My (22F) dad keeps putting me down and making comments about my weight
In January of this year, I started eating healthier and battling my night time binge eating by doing a low carb diet. Since January 5th, I have lost 28 pounds (SW: 225.6 lbs and CW: 197.6 lbs - 22 F, 5'9).
I was really proud of myself for finally battling my disordered eating, which stemmed basically from my childhood and how my parents always called me fat growing up. I have, on many occasions, done very extreme dieting when I was younger, to lose weight (2 extreme diets where I lost 40+ pounds in 2 months). However, I gained all that weight back because it wasn't sustainable.That is why this time I am trying to take it slow and steady. I recognize that I have a lot to lose and that I could have lost more in the past months but I want to take it slow and also, I broke my ankle in February which set me back because I was on bed rest.
I was really proud of myself for losing 28 pounds since January of this year until today. My dad basically told me I wasn't losing weight fast enough and that I should be doing more because I am still fat. I was really hurt so I left the conversation halfway through. After I left, I overheard him basically telling my mom to go talk sense into me and that at this rate, I will be obese forever. He said I was basically hopeless.
All I want to do right now is cry, I feel really crushed. I was finally in a good mindset about healthy eating and my weight loss journey but I am feeling extremely hurt right now.
How can I deal with this? Thanks guys.
