My father

My dad had a New Years resolution to get healthier and get a diet. This wasn’t an issue until he enforced these rules on me and my sisters who are all pretty skinny. Whenever we would eat “unhealthy” foods he would say things like “ that’s real healthy” and “all you ever eat is sugar”. Eventually I stopped feeling hungry and would feel grossed out by the thought of eating and I still do. I still love my father because of everything he does for my family but my self esteem has depleted even more. This was only me venting and I would appreciate some advice. Thank You.

I hate to hear that you are struggling with food and with feeling like this is partly from an imposed diet that your father wanted you to join him on.  I'm glad you've posted.

What concerns do you have for you and your lack of eating at this point?  How has this eating change impacted your relationship with your father?  Are you able to share your thoughts on how you feel about it and now on eating with him?  What could you share with him about how it has impacted your self-esteem?
