I am overweight by about 40 pounds. I am usually happy in my own skin but my parents want me to lose the weight. I personally like the social filter of my weight. If you don’t want to be my friend just because i’m fat, I don’t want to be your friend. My parents always say that I will end up alone because of my weight. I eat when I feel three emotions- angry, sad and stressed. Them pressuring me to lose the weight makes me feel all three and makes me eat more. I have considered throwing up my food to be skinny but I have lots of health concerns. I don’t expect anyone reading this to do anything about it or comment but I need to tell someone and I don’t trust anyone enough to tell.
