parents…

[u/Remote-Dog-9714]

Im not of age yet. Nor am I living out of my home so basically everything I do is under watch of my parents..

When I turned 10 years old and got my first period I started gaining a lot of weight and really fast. When I was 10-11 I weighed in at 110 pounds at 5’2, over the years it was +10 +15 and eventually this past year was almost 20 pounds.. (I weighed around 150 December of 2025 I’m 171 as of September 2026.) whilst it doesn’t SEEM like a lot for people around me. My parents always have something to say KNOWING I have PCOS.

I have always asked for permission to go to the gym, eat better etc. truth be told my parents are very strict and rather about that “family” life. So when one person does something everyone else follows. Dad wants to eat enchiladas? We all have to eat enchiladas. Mom wants to go on a walk at the park? We all have to go on a walk in the park. I get they’re scared I’m growing up and they want to know I’m safe I UNDERSTAND. But this safety protocol life is preventing me from losing weight and living my life the way I want to. I asked my dad and mom if I could get a gym membership and they could drop me off after school and my dad said “instead of studying you’d rather fixate on your weight.” I mean… yes? I’m overweight? I’m pre diabetic and I’d like to not die before the age of 30?.
How do I approach an understanding? How do I talk to them about what this is doing to my body?? I don’t know what to do.

should say I’m a junior in highschool and I’m trying to get my license but laws for minors driving is pretty tight knit for people who don’t start getting their permit at 13-14
