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

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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
Today, my parents came for a visit and spent the whole time pressuring me to ask my doctor for medication to lose weight. FML
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 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, 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 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 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'm so skinny that I was told to, “Eat a burger.” While I was eating a burger. FML

Depending on how old you are, this could be a health issue, or just a social issue. If you are old enough and capable of doing so, get a job and buy balanced food. If you are not old enough, this could be dangerous and maybe you should talk to your doctor. Depending on their health issues as well, as a person struggling to get my own health in order, sometimes having unhealthy food in the fridge causes me to struggle with self control, and sometimes I cave and eat crap I KNOW is bad for me because it is there. You also need to respect their health goals and they may not be able to cope with living healthy life styles when there is constant temptation. If you can get a job, maybe discuss getting a small fridge in your personal space just for your food. Alternatively you could move into your own space and have complete control over your diet and lifestyle. It’s a hard one I know.

I guess they don't understand that a balanced diet would make you strong so you could fend for yourself and fight the bullies off. Some parents are impossible.

Are your parents fat? Is that why that's all they buy?
