Talk About It Tuesday 1/21

I made a post here a little while ago about my friend with an ED. Fast forward a few weeks, she is coming to visit me. Need to vent :/

Why is it that after I open up about my ED now all of a sudden she insists on commenting on everything I do/eat? If I jump rope for half an hour, she says thats "a lot" and assumes it has to do with my disorder. If I don't feel like eating a half dozen pancakes before a long car ride it's because I'm restricting because of my disorder.

I can already see that her ED treatment has had somewhat of a positive effect on her- she says things like "I'm going to eat what I deserve this weekend" and all sorts of intuitive eating stuff. But my concern is that she expects me to 'inTuItIvElY eAt' with her and I cannot shake the anxiety. Just because she is in treatment, doesnt mean she gets to project all of it onto me when I don't want it to be.

I feel like spending time with her is really unhealthy for me but I really feel like I can't avoid it..
