Wow, this is exactly my mother! She really did a number on me and my sister growing up (my bros not as much). But yeah it was never messages of "don't eat" but what to eat, all day every day, and comments about our weight and her weight. And it felt like every meal she was hassling my dad if he ate anything besides the very lean meals she would make, or any time he snacked. Every single birthday cake came with her making comments about how bad they are for you, and that she won't eat them. I wasnt anorexic as a teen, but I was always hungry, ate one meal a day, and did grueling exercises and sports every day. I'm naturally curvy with boobs, so even with all that I was a size 6, and thought I was fat because of my mom. I look back at pictures and it's so sad-- I was tiny! Now I'm 38 and have two kids and endometriosis, and am a size 12 and don't care. My mom used to comment but I shut it down sternly a few years ago, adding I don't want to hear it, and I don't want my daughter to hear it. She is 9 and we don't discuss body sizes in our house, period. She will never hear me criticize myself or her. It's so toxic, and even if I pretend it doesn't affect me anymore, it does. Society is brutal enough on women, a mother should be a safe space from that.
I’m happy for you that you were able to not fall into the negative side of that and let it overtake your life and have gone the other route with your daughter! Praise be for ppl not carrying on generational bs like that. My mom also can’t help but comment on my looks and weight, too and it’s def a thing with their era, ugh. Glad we’re not continuing it.
She's not even that, tbh. She pretends to be vegan. She's gluten-free for no reason other than it being trendy. The candy land party where she wanted to insist on low sugar candies but had no idea what candies to get or where to get them from. Having her assistants make her nut milk from scratch. She just seems like she uses "health" as another way to be elitist
Honestly this is the most bizzare thing to me.
Even when she scolded Kim for not being environmentally friendly in her purchases, and Kim clapped back asking why Kourtney doesn’t have an electric car, why she has 4 phones, why she has plastic glasses and why her car has leather seats if she’s so “eco conscious”.
I understand there are people that genuinely ARE eco-conscious in their day-to-day life, and therefore it’s valid for them to question why others don’t make the same choices. BUT Kourtney is the furthest thing from eco-friendly - her and Kylie have the highest water bill out of all the KJ’s; she constanly wears leather, plastic, and other non-environmental material; she criticizes her family for not being health conscious - but when she wants to eat something that doesn’t meet her diet she says she deserves it as a “cheat day” and no one is allowed to question it; she criticizes her family for working out, but will refuse to work out even though it’s proven to be healthier than dieting (which she does); she openly preaches about the dangers of silicone in the body - but was the first of the KJ’s to get silicone implants which she hasn’t removed; she’s been photographed with her children littering, and laughs at it rather than explaining to them why littering it bad, she’s taken a private jet across the country numerous times to simply get her hair and nails done. Like how is she not embarrassed doing this but saying the complete opposite?
She and her logic about everything is so hypocritical and tiring, it drives me nuts!
It’s a different story if someone behaves this way, gets called out on it, and understands where the other person is coming from (even if they don’t agree). But in Kourtney’s case, anytime she gets called out she uses the “you don’t respect my boundaries” or “you are such a toxic person and need to worry about your own issues” lines. She’s living in Deluluville and can’t stand people calling her out on it.
I kind of have this feeling that she used to always make her weight a big deal with Kim in high school...because Kim is a couple of inches taller and would naturally weigh a little more and Kourtney was built teeny tiny. She seems very very toxic.
I think so too. Her and Kim were always compared to each other and that was something Kourtney had. In the earlier seasons even though Kim was having lots of work done and not talking about it she seemed to have a healthier relationship with food. She would enjoy sweets and nice dinners but she was getting plastic surgery and lying about it so what are you going to do.
>She would enjoy sweets and nice dinners
Yes! She actually did eat. Kourtney was so unhealthy about it, which is ironic given her recent posts about body acceptance and her wellness brand :/
