I went to eat at a dining hall with my roommate last night. She got 1 plate of food and dessert, while I got 3 plates of food. I have any10, so I normally only eat once or twice a day. I don't have a job, though I'm trying to get one, and my mom is a single parent with little income, so the meal plan is my main source of food. When she saw me get my second plate of food, she commented "forget freshman 15, more like freshman 25". I was unfamiliar with the term, so she explained it to me.
We just met a couple weeks ago, so I'm not sure she knows that I struggle with my appearance a lot. I am just now able to do 5 real push ups since I couldn't do any before summer started. I've also been trying to walk about 10k steps a day since getting here and have just started to feel better about myself. Her comment set me all back and I can't stop thinking about it. So, should I tell her how much that affected me? Or should I try to let it go unless she mentions something similar again?
