I had posted it up on Facebook out of a random urge one night, though I don't do anything related to anorexia or bulimia. I make sure I don't overeat or undereat, with a random cheat day thrown in once in a while. I just felt the phrase was correct at the time, since sugary foods started to taste bad, and fitting in smaller clothing felt good. My comment on the photo was the joke, "And yes, I've tried Nutella."
"They'll just ignore it," is what I thought. I hardly ever get a like or response on my posts.
Next day, the first post I see is:
Quote:
Sayings like this, and these type of mentalities are why so many people have eating disorders. No offense, but this is disgusting.
Five hours after I had posted, the girl who said that posted this: Sayings like this, and these type of mentalities are why so many people have eating disorders. No offense, but this is disgusting.

Message I received from a guy today: "lose some flub off those cheeks and we will talk. k "
And people wonder why I'm so self-conscious. I hadn't said ANYTHING to this guy. So he went out of his way to be a jerk.
I'm sorry if my appearance offends people. I didn't realize I was that atrocious.
I hope she didn't think I posted it to bother her, as I double checked and I posted first.Message I received from a guy today: "lose some flub off those cheeks and we will talk. k "

And her rage probably made her see past the humor in my Nutella comment.
I feel as if I have no free speech in relation to dieting anymore. I felt like deleting my Facebook account after that. The only reason I keep it is because I can keep up with my family that's 1,000 miles away with it.
Top this all off with in-laws in the past, and others, telling me I don't need to lose weight, and its just crazy. I'm at a normal weight, but my fat percentage is 34.9% That's obese!
I don't know what to do anymore. Should I have deleted her? Should I continue posting as normal? What would you have done?
(In response, I added something about being thin gave me financial security in my mind, as interviewers tend to hire the more attractive one.)
