At supper all a ate was a couple pieces of watermelon, and my dad like was making me feel guilty like I was going on a diet cause I think I'm fat or something but I just wasn't hungry. He makes me feel guilty and stuff like I actually am now. I never want to seem him again and am pissed at him. Can some one chear me up, I have a low self esteem because I'm getting so self consience? ( the reason I put this in singles and dating is because not 2 many go in other categories)

you're lucky that your dad cares so much about you. there are girls that go days without eating and nobody even notices. they cry, and nobody gives them a hug. your dad is there for you. count your blessings, not your headaches. he wants you to be healthy, happy, and nourished. that is not a bad thing. it is loving. it is wonderful. you are so lucky.

Your dad probably was not thinking about how you look, but may have been concerned that watermelon alone for a meal is NOT a balanced meal. There may be some other reason why you are feeling self-concious. Look at yourself in the mirror and answer the following questions. Do you think you are fat? Has someone at school or a friend made a snide comment about your size or appearance? If your doctor has not advised you to lose weight and your clothes fit you, then you have no good reason to diet. Even if you are overweight, that is no reason to despair. So many young and older people have weight problems but healthy eating habits and exercise can usually solve that problem in time.
As for allowing yourself to think less of YOU because of size or appearance, it is just wrong. You must value yourself and do not allow what others say to upset your self-concept. Above all else, please do not take your frustrations out on your dear ol' dad, who would not have commented at all unless he really cared about what his daughter eats.

Imagine having all of your family, friends, and anyone else around say the same things even when you are eating a lot. I'm 5'5" and wiegh about 98 pounds. I know that doesn't sound very healthy, but I function just fine and I do eat. I eat a lot. I'm practically always eating. Yet, everyone tells me how sick and anorexic I look all the time. It does get old and it pisses me off, too. But I have learned to ignore it. Well that is all my Dr. Phil crap :P
Anyhoo! Make you feel better.... ahh, how about a joke? Hm..
I don't know any :-/ so I got this off of Comedy Central ! :D

You should love yourself for who you are. Whats on the inside counts for more than whats on the outside. Im sure that your dad is just looking out for you and he should be. There are to many women out there starving themselves for no reason at all. You need to know that God made you the way you are for a reason. If he wanted you to look differently he would have made you differently.

Sorry, not here to make you feel better about yourself. There are going to be more people in this world that a more willing to stomp your feelings into the ground than make you feel good about yourself.
Self confidence comes from within.
