I hit puberty early and was always husky/chubby. I was a thicc boy at 13. My dad thought calling me “manchild” was hilarious, even when I asked him to stop
I was incentivized by my parents to exercise as part of my chores for weekly allowance. 4th grade
Did every diet my parents did. 10 years old on Slimfast cans, nutrisystem meals, atkins. I was only allowed to drink skim milk
Always the sensitive one who never allowed anyone to joke (at my expense of course)
When I was 18 I was getting fitted for a tuxedo with my dad and he kept asking me to pull my shirt up to show him my stomach. I feel like he wanted to see my stretch marks and it made me all kinds of uncomfortable
I had an idyllic upper middle class childhood so for the longest time I tried to be grateful to my parents for providing for me (money and tangible things)
I’m LC with both parents now. They don’t understand, but it’s not my job to help them in that area.
