Im not terribly skinny and my mom wants me to lose weight and keeps blaming my health issues on my weight when they were there before i gained weight from my illnesses. im trying to slowly gain some more but my mom thinks i need to lose weight to be healthy and loved. i feel complexed about my fetish as i know its a part of me but theres a stigma of being fat.
i am 18 and should be getting a job and eventually go to college soon.
I have a feedism fetish and my mom hates it

We ask that users looking for general, ongoing emotional support post in this area of the boards, and that you use this space to both ask for, give and receive that support primarily from each other, rather than from our staff and volunteers. As a staff, we simply are often too overextended with all we need to do in running the organization and its services to do that for extended periods of time, and one of our main aims of our community at the boards has always been to facilitate peers to better be there for each other.
Users often report that they have no in-person peers they can talk to or seek support from: we want this to be a space for online peer support and somewhere everyone can get some practice asking for, getting and giving support so that doing it with people in your lives feels more doable.
Please remember that neither staff, volunteers nor your fellow users can provide or replace mental healthcare when that is something you need. Users struggling with issues like anxiety, depression, abuse or physical health issues are strongly encouraged to seek out qualified, in-person help with those issues in addition to peer or staff support.

Re: I have a feedism fetish and my mom hates it
Hey there, Kitty.
So, you're a legal adult, which means that all of your healthcare decisions are now as fully your own as they get. You're right, there is a ton of anti-fat attitude in our world, and even the idea that losing weight is the answer to solving health issues is often more based in bias than in science. Science actually tends to bear out that dieting, in particular, is more often responsible for health issues than helpful.
Do you like the healthcare providers that you see for whatever your health issues are? Do any of them feel like someone you could talk to about your body and get advice, without stigma, about what's best for your health right now? For the record, patients always have the right to ask healthcare providers to have talks like that WITHOUT talking about, or even taking, your weight.

Oh, that's such a relief to hear. Often, that's not the answer that people have about their providers.
Happy to help if you need any help fine-tuning what to talk with them about or how to do it, just drop another post here and I'll be on it. If not, I hope these conversations go well.
