Dieting is depressing. I don't even really want to diet but my mom says I gotta because I have to lose weight by the time I start school in March, she's even forcing me to buy new clothes with my money. I have to starve myself, swallow down my cravings. Force taste-less oatmeal down my throat. I hate it. I wish we had the money to just BUY NEW CLOTHES THAT FIT ME instead, but when I brought it up, Mom just gave me a lecture. I hate that my mother is in charge of how much I eat. I hate that despite being 20 already, I still have no control

@Clover543isBored Can't relate, I have an ed. Wish my family was so open with the losing weight topic, I even had to buy myself a SCALE in secret!! Off-topic, sorry, i didn't want to make this abt me. I feel so sorry for you tho, being forced to lose weight and swallow down your cravings is depressing, stressful and completely WILD for a parent to do to their children.

@Clover543isBored Damn... Like, I'm a Mom to a 6 year old boy and a 9 year old girl. My girl is very picky eater (possibly has a disorder known as ARFID) and all I ask of her is to try something new every now and then. Otherwise, I have no issues in what she eats as long as she gets something in her tummy. It's other people that harp in how she NEEDS to eat this and that, can't have this and that, and is too skinny, or will be fat if she eats nothing but junk. Because of this, she is starting a complex where she thinks she is unhealthy or fat because of what a close friend keeps saying about her. All I try to do is remind my girl that SHE is in control in what she eats, what goes on her plate and what she doesn't like. ...I wish a lot of people would stop harping on others about the stuff they eat. Whether if they "need" to lose weight, gain weight or whatever.
