Hi y’all. Hope ur well. I’m frustrated, angry, and in a down mood today. I gained weight during the pandemic and parents have noticed. My harshest critic is my mom. She always give a look and goes “man ur belly is BIG. Dad’s belly isn’t as big as yours”. I hate clothes shopping when I’m with her or trying on new clothes.
Sometimes she goes “no girl wants to be with someone your shape unless you lose the weight”. Just disheartening comments time after time. She always goes back to saying diabetes is in the family and that losing weight is a priority.
For context, I’m 5’6 and currently 228. Fluctuate between 228-235 during the day. I tried everything to appease my parents. In a previous post a long time ago, I went to my doctors office to do this weight loss where they expect to lose 2 pounds every week while eating 1,200 calories and taking appetite suppressants. Surprise, it didn’t work and I had to fudge numbers showing I “lost weight” (when I actually didn’t) during my weekly check ins. Didn’t help when the counselor didn’t give me guidance as they said they would for nutrition and all.
I got off the program and took a break from dieting and tried nutrisystem. Not much help but I wasn’t gaining weight. But now, I feel I want to get back into weight loss but at the same time I feel it’s for all the wrong reasons.
The biggest reason is to make my mom shut the fuck up and leave me alone. It’s gotten to the point, where I’m a little anxious about food when I’m around her. Any amount I take it’s “overeating” in her eyes. I don’t know why she’s comparing her metabolism to mine especially when I’m in my early 30s and she is in her 60s.
I have been diagnosed with sleep apnea and have been tired all the time. My sleep doctor says my apnea could go away if I lose weight but I’m struggling to lose the pounds.
I do bike about 2 times a week for 30-45 mins each session and walk 4 miles a day.
For my diet, I haven’t had soda or ice cream in months so I cut most junk food out. I would have a cookie or two here and there but mainly it. I see my parents having dessert daily and it’s not fun. I always prioritize having protein in my meal. I try to aim for filling foods. My biggest problems are snacking after lunch and dinner.
I’m sorry for sounding a whole mess but dealing with my parents about my weight has gotten me fucked up. I told them to leave me alone but they never do. It’s all they talk about. If anyone has any words of encouragement or tips to help with my weight or my parents I would appreciate it.
