After months of dedication to her weight loss journey, this 17-year-old managed to lose 10kg through daily dance workouts and a calorie deficit.
But instead of support, her family constantly criticizes her methods and throws in unsolicited advice.
When her grandma shamed her for eating after working out, she finally snapped.
Check it out.
AITA for telling my family members I don’t need their opinions on how I should lose weight.
17f here. In November I started my weight loss journey by myself I did my dance workouts every morning.
I’ve had a deficit of 1000 to 700 calories per day since then I’ve lost 10kg and I’m really proud of myself.
My family members however are confusing when I ask my grandma if I could have her scale (she keep locked away).
She’ll say things like “oh so it’s now you want to lose weight when we were telling you to lose weight didn’t ( mind you I was 13 at the time) and my mum says stuff like my dance workouts aren’t real and I should go to the gym.
Doesn’t really sound like you need the help.
My uncle says I should focus my deficit I should just go to the gym like any of them paid for a membership for me.
Anyways I usually ignore them but this evening after a 1 hour dance workout I decided to have some bread literally 2 slices of wholemeal bread the one that’s 54kcal.
Well deserved, I’d say.
My grandma said “and you say you want to lose weight after working out you shouldn’t eat.”
At that point everything boiled over and I snapped and asked who told her that. Now they all started scolding for being disrespectful and rude.
AITA?
No. No you’re not. Not according to Reddit.
This person says only a weight-loss expert can give weight-loss advice. Otherwise, it’s disrespectful.
This person says a conversation definitely needs to be had.
And this person, who has been there, knows exactly how this feels.
Guess what burns more calories than dancing?
Arguing with your entire family.
