Today, I overheard my ripped, handsome, genetically perfect brother telling my mom how "fat people" make him "nervous". I have only recently accepted my weight, after struggling for years. I now understand why my brother rarely talks to me. FML

don't let your brother get you down, OP. if you want to lose weight, do so for you.

I think you should approach him and ask him about his reasons for avoiding you. Don't assume it is because of your weight. You might be mistaken, and it could make you more insecure about your body.

Watch karma get him, with "fat" offsprings or worse, falling inlove with someone he thinks is fat.

I feel you, my brother's athletically gifted and has a body to go with his talent. I've not been given any of this talent and I'm a little on the chubby side- forever jealous of him

That's a weird thing to be nervous about.

As a "contently chubby" person and as someone who enjoys a good sibling rivalry, I'd so torture my brother if I heard him say something like this. Sneak into his bedroom at night wearing a lobster bib, fork and knife in hand, and whisper "Ahm gonnae eat ye..." repeatedly in your best Fat Bastard brogue.

How big are you. This is quite important for me to make a judgement. If you are like 150kg and say you've tried, you haven't. But if you are like 90 I would have some sympathy. Too little information, OP.

Him being ripped and you being fat has nothing to do with genetics, because you have the same genes. It has to do with him taking care of himself and you... not doing that.

Brothers aren't identical, you nut. Two brothers can be very different...

Unless they're identical twins, they aren't going to be exactly the same. Siblings can be very different.

Don't say he has perfect genetics, because you have the same genetics, he has just spent time and effort into his physique, maybe you should do the same

Clearly your brother has some deeper-lying insecurities that really have nothing to do with you or your weight, no matter how he phrases it. I really hope the rest of your family isn't like that.

Not trying to be rude or anything. Lose some weight. It's not even that hard. Eat right - cut out meat, dairy, eggs, high fat foods and soft drink. Eat more fruit, rice, potatoes, vegetables etc. Make sure you eat enough calories from good carbs and hey presto! Weight loss. Exercise will help too

So don't eat anything but lettuce? Sure. Diets are fine if you plan to keep it up for the whole of your life. It's not about cutting out food, it's about portion size and controlling what you eat and how much of it you eat. Eat less, move more. You can still have a cheeseburger, just have one once a week instead of every day.

Are you an idiot? Meat or other similar animal products are the best source of protein. You're suggesting an extreme vegetarian diet, which in most cases requires supplements because it is not the natural human diet. Cutting essential nutrients out of your diet is not a weight loss plan, it's starvation. Yes, you can get proteins from plants, but very very few plants offer all the essentials that are found in animal flesh. Weight loss is not a matter of cutting things out - portioning and maintaining some level of physical activity (no, you don't need to run and do push-ups every day to do this, contrary to popular belief) is the way to go.

Cutting down on fatty and sugary foods and drinks is good but cutting out meats, eggs and diary isn't a very good idea unless someone plans to be vegetarian or vegan. Vegetarians are as healthy or even healthier than people who eat meat, though being vegan doesn't seem very healthy to me. Plus, some fats are actually good for you. Ex: donuts (bad fats), peanut butter (good fats)
