Health, Family, Awkward and Diets: Family time

Family time

By skinny - 01/11/2023 00:02

Today, my parents decided to go on a diet. This would be perfectly fine if they didn’t insist I go on one too. I weigh less than 90 pounds and am underweight for my height. FML

Today, the school called my dad telling him they want to put me on a diet, because they're worried about my weight. FML

Skinny love

Today, despite begging my parents to get food other than diet and weight loss stuff, they refused. I'm bullied for being skinny on a daily basis. FML

Today, while at my mom’s house, my mom told me that I need to seriously curb my food intake. Then I went to my dad’s house and he told me I need to gain weight. I can’t win here. FML

Hangry people

Today, my parents yelled at me for ordering too much fast food. The only reason I’m doing it is because there isn’t any food in the house. Not only that but I’m also trying to gain weight. FML

Today, after I skipped dessert for the third day in a row, my mom cornered me and accused me of being anorexic. I'm actually not far off being clinically obese and I'm just trying to diet, but nothing I say will convince her. She wants me to see a psychiatrist about a disorder I don't even have. FML

Today, I got told I was too fat and needed to stop eating, because I need to lose weight. I was then given a full plate of food and had to eat it all. FML

Today, my parents threw out the beautiful birthday cake my aunt made me, and served celery sticks at my party because I need to "watch my weight." FML

A diet can also mean eat more or eat more calory-dense stuff, you know.

Eat junk food when they're not around. Easy.

No reason to go the junk food route. A dozen energy balls under the bed, some Cliff bars in the school locker, 9% fat yoghurt in the fridge and some nice dinner with friends should do the trick. If the parents find the energy balls or complain about the yoghurt, remind them that teenagers and young adults need more calories than middle-aged people. Especially if they're underweight.
