Thanks goys for the support! It's been a really hard past week (starting to quit smoking, and starting DBT) and when I came back and read through all of these it really made me smile and feel stronger within myself.

Most of the people who are saying stuff are not strangers (although my prof commented after my last exam when everyone was at the bar together and I wasn't eating, and he got all the people at the table either asking questions like "so what CAN you eat?" and telling me all of the nutrients I am missing and what supplements I should be taking), but most of the people are friends who come over for dinner every week... and my sister but I think I learned how to tune her out years ago. They're coming over on Sunday and I'm still trying to figure out how to feed everyone, since 2 of them don't eat ANY vegetables if they can help it.

I've been really good about keeping my comments to myself about other peoples food choices, because I remember when an old friend of mine became vegan years ago and it almost broke our friendship because she couldn't stop pushing it on me. I haven't commented on anyone (exempt my mom)'s eating habits. But still people are trying to "educate me" on all of the terrible ways I am hurting myself but cutting out animal based foods.

I am slowly getting better at tuning them out, since reasoning with them from a scientific stand point does not work.
