Constant nagging about weight from parents or relatives?

[zhudeet1]

Is there anyone out there (teenagers/adults) who receive constant nagging and or insults from parents or relatives? How do you deal with it. I've been dealing with this for the past maybe 4 months, and have had a hard time dealing with it. And is there anyone out there who nags someone about their weight (whats inside your mind when you're doing it). I just want to hear from both sides.

Last night my dad said I looked 7 times bigger than last week and that I was fat, I went in my room pissed off the whole night, ruined the next morning. (I'm 17)

Personally I think that the constant nagging about weight isn't appropriate for someone who has weight issues, perhaps a sensible conversation. Or am I just to sensitive? Or does all the negativity lead to more motivation.

I'm sorry you're going through what you're going through. Insults are completely uncalled for as far as I'm concerned. I would never do that to one of my children. Don't for a second start to believe that you are too sensitive. I've known many people that believe that they are "helping" by doing things of that nature, but I've personally never understood it. I hope that you will stick around the forum. Maybe start a diary in the diary section. You can use it to keep track of food, exercise, or simply use it to vent your frustrations. I do that a lot in mine. lol. Welcome to the forum! Good luck to you! (((hugs)))

My family is mostly supportive, though sometimes there are good-natured quips about me being overweight.
Since they aren't meant in a negative way, I don't take them as such. After all, they are right, I'm too damn heavy.

i dont think you are too sensitive, weight is a sensitive topic for alot of people and its understandable. Perhaps your family has your best interests at heart but they are going about it the wrong way!!
Those comments do hurt but as I have been told you've just got to work hard and prove em wrong (easy to say i know but little by little you will get there!!)


dont give up you can do it!
