Hello Im an 18F and I am trying to lose weight. I am 5’7 150lbs and I would like to be 140lbs because I feel as if it would be beneficial for my health. However I have one issue, my family won’t let me lose weight. I remember as a little girl I would constantly get bullied by family and friends for being very overweight however I have lost a lot of it. That took a big toll on my mental health as I felt insecure and worthless from the pervasive comments for being too fat. Mind you I was only 8-12 years old when I got these comments. Now my mom will not allow me to lose weight because she has this irrational fear of anorexia and eating disorders. I am tired of being on the chubby side and I want to be able to run a mile under 10 mins. My mom will not allow me to cook my own food. She purposely buys my favorite unhealthy snacks knowing that I will eventually eat it. I tried to the trick of eating half the portion size but my mom pours more onto my plate and called me a “bitch” for not finishing it. She keeps yelling at me to the point of tears to not lose weight. I just turned 18 and Im in college so I cannot move out. I try to go and exercise and go on hikes but I am not allowed to go more than once a week. They get happy when I actually sit down and eat oily and fatty foods with them. Don’t take this post the wrong way I love my mother and I know she wants the best from me but my entire family has also become overweight. I had even hit 149 but I ended up going back up to 151 after I felt so bad for losing weight, my mother yelled at me, so I ate my feelings away. What do I do? Should I wait until I transfer to a 4 year university when I am 20? I am so extremely frustrated and tired. I want to lose weight!
