It is my silent act of resistance. My mother struggles greatly with her weight. She is an overweight woman and she hates herself or it. I for one do not see the problem. She uses this as an excuse to shame me for my weight, what I eat, and how I look. Often I will be told to 'not eat junk when you are out' or 'don't go into the kitchen and eat while everyone's asleep. So that's what I do. I will make sure to eat a McDonalds's when I'm out or make myself some food at 1.00 am. She will never know but it's my silent act of resistance. I will not gain an eating disorder due to her behaviour. Although I hope she gets better. I love her dearly and would never try to upset her, but this is my body and I will not be weighed down by diet culture and insecure about being a little chubby, I cannot live like that.
