[Halibut]

OK so im not over weight or anything. i have a bit of a stomache but im not over weight! i have been trying to loose like 10 pounds because that would be perfect so i have been eating healthier and such. so for lunch i had a piece of toast with nutella and a teaspoon of peanut butter and i told my dad it was erally good and he said oh well its not the healthyest and its all i had for lunch and it was 200 calories.( i dont count them but i looked it up after he said that) and so i went to talk to him about it becaue on the rare occasion i do have a treat he always says something about it!!!! so i confronted him about it and i told him it hurt my feelings and he said i was over reacting and i know i did abit. but i admited to over reacting but i told him i was just telling him how i felt right now and its really hurting me and i have told him to stop before . yet he still says it does not matter and he wont stop telling me that when he feels that way. i ended up crying and it really hurts . i mean he had more calories this morning then me...but thats not the point..its really hurting me...and makes me feel like i should just stop eating alltogeather. help...please :(

Chill chill chillllll


You can't let one stuipd comment get to you like that, first off. second, hun you didn't eat enough -- if you don't eat you'll start storing whatever you do eat.

ok. breath. Don't take a drastic measuere like that

I understand why it does hurt sweetie.
But you can't one person saying one stupid thing make you self concious about your weight.
My dad does it all the time, putting me down and making me feel crap about myself.
You need to ignore people who make mean comments.
You don't eat enough by the sounds of it, and instead of having toast with nutella and peanut butter, you should have a sandwich. You really do need to eat more than you are at the moment and try to forget the comments, forget you self conciousness and try to make yourself more healthy.
But don't stop eating altogether, thats the worse thing you could do.
If you need anyone to talk to, i'll be happy to help, and i think everyone else would too.

From what I see in your photo. You're beautiful.

But right now, body image is concerning you. At time it may be healthy and at times it's not safe. Right now it seems to be affecting you emotionally and mentally. I mean it's great that you took initiative to change your physical image. Which I'm very happy for you. But everyone does this "diet" thing differently. For some it may be to the extent of eating a 50 calorie chocolate 3 times a day and nothing else. [Highly unhealthy, and in cases will gain the body fat quickly once you stop that regimen].

All I cn say is, don't mind what others have to say, it may be hard for it's your dad saying it all. But don't stop eating altogether. Also if a situation like this arises again when you get depressed or hurt. Think! Think about all the good things about you. Like:

-I love my hair
-My eyes are a great shade
-I have a great fashion sense
-I have a good complexion


So much more I bet you can think off.


I wish you happy days and good eating.
