[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This article really spoke to me. I am in my 40s and my parents live in Europe. I see them once a year. 3 months or so before seeing them, I starve myself because I don’t want to deal with “you will get diabetes, you gained weight, you make enough to have a personal trainer, you have such a beautiful face if only your body was in better shape”. This cycle has been going on for almost 25 year since I left for college and moved away. I am realizing that a lot of my weight problems stem from the fact that I lose a lot to appease my parents and then regain more once I don’t see them. [/quote] My mom is similar. My dad he never says anything negative. And I'm not fat! 1) their family doesn't get comfort from food (seemed liked a jab at me) 2) you look so good! (when I'm 114# rather than 125) 3) He (describing an 8 year old) is the one who looks a little chunky. (expressing concern about him) 4) Are you getting a little chubby? (directed at me whenever I'm not #114) I'm not fat, normal BMI. But I'm predisposed to thinking I'm fat unless I'm 114#. In fact, even then, because my mom has bird bones.[/quote]
