Little sister (10) potentially being influenced into unhealthy beliefs
I think I’m being paranoid, my friends have told me I al but I’d rather be paranoid than miss things.
Background; my family have always been overweight with horrific attitudes regarding weight and weight loss. My mother had me in slimming world with her at like 11and it really fucked me up amongst other things (constantly commenting on her and my weight, judging others, commenting on everything I ate etc). She wasn’t the only one this is a widespread issue within the family. I know she’s raising my sister with the same comments. I’m 27 now and finally unlearning the disordered eating and borderline binge eating disorder that I let run my life for years.
The issue is I’m now very strict about what I eat to make sure I’m staying out of that binge/restrict cycle. I didn’t realise the other day but my sister was there while I was discussing how much weight I had lost (it’s healthy, slowly and surely and making sure I’m getting the right amount of nutrients a day) and other related things I don’t think I’m allowed to mention here.
I’m NOW worried I may have contributed to whatever is going on inside my sisters head. She has made comments about how fat she is (she isn’t) and how she hates it. I haven’t noticed her being weird with her food, but I don’t see her as often as I want since I’ve moved out.
Is there any advice on what I can do? Am I just being paranoid?
