If my daughter wasn’t eating for a day or two, perhaps I would be in the same boat. My mom actively said she wants me to count calories and do small meals every single day rather than going cold turkey until it’s the day I’m able to break my fast. She thinks my mindset toward eating is incorrect I argued that we as humans don’t need food everyday and that’s when we started to argue.

My mom’s afraid that I’m going to go the other direction. She warned me before I got fat what the consequences were going to be and I didn’t listen. Now she feels as though I’m going to go in the opposite direction and become anxoreic, which I just don’t see happening. I don’t know how to change her mind that I won’t yoyo when I already got obese in the past against her warnings.
