Commenting on food choices ok?

Is that normal when you eat something you like and there is always that one person that goes 'omg how much are you eating it's already 7 in the morning. I still didn't eat anything' and I ate 3 small sandwiches (I'm a binge eater and that's a progress). I overate again today (1.8k calories, maintenance for today bc i worked out but for normal days it's a lot). She's a very close friend and we joke around together so i know she doesn't mean any harm with that comment but I still feel bad. Am I overreacting?

Really depends on how it's done, how often it is, and who it's done on. In general, I don't think it's a good idea to do it on people you're not good friends with and won't take it personally.

However, to me it doesn't sound like you're overeating. It's just a lot of girls don't eat that much usually in attempt to stay skinnier or they have stomach issues, which isn't good. I'd just do you and try your best not to worry about it. 1.8k calories isn't a lot and 3 small sandwiches in the morning isn't a lot either.

If it bother's you she is doing it, then just let her know. I wouldn't go about it in an aggressive way, but just be like "Hey, I know you meant well, but these types of jokes/comments bother me, so I'd appreciate it if you didn't"

Thanks because currently I'm so scared of weight gain and these things bother me. My maintenance calorie intake is 1400-1600 so I'm kinda worrying about eating 1.8k calories and my friend makes me worry more

[AaronKrieger]

Yeah, I understand and that'd bother me too in your situation, but 1.8k calories is nothing to worry about for in your situation. Do you plan on bringing it up with her?

[Asker]

Yea if she makes another comment I will tell her about it

Sure it is normal I joke and tease my feinds and he is doing good with eating.

But she is probably worried about you.

[Asker]

But that doesn't make sense she says I need to gain wieght but att he same time says i eat so much

[JeffersonA]

O sorry miss read
Well that is a lot but it's more that it is just one sitting.
I think maybe worried you eat so much at once
But normal things 😉
