Question by Happily ever after: My dad’s into this idea of a “proper meal”? Who’s wrong?
I Eat healthy. I know that I snack but I’m really skinny (5’5.5 32D
Here’s the thing. My parents, especially my dad, think that I’m bulimic because they see me eat but I neither gain weight or exercise.
My doctor says that I’m going to be 6feet tall.
So now my dad keeps being really mean and my parents are forcing me to eat. Eg. Today we went to this restaurant and i ordered cheesecake a la mode. My dad made them add whip. I abhor whip.
My brother ate half. I got a seven inch slice (it was a diner) and couldn’t finish. My dad made me eat the whole thing. I feel like I’m going to throw up and I have a terrible migrane. And he kept complaining about how I didn’t eat enough and that my brother had a proper breakfast and I didnt which is so untrue because I ate my two cream cheese filled muffins, two eggs, some lox, a dish of home fries, and some bacon, whereas my brother had two slices of toast with jam, and like half a cup of home fries with ketchup and salt.
I know that my ribs are visible and my thigh gap is huge but I have a chest and a butt and I eat a lot. I just eat different foods. (eggs, milk, yogurt, nuts, seeds, olive oil, whole grains, vegetables, fruits) I don’t eat red meat but I eat lots of seafood. I just hate red meat.
So I’m mad and confused. I’m not anorexic. I eat two breakfasts (home, at school with friends) two lunches (with friends at school and then with my mum when I get home), dinner with the family, and then desserts. Plus I eat snacks throughout the day (salads, rice, nuts, carrots, chicken, lomein, etc)
Why can’t my dad just let me be? Who’s wrong?
Ps. I’m sixteen and he’s my stepdad from forev
My birth dad was always super thin. His ribs were always prominent even though he ate like a pizza pie every day. I got his family body- big chested, super super thin but curvy. My mums family is thin too. My older cousin is six feet of muscle and bone. He left when I was little but I knew his family and they were all super thin. My stepsister has a totally different body from me. She calls me anorexic. She lives apart but wheneer she visits she makes me eat more.
I’m 125 lbs. Normal weight. And my dad didn’t force force me. He said we weren’t leaving until I finished my cake. It was gross.
I’ve been tested for crohns, diabetes, thyroid problems, all negative.

He is wrong for forcing you to eat until you feel sick, based on what you have told me. I take your word that you do not have an eating disorder.
Of course, being too thin can be a health risk. Sounds like you have been to the doctor, so apparently nothing is wrong. Maybe you are just going to be a skinny girl.
Try to see your step dads point though. Lots of teenage girls have eating problems. (my cousin went through that- very scary) he is probably really worried about you and is trying to help the only way he knows.
While you are thinking about it, go have something fattening. Sounds like it wont hurt you any. Lucky.
