family frustration.

I am extremely frustrated with my family, my mom in particular. My mom is under the theory that watching my weight = anorexia. Going to the gym = anorexia. Refusing to eat fatty foods = anorexia. 

I ended up yelling at her today because she started to go on one of the rants about how I don’t eat and I said, “What don’t I eat?! I eat fruits and veggies,” to which she says, “But they’re not enough,” and I replied, “I eat protein and breads. I eat a lot of bread. What else is there to eat?!” 

No answer. 

To give everyone an idea, I’m 5’8.5 and 144 pounds. My goal weight is 130-135. It depends how I look at 135. I’m not underweight at all.

I’m starting to feel like I have to move out in order to accomplish my weight loss goals without being under heavy scrutiny, and that makes me really frustrated. 

Does anyone else have experience with this? How did you cope?

  2. dontyougogleme answered: I do, My only solution was avoiding thight clothes when I’m around my parents and saying that I excercise less than I do. Hope this helps!

  4. rogueofthecraft answered: It might be because your Mom is jealous…. Out families often have a hard time when you begin to change, and so try to reverse it.
