Your boyfriend made a thoughtless comment re your eating, no man should ever be stupid enough to do that! Yet the last thing you need is to take it to heart and want to make yourself ill again.

In the 2 1/2 years from September 2012, I put on about 60lbs due to Depression and side effects of Mirtazapine. This year, I decided to do something about it after a fall had me breaking my ribs under my own weight! All I am doing is counting calories, cutting junk and being supported by friends on our Sister Site, NeuroTalk. It is working, is healthy as it is sustained and in moderation and is the one thing that raises my self-esteem.

If you have had eating issues before, and think your mindset may be slipping that way again, please address it before it becomes a health problem. Do mention to your boyfriend how hurtful and potentially damaging his comment was.
