Hiding

I was having a great day until my parents started fat shaming me.

I'm not even fat. Maybe a little overweight but that's just because of my body type.

My mom had the audacity to say that she could say that because she was the same way as a teenager. "fat".

She's extremely skinny now, so it's even less fair for her to say this.

Even though I pretend to be happy and confident in my appearance, I'm not.

It hurts hearing your own mom call you fat/overweight.

And it hurts even more when even though I already eat tiny portions of very healthy food, she tells me I eat too much and nothing healthy.

I can't magically become supermodel skinny.

It just won't work out.

Even though girls my age and height are supposed to be 105 pounds, I never will be that little. 

Not even close.

And knowing that I have the rest of my life to deal with the fat-shaming from my parents is hard. 

It really is.

And I don't know how to escape it.


I mean, that's obvious, as I am currently hiding in the bathroom with "cramps".


I really hate my life sometimes.
