Conversations with my parents the mom edition

1- She keeps telling me that we need to find something for me to wear to my cousin's upcoming wedding b/c I clearly won't fit into the gown I wore to Sophie and Alex's wedding and I shouldn't have given away the outfit I wore to my cousin Harry's wedding - this is a recurring theme as I give away fat clothes when I lose weight and then have nothing to wear when I gain it back. Each time my mom tells me that next time she will keep my clothes and of course each time I lose the weight I think that it is for real and I wont' need my larger clothes again.
2- My mom actually reference my bulimia today- albeit in terms of her wish that I not speak about it on video for the eating disorder project. We briefly discussed the option of speaking with a blurred face and voice but she would prefer I not do that either as I am producing the video and she thinks it there is enough fodder for speculation about my motivation already.

Upcoming posts- Graveyard of past relationships, Practicing Moderation and Matchmaking

sheeeeeeeit. please tell me she didn't actually say that. or that she didn't say it like that.I'm sure i don't have to remind you of the horrific events in South Lilahtown that led to this (using the term loosely) insight: Beware of people who are more horrified that people will find out about something than they are about the thing itself.

I dont think that is how she meant it, it's just how it sounded to me. I think she doesn't really believe it - she knows i am bulimic but I think she chooses not to KNOW I am bulimic so why would I talk about something she isn't sure really happened?
