I read a story where a young girl (13) decided to lose weight but she did it by eating lots of special health foods. It got a bit obsessive and was quite expensive shopping for her mum, her dad found out, called the girl an 'ungrateful spoiled brat who gets special food because we're not gpod enough for her' when she asked not to eat dessert. He proceeded to start shoving cookies ice cream and chip dip on her plate during dinner (tea) and making her eat it all while he watched. Is her father being unreasonable? Imo yes

One of my friends is anorexic and has severe eating disorders. The damage it has done to her body, her mind, and her family and friends is huge, and if the father wants to counteract that by forcing her to eat more, then fine by me, it is a little price to pay for what could potentially happen.
No one should be forced to eat something they don't want to. No one would ever force me to eat something I disliked.
i dont think that's fair, what if someone really doesnt like vegetables? they still have to get them in somehow. you cant just feed kids on what they like.
He only changed his gender on here to female a few weeks ago, for the rest of his time he was male.
Maybe his issues are similar and that's how he found this yahoo question?
I came to the site with disordered eating tendencies and anxieties/obsessions around food, diet and exercise (arguably the ED 'orthorexia'), panic attacks and sleep issues. A lot of time thinking I had heart disease (turns out I have an irregular, but benign heart problem).
These crept into my student experience (I had a limited social life/my social anxiety was pronounced because of them) and significantly shaped my last r'ship. Most of my Fitness posts are basically 'feel bad about not eating this slice of cake/going to the gym because it might upset Mum/Dad does that.make me beta?' Lol. But believe me it took.up a LOT of headspace.Then my experience with stigma led to me becoming social justice warrior, then into the gender wars with obsessions around 'alpha males' etc. which resulted in some bitter sexist paranoia and deconstructing the men's rights movement which justified that has been my primary obsession since my breakup in January.
I.changed sig pre ban but that should have happened 2 weeks ago. :-)
1. I'm not 13 2. I'm not a girl 3. I don't joke about health anxiety or EDesque stuff, I've dealt with it long enough
You.are right it IS similar to issues with Dad (actually it was with Mum and I transferred the behaviour to Dad when I moved in with him last year) hence why I take an interest/concern. But I promise you it wasn't me

I can appreciate that but her dad's reaction to force her to eat tons of ice cream is neither a physically nor emotionally healthy approach imo
My first thought was 'omg abuse'- then I thought, if it was a different situation and she was overweight and he dad was forcing her to eat vegetables would I count that as abuse? Probably not. However, in this case I think he is creating a negative relationship with these foods and so is potentially making the problem worse. Idk.
