Welcome to Gaia! ::

Okay so here it is. I have to lose weight I know this I'm tryign I've lost about 5 or 6 pounds in the last two months which isn't alot I know but my dad says "You know you're too fat you have to lose weight " *no duh* I say I have been losign weight I fit into a shirt and pair of pants that I didn't two onths ago. "how mush have you lost?" 5 or 6 pounds" That's nothing I lose 5 pounds shuveling snow that's water weight you're not trying hard enough and you fat." okay first of all Let me just point out that my dad is an insecitve p***k with no count for others feelings and second it's harder for women to lose weight like that. Even my mum said he was wrong and every women I know I've told that to and they said they'ed like to weigh him before and after he shovels snow. He thinks it's easy to lose weight cause he's lost 20 pounds good for him I'm happy that he did but not everyone can lose that much the same way he did. and he's just rude about it when he tells me to lose weight. ya cause him calling me fat really helps my self confidence. stressed He's just a p***k like that. Anyway sorry for ranting I just had to get it out. redface

Update-

So I just wanted to thank evryone for being so suportive. And I wanted to say that I have thus far in the last two months succeded in lossing 15 pounds. Down to 280 from 300. And it seems that my dad actually knows how to shut his mouth when I'm lossing more wieght than he is now. He has not been on my case once since I told him that.

I have given up trying to be skinny casue I know I never will be, I'm just not built for it. I rather I am now just trying to get down to a healthy wieght for me and maybe be able to fit into my old clothes again. wink

Thanks again!

Thank you someone who understands. My dad is such and a**. Oh well This sound harsh but I'm just waiting for the day he falls off the cliff and leaves me with a s**t load of insurance money. LIek he should have don't when he had his accitent 8 years ago. but no he had to stick around and foce me into a whole so deep it's taken me four years to get half way out then he just kicks you a 100 feet lower than you were to begin with. not to mention the shite he's put my mum through. anyway thanks for your suprot. It means a lot. 3nodding

I would like to make a correction, it's 4 pounds a month is the healthy weight loss.
Anything faster than that is unhealthy.

Oh and your dad sucks.
If he put your mother through crap you have to know that he is an a** to begin with. rolleyes
Lossing weight should be for yourself.
If you are happy with your weight then, you should keep it.
(I think you dad has to feel better by trying to diss some one "below" him, though your not really below him.)

Thanks guys. (Is it wrong that I'm already planing what I'm going to do with his money when he dies lol. Just joking. But really lol) twisted

Woo-hoo! Congrats! ^__^

You've actually managed to humiliate/comeback/burn your dad through sheer positive progress. That must have taken a lot of effort, time, and pain-breaking willpower.

We're proud of you, and glad to have given you support.
