Description
This can be my own, a friend's, or a fellow deviant's.
The person would like to add: "My parents keep telling me I'm fat and I should lose weight, even though they know I've suffered from an eating disorder and am still having trouble dealing with food in a healthy way. They get mad when they find out I'm losing weight the unhealthy way, but I really can't help it. I don't have the strength to fight two wars at the same time."
Please take into consideration, that some of these secrets contain sensitive issues, so please choose your words carefully. I will not disable the comments, because what someone has to say, may help another.
Additionally, take the time to really understand the piece. See it. Feel it. Live it.

I love the composition of this piece. The blue tones of colour help capture the emotions associated with it and the different fonts, in a certain light, could represent the different people speaking up about this common problem in todayβs society. Β
Most of the time, a responsible adult can help you with these problems and self-confidence is an important factor in keeping yourself healthy. I am no expert, truth be told; these are just some tips I picked up from my keyworkers. Doctors can give you an honest opinion and being healthy goes up and down and sometimes it can take a long time to get to where you would like to be. The obstacles in life can be represented as hills, which you may have to try and climb up again and again until the specific goal is reached. As long as you are happy with yourself, that is most important. (According to my dearest mother). Β Β

Sister tells me to not to starve, mother says to just lose the damn weight, friend tells me it's easy. But my heart, and brain, they tell me I can't fucking do it, or I pass out or black out. And I've just been able to go to the beach and not pass out. Or have Gym and be able to breath afterwards. I Don't really want to go back to there.
I hit a dangerous point just today trying to lose weight.
Never go 3.5 miles per hour on a treadmill if you black out a lot and your heart beats fast as hell.

That's harsh and insensitive of them...don't let it get to you..fight this battle at your own pace and if it means putting on weight to get over the disorder then do so...no need to start hurting your body because they're pressurizing you.

If I ever skip a meal my parents think I'm starving myself, and when I was 10 my mum asked me if I was pregnant. I'm not even fat, I'm NORMAL, but no one understands that.

how could you be pregnant at ten? yah I know but....*shakes head*

I know, it's crazy. I'm 13 now and I'm still not allowed to go out with guys and I didn't have my period until I was 11. Pregnant at 10 would be crazy.

Because..... I don't know. I'm just not very.... likeable. And I'm not really pretty, and I don't have many friends, and I don't really get along with people. And I'm paranoid. And obsessive. You get the idea.....

Ahhh. I had the same situation, my mom would always say, "We should lose weight together!" It disgusted me. Then I s tarted starving myself and purging. I got so many compliments on how I look(ed). It felt so great D':

*sorry, I just read the date on this comment, I'm a bit late

I did that too for a few months last year because I got depressed with my appearance and lost a few stone (I tell people two, but it was three and a half) and everyone was telling me how good I looked. I miss it. =/ (Don't get me wrong, I am actually overweight, I was bordering obese before and I've put a fucking stone back on.) I even told my boyfriend recently that I respected how he doesn't deny it when I mention that I'm fat or overweight (because I lose trust in people when they do), but I wish I was thinner to make it so much easier. No one I know REALLY knows how depressed I get when I sit and think of my appearance, despite the jokes I make.
Sorry, went off on a rant

I don't mean to encourage anyone. I wouldn't want anyone to go through what I'm going through. I just wanted to tell a part of my story.

i know what you mean, its hard when your parents say it-my grandpa hugged me once and he said i need to lose weight
im actually at thr right size for my height and he bugs me all the time
you just have to shrug it off and try to be yourself and be healthy

stupid parents. they just don't understand.

eating healthy sucks for the most part
but if you find healthy foods that you like, just stick with those :]
i find it a lot easier to eat better that way...especially when it come to fruit

Your parents sound like assholes. They should maybe think of encouraging you to stick to a diet rather than call you fat and expect you to deal with it yourself.
π: 0 β©: 0
Losing weight is the hardest thing ever. And doing it the right way is killer. I know how it feels to have my parents joke/tell me that I'm fat and that I should go on a diet. It's harsh and I've cried over it. Stay strong and be who you are!

Wow. That's really harsh of them, even -without- an eating disorder.
