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

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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
Today, I'm so skinny that I was told to, “Eat a burger.” While I was eating a burger. FML
Today, I was told it is "fatphobic" to "assume someone's weight is related to their food choices" and that I have a "problematic relationship with food." All because I didn't want to eat a bigger slice of the cake someone brought in at work. FML
Today, my family held an intervention and told me I needed to lose weight. It probably would've had more impact if they hadn't done this over video chat while stuffing their faces at an all-you-can-eat buffet. FML
Today, I went to my favorite all you can eat buffet. The cook tapped my shoulder and told me to stop eating. FML
Today, my dad insisted on taking us to a local buffet that is known for bad food and botulism. He kept piling things onto a plate for me, despite my objections. A waitress commented on how much was on my plate. I told her I wasn't hungry, and it was my dad's doing. Her response, "Your skinny self needs to eat." FML
Today, I told my parents that I was going on a diet to lose weight and I wanted their support. They brought home donuts and pizza for dinner. FML
Today, I got fired from my job at a weight-loss center because I was too skinny, and apparently it's too depressing for the customers to handle. FML
Today, after I completely starved myself for a week and exercised every day in an attempt to lose weight, I instead gained 5 pounds. FML
Today, my mom asked me if I had an eating problem because I've been eating less. I only started eating less because she told me I ate too much. FML

Do you have no agency in your life? How about you decide what you want to weigh and how much you want to eat?

Fact #1 - Everyone eats or you eventually die. You have to eat. Fact #2 How much you eat and especially what you eat makes all the difference in your weight. Fact #3 exercise can help, but how much and what you eat makes a bigger difference. (I was on Weight Watchers a long time ago.) Most sodas, snack and fast food meals are very high in fats, sugars, and carbohydrates - not to mention too high in salt for good health. If you were told not to eat foods like that and were handed a plate of healthy low calorie food then they were actually right. Weight loss, if you are unhealthily overweight, is good for your health if you do it the right way which is slow but steady. It’s more effective if you find a diet, a plan, or a nutritionist that helps you make the right choices and when the motivation comes from inside you. You are the only person who is with you 24/7. It’s not easy because unlike an alcoholic, or smoker for example, you must eat to live whereas once they are past the withdrawal they don’t have to partake of their addiction to live. But it is possible to improve your health and life with a plan and some willpower. I wish you luck and good health.

I would seek professional help. It sounds like your relationship with food is based on others judgment
