“This might be an unpopular opinion but anyone who chooses to make unsolicited comments about someone's food or body or appearance, speaks more to their own unresolved issues than the person they're making comments toward.”
THIS a million times yes. My mom lives with us and, although she tries, I know she is still working through her eating disorder thinking and her mother’s comments and it’s not about me or my kids. Still makes it hard but we’re making strides (even little ones) . Sure wish that wasn’t an unpopular opinion!
Yes to this: "no one who has a healthy relationship with food and is well nourished, not just with nutrients but with joy and comfort, is hyper-focused on what others are eating. No one who has a healthy relationship with their own body and practices body respect and shows themselves grace is hyper-focused on what others look like."

I always like to try to dig deeper when people say the things they do, even as hard as it is to listen to them!
It takes a lot of compassion to do so.