>she was getting plastic surgery and lying about it so what are you going to do.
Truly. She was always altering her body and face and gaslighting. So, a bad example in this way. It really negatively affected so many to not know the truth.
I think it's doing a number on Kourtney that just when she's dealing with weight gain because of fertility drugs, pregnancy, and postpartum, Kim and Khloe are the thinnest they've ever been. It makes sense she would veer to the opposite side and pretend to be all about accepting one's bodies. She's trying to feel better about herself in the one area she always had leverage on over her sisters, and trying to make them look like the unhealthy ones. The mental gymnastics they all do in every phase of life to feel like the #1 Kardashian must be so exhausting.
This is a great point! I don't have anything else to add but this whole post has been an interesting read and has honestly made me feel a bit better lol. (My mom is 5 foot nothing, built like teeny Audrey Hepburn and I'm definitely NOT haha, so it's been nice to read these comments. Hugs to everyone else who also has physical and emotional baggage about their weight. 🥲)
“her heart is in the right place” No, she is just as bad as the rest of them… She is plant based and not vegan (she wears leather) and bottom line is $$$ hence her supplement line..
She is one hundred percent orthorexic.
All those wacky rules she sets in place for eating point to it. The obsession with health is a thin disguise to control eating habits. Her freaking oldest son only wanted McDonalds as a treat because she is projecting her food issues into her kids already so much that they fixate on it.
I actually see it as she is someone with disordered eating who moved from anorexia to orthorexia and her current posts about how it takes time to bounce back are a good sign. Her recent posts sound more like messages you want her to absorb. That it is ok not to bounce back immediately, it’s ok for your body to be different, to celebrate your body for what it is capable of vs. What it looks like.
Her early season comments seem messy because it is anorexia. However it seems like she has been on a healing journey with it over the last 5 years
Yes I definitely agree these are messages you want her to absorb. Kourtney always seems on the cusp of self awareness. You can tell she has a good therapist. But ultimately her life is so far removed from "normal" and with such an unbelievably toxic family, she might never get there. You can't help but root for at least the chance she might change -- that's why Khloe was the favorite for so long.
Yes. All of them have varying degrees of mental health issues regarding physical appearance and weight.
It is evident with the way they run to get surgery. The way all of them discuss weight. How they handle losing weight. How they light up when someone says they have lost weight.
It rings all the alarm bells in my head. They're a deeply unhealthy family, and no amount of salads will undo that.
Orthorexia is complex and not fully understood. In some cases, orthorexia can be linked to other conditions, such as obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) and other eating disorders.
orthorexic
Omg! That's like a PRE-REQUISITE for 🥗 almond moms! You're spot on! 
Whats that
Obsession with eating healthy food

I am so proud of you for breaking the cycle. Sorry you went through that

I just looked it up. Thats her to a T.

Now Kim is just like her though with the healthy eating get off your ass and work crap

Ugh I know...it's so annoying. I never believe she does anything she says she does because nothing ever adds up
“her heart is in the right place” No, she is just as bad as the rest of them… She is plant based and not vegan (she wears leather) and bottom line is $$$ hence her supplement line..
She also drinks bone broth and eats McD fries which aren’t vegan. She’s a hypocritical pos.
She is one hundred percent orthorexic. All those wacky rules she sets in place for eating point to it. The obsession with health is a thin disguise to control eating habits. Her freaking oldest son only wanted McDonalds as a treat because she is projecting her food issues into her kids already so much that they fixate on it.
If I had a Mom like this junk food would be the ultimate rebellion
Orthorexia is a real thing. Even with it I concur she is insufferable. I say this as a former vegan and current plant based person.
I actually see it as she is someone with disordered eating who moved from anorexia to orthorexia and her current posts about how it takes time to bounce back are a good sign. Her recent posts sound more like messages you want her to absorb.

What does OCD have to do with this?

I read this crap because it makes me sleepy. Works like a charm. Yawn. Nite.
