I’m so annoyed. My parents have a problem with me going to the gym. I don’t do drugs. I was obese my entire childhood. I’ve lost 46lbs, I would like to lose 15-30 more. I’m so close to my goal just let me spend a lot of time in the gym until then

You’re an adult. Your dad shouldn’t throwing a fuss over your mom offering her vehicle to you. The fact he also declined to drop you off is silly.

Ugh my parents were the same way for a while. Just try your best to show them the gym is a non-negotiable for you, and if you can trim down your routine to 1.5-2 hours. Eventually they’ll accept it.

girl they’re jealous they aren’t bettering themselves. Keep going!! I’m proud of you! You’re absolutely beautiful and don’t let them get to you. My parents do the same thing with me as well and I’ve learned to just shut them out. If you don’t learn how to ignore their complaints it’ll be hard to ever be happy and ignore other people’s complaints

Sounds like they might want to maintain some control over you. If this is mostly due to the car issue and they aren’t budging with negotiating a solution, you might just have to skip the gym until you get your car back. You are clearly dedicated and committed to losing weight, so a break wouldn’t cause you to lose that progress and you can get right back to it as soon as you have your car back

Cuz it takes me 2-2.5 hrs at the gym every day and they want me home all the time. Like today my dad is annoyed that there won’t be a car at home for his convenience because he sent mine out for repairs and I’m using my moms. The man is a deadbeat he would’ve been home anyways. I offered to be dropped off and they said no

It sounds like you’ve been working really hard to reach your goal. Don’t let their comments get in your way and do what is best for you
