Eating in front of my dad

Everytime I eat in front of my dad like a snack even if its healthy I feel guilty. its because he is always telling me to eat healthy and to watch what I eat. and if I eat something that he thinks isnt healthy I get a long lecture on how bad it can be and how I cant eat like that for long because I could get fat if I ate it when im older. stuff like that. He is obsessed with his own weight and staying healthy and my doctor says im healthy and I am 5ft ,2 in. 125 pounds everyone says im fine and look good and says im skinny but my dad makes me feel fat and sometimes I wont eat breakfast or lunch because of the stuff he says. What should I do???

Answer #1

talk to him. tell him the food that you choose to eat goes in YOUR body, not his. I’m not a real healthy eater, but I’m 15 & 120 pounds. That’s not bad at all.

Answer #2

wow. um first of all your dad sounds like a huge health person and that can be a bad or good thing, but you need to eat meals. if you dont eat and you pretty much starve yourself you will gain more weight. Your body eats itself if you starve so you still need to eat. 125 isnt big at all so you have no reason to feel you are fat. if your hungry you should eat. just dont overeat and you should be fine. my sister eats junk food all the time and is the healthiest and skinniest person ever. lol. she just excercises and eats smaller portions.
