I am Anorexic and Hate My Life

[MissTuree]

A little history first: I have not met my bf's parents yet. We met in Arizona and then moved to Maryland, he is from Washington (state) so we haven't been back there for me to meet his family yet. (He's met mine) I have talked to his mom a few times on the phone, but that's it. She is a pain killer addict so unless she is sober it is really hard to talk to her.

Alright here goes...

So yesterday I posted a status on FB, "Working out when you are dehydrated is the worst idea EVER! I went from feeling great to wanting to keel over." No biggie right? I had a few friends laugh at me and tell me to get some Gatorade, another said she did that the same thing other day and wanted to puke. All in good fun. Well then last night my (I'll call her MIL just to make it easy) MIL puts this comment, "stop that shit (Miss Turee). You don't need to do this".......ummmm......huh? I look at this and figure she's joking around, she has a sense of humor so I thought that's all that was.

Fast forward 10 minutes. I see this posted on my wall from her:

"(MISS TUREE), please call me and tell me what you're felling. Please, I've had more experience in these situations. I'm not yon're enemy. It's OK. I know your having a hard time adjusting the outside . It's normal. my email is ,(......). Don't hesitate to write OK!! We're on you'er side."

Again....huh?!?! At this point I'm super confused. I show my bf and ask what's going on. If any of you have read my previous posts, I am going through a bit of a rough spot right now, but I have definitely never talked to her about it, or put it on FB or anything. I post stuff like that HERE so no one I know is involved. My bf does know though, so I asked if he said anything to her. I let him know that if he had it was okay, I just wanted to know where she was coming from, he swore to me that he hadn't talked to her about any of that, it is none of her business (I believe him because he is private like that). He got mad about it and called her. Now the fun part.....

Apparently I have an eating disorder, and I work out because I am miserable and hate my life. He is literally laughing saying, "Mom, she just scarfed down like 6 burritos for dinner....she eats!" and "People work out to be healthy mom, not just because they hate their life!" She even had him ask how much I weigh because she thinks I'm unhealthy. I am 5'8 and weigh 140 lbs. I am usually happy with myself at 135 (toned) so me at 140 (loose) is not anorexically skinny. So pretty much she took my FB post completely literally and assumed that I am trying to workout until I die or something. The bf fought with her for a little while and then got off the phone, apologized and figured she was on something. Totally out of left field. I really hope she doesn't start disliking me when I haven't even met her yet.

Well she's addicted to opiates so things she says are going to sound crazy. I would ignore that and not take it seriously.

What she said! Sorry that happened. I know how that dehydration can feel though. Ugh! That happened to me a few months ago. I was getting so busy between school and parenting, I wasn't drinking enough water. I woke up on morning with horrible cramps and wanted to hurl. I was just dehydrated, so I made sure to remember to take my water jug with me everywhere.

OOOEEEMGEEE! Shows how things get all misconstrued!

[PaperClip811]

Wow.

I usually do, when she started talking to me about not going outside without my "bear spray" before (because she was honestly terrified that my son and I were going to be eaten by bears in Maryland) I just agreed and moved on with the conversation. She is a very nice woman who raised my bf and his lil brother as a single mom herself. She bent over backwards throughout her life for her boys and I feel like now that they're outta the house she just let go. So I don't judge her or think anything of her addiction, at least she waited until her boys were grown to break down. But I am just worried that she is going to misconstrue so many things that she is going to end up hating me. Especially when her son gets mad at her because of it (I don't want her to blame me for that) And THAT would break my heart. Family means everything to me, I can't have my future MIL not like me.

I am 5'8 and 120. I would love to be 140. I eat, but can't put on a pound it sucks. 

[MissTuree]

lol I used to be that way! I was 5'8 and 104lbs in highschool. I tried my darndest to gain weight, but my metabolism was just too fast. After I joined the military and had my son I jumped up to 120-125. Over the past about 4 years my metabolism has slowed down considerably and I am more susceptible to gain weight.
