Redditor Accused Of Hindering His Anorexic Sister's Recovery By Eating Only Certain Types Of Food Around Her

by Ayoub

Shaking an eating disorder off is similar to recovering from substance abuse. The triggers are constantly tormenting you and can sometimes tempt you to regress to your old habits. 

Whenever people experience these triggers, their eating disorders can relapse and recur. Anorexia nervosa is seen as the deadliest mental health disorder and is only one of many other eating disorders out there.

Anorexia is characterized by an intense fear of weight gain, abnormally low body weight, and distorted perceptions of body size. Body shape and weight become the highest priority for people with anorexia, driving them to excessive measures to maintain or reach a certain weight. 

These measures can negatively impact the livelihood of people with anorexia. Anorexic individuals avoid certain food types, such as sugar or carbs, to lose or prevent weight gain.

A Redditor who goes by the username u/anorexic_sisterAITA made a post on the r/AmItheAhole subReddit where she explained how her parents accused her of hindering her sister's recovery from anorexia by having a healthy diet. The Reddit community had a lot of different reactions to the user's situation.

Op is allowed to choose her own diet despite her sister's condition. You can't force someone to change their diet to please other people.

However, she should avoid talking about the diet since it might be a trigger for her sister. If you enjoyed reading this story, make sure to check out similar content on our platform.
