Coming Out To My Mother In Law

I looooove my mother in law. Buuuut I have had some serious anxiety over telling her. Initially I didn't want to tell her at all but she would be so hurt if I didn't and she later found out. She is extremely holistic. And never had weight issues. She is very thin and would never be able to come close to understanding what it's like to be over weight enough to qualify on bmi alone for sugary. I don't know how to handle this. I know 100% she would not want me to to this. But as I sat across from her talking about life today I felt guilty not telling her... Ah geez. I hope I get the guts to tell and that even though she disagrees is gracious enough to let it be. I know it's because she care. She really does... I'm just so nervous.

  • Sit her down, take a deep breath, and tell her just what you told us. She may surprise you. You might add, your not telling EVERYONE, but you wanted her to know, because her support means so much.....

This reminds me so much of telling one of my best friends. She is an extremely healthy woman overall. I was very hesitant to tell her about this because I had no clue about how she would react. She has ended up being one of my biggest supporters! She is all about health- so of course she wants to see me healthy! She also had really great tips and advice for me. People that truly love you are so much more understanding than we think! Good luck with telling her, it most likely won't be as bad as you are expecting!
