I’m 19 and fat. I come from a family of fat people. If just a fact of life. My stepsiblings though have been given a quick metabolism (along with overactive thyroid for my stepsister). The thing is my stepmom is not a little woman either, and she had never once brought up my weight. My dad though, bigger than me or anyone, has to always “remind me” that there’s three other people in the house that eat too whenever I go and fix myself a dinner plate.

It doesn’t matter if he knows I haven’t ate anything the entire day or that my stepsiblings piling more food on than me if I’m eating dinner than I must be eating more than everyone else.
