Any other mamas with eating disorders?

If so, how are you handling pregnancy? I did way better with my daughter but this time I honestly have to force myself to eat. I'm struggling. Baby is healthy though which is the important thing.

I was finally starting to get back semi in shape when I found out I was pregnant. The worst response is having someone say that I don't look like I have an eating disorder. My mind just hears that as a comment on how fat I am and I hate it! I'm doing okay. Baby is healthy. But sometimes I project my eating disorder onto my toddler. I snap at her for eating and then go cry because I don't ever want her to struggle like I have.
