My parents keep calling me fat, even though I am trying to lose weight. I told them to stop, but they won't. How can I make them stop doing this?

It’s difficult to understand why your parents would keep calling you that. They may think it’s motivating you or they get satisfaction from your reaction. If they think they are motivating you, let them know that you have a plan to lose weight and would appreciate their support. Follow that up with acceptable ways to support you. Negative name-calling and criticism never works for motivation, but they may not be aware of that. If they get satisfaction from your reaction, try not to give them a reaction. Another way to address the issue is to bring in another family member who can talk to your parents on your behalf or be present to support you when you tell your parents that name-calling actually interferes with your weight loss goals. They may be more likely to listen to someone else, and that third party could be a support person for you when you need to be encouraged after dealing with your parents.
