Toxic

Today, I had to sit through yet another one of my mom's, "You need to grow and gain some weight!" rants. I'm 22 and she doesn't believe me when I tell her I'm done growing. I'm pretty sure I'm not getting past 5'2". FML

Today, my mum was saying she needs to gain weight because she was underweight according to her doctor. She then said she's going to eat like me in order to gain more weight. FML

Today, while at my mom’s house, my mom told me that I need to seriously curb my food intake. Then I went to my dad’s house and he told me I need to gain weight. I can’t win here. FML

Today, after I skipped dessert for the third day in a row, my mom cornered me and accused me of being anorexic. I'm actually not far off being clinically obese and I'm just trying to diet, but nothing I say will convince her. She wants me to see a psychiatrist about a disorder I don't even have. FML

My body, my choice

Today, I had to sit and listen in mortification as my mother tearfully told our therapist how much sleep she loses over my being morbidly obese. She doesn't seem to care that I'm body positive and happy with the way I am. FML

Today, I weighed myself. When I was fifteen, my mom yelled at me, saying that I was going to end up being 200 pounds by the time I was forty. Well, mom, you're wrong. At this rate I'll be 200 pounds by the time I'm twenty. FML

Today, my aunt said that it looked like I lost some weight. I was pleased with this, since I've been trying to lose some. My mom, for some reason, thought it was insulting. She pulled me to aside to assure me that I most definitely don't look any skinnier. FML

Today, I'm staying with my mother for a week. Every time I eat something, she tells me that it's "swimsuit season" and that I need to eat less. Every time I say I'm not hungry, she panics and insists I have an eating disorder. I can't win. FML

Eat Y'self Fitter

Today, my patient, a chubby little girl, stood on a scale to measure her weight. She was 5 years-old and weighed 65 lbs. I started giving her advice on eating healthy: fruits, vegetables, and more greens. She turned to her mother with shocked look and said, "But mommy, the doctor is fat too!" FML

At that height, you do not need to gain any weight.

Actually, #101 could gain 20-25 pounds and still have a normal BMI. Even being a little overweight is fine as long as you maintain a healthy lifestyle.

Actually, I had a small growth spurt somewhere between 22-25. I gained a whole inch. I'm 5'3" now. :) Which makes me taller than my mom!

Atleast you are taller than I was when I stopped growing. On the bright side, you are tall enough that you aren't considered a munchkin.

I'm 22 and 5'5", the short jokes have finally stopped in my family but they all still tell me to "eat a cookie" when they see me. It gets old but don't let it get you down OP. Hopefully they'll get bored of it eventually.

I get told to "eat a cheeseburger" by my family. I'm just under 5'2" and 119 lbs. I think that's a perfectly fine size, but my entire family is overweight and they want me to join them.

Short and proud! I'm only 5'0, 110 lbs and love it, for the most part. Tall girls bother me when they pat my head and say I'm cute, other than that it's fun haha. Heels give you the option for being taller! Tall girls can't be any shorter
