Hey. I’m a 22 f and I still live with my mom. I compete in pageants by my own choice and recently did very well in my state competition by maintaining a sustainable diet and exercising when I wanted to.
In the past, I’ve struggled with starving myself and have been accused of orthorexia, but I don’t think I have it.
My competition was three weeks ago now and mom is getting really pushy about food and the gym now. I went to two yoga classes in a row yesterday and even checked my calories burned (around 700). Before class, I had eaten a smoothie bowl and that was it. So after I decide to go to a Mexican restaurant with my friend that mom and I frequent, and we know there are things in the menu I can eat. I took a picture showing her I was there and she sent me a text message saying “I give up”. And then told me there was no way I could eat anything there.
So this morning at like 6:30 she barges into my room pissed off that I didn’t make it to 6 am yoga this morning. I checked my phone and at 2 am she asked me “what happened to 6 am yoga” and then told me I have 2 weeks until my next competition. I weigh about 113 lbs and am 5’2”.
Let me also add, we have a great relationship overall! This is just the one bump we have that really bothers me. I have told her multiple times over the years that she makes me feel worse and not enjoy competing when I love everything else. And I’ve told her she makes me feel sometimes like I only equate to how thin I am.
I just don’t know what to do or how to get this not to sting.
TL;DR
My mom projects her food issues on me and wants to know my workout schedule even though I’m 22.
