Pregnant woman decides to start hiding 'weird' eating habits from 'spying' in-laws.

When this woman feels like her space is being invaded, she asks Reddit:&quot;AITA for refusing to eat breakfast or lunch in the same room as my in-laws because they keep giving my husband updates on how much I&rsquo;m eating?&quot; I&rsquo;ve been struggling my entire pregnancy to keep food down and I lost too much weight in the beginning. Things are getting better but everybody, especially my husband, is overly concerned about my eating habits now but it&rsquo;s only making it harder for me to eat.

Your husband and in-laws are treating you more like a child with an ED than an adult pregnant woman who is capable of regulating her own food intake as best you can.  This kind of behavior that are exhibiting towards you sometimes makes for more issues as it can create stress and anxiety around eating, doing more harm than good.  Is it possible to go stay with family or friends for a week to alleviate some of the stress and make a plan for how to address this issue around the food micromanagement? ladyvalkyrie420 writes: NTA.
