When my parents know full well what I’m trying to do and then guilt trip me when I don’t want to eat the dinner they made, which is about 900 calories per serving of pure fat and not an ounce of protein in sight

Or when you open the fridge at 8 PM only to realize there isn’t a single ounce of protein in your parent’s entire house.

I started buying my own food cause my parents say the healthy food I want is too expensive and no one else will eat it. But then once I buy it and tell my family not to touch it cause it’s mine they will still eat it anyway

“Too expensive” bitch my grocery budget at school is $40 a week and I eat varied meals that taste great. There’s like 90 different things you can make with chicken, rice, and seasoning if you have an ounce of creativity. They did the same thing to me until i started crashing out when my shit got touched.

Like you can eat anything but I’m limited to the food I can eat. But if I’m upset that they can’t keep their paws off some food they I’m unreasonable. Like you just ate the food that I planned to eat for the whole week in one sitting

I seriously cannot wait for school to be back. I’ve never made better gains than I do in school because I don’t have a house full of people breathing down my neck and directly affecting what I can do. I’m not even asking for a lot, just don’t eat my shit, and I need 2 hours, 4 days a week to hit the gym. I’ll help out with whatever the fuck else, just give me that, but they act like that’s asking a lot.

Anonymous replying to -> #11 13w

It’s a disorder because someone cares about their body and avoids a toxic food environment? I love my family, but I am literally the only member of my family who is not morbidly obese (used to be) and trying to be around them when food is involved is never a good idea for me. Maybe we need to stop labeling the people that want to be healthy as having a disorder, and we should label the people who don’t give a fuck about their health as the ones with a disorder.

They went to their parent’s house for Father’s Day. That kind of thing literally only happens once a year and if you over eat for one weekend that’s literally nothing in the grand scheme of things. There will come a time when our parents pass away and we won’t be able to spend holidays with them, so who gives a rats ass if you overeat on Father’s Day or Christmas or whatever. Eat a little less the next couple days if it means that much pretty simple

Like oh my God, it genuinely pisses me off how you can be so dismissive of somebody else’s goals. You’ll tell them 100 times and they will always act like it isn’t a big deal. Literally the other day my mom came back with a large chocolate shake from Dairy Queen for me, and was passive aggressive the entire day when I said no thank you.

tbh the nerve of anyone to dismiss your work and decide for you that it’s okay to skip one day. Like seriously, fuck off. Whether or not the gym is skippable is my decision, and your plans aren’t more important than that.

Cool bro. I solve the issues too. Complaining about something that is relatable and kinda funny is a good way to relate to others. It’s not that serious bud, I’m sure you’re a ton of fun at parties.
