I like to think we all have completely normal relationships with food. Key word being "think," because I'm not sure anymore. My sisters and I are absolutely fixated on our weights, and it's getting ridiculous.<br><br>The thing that makes all this even crazier is that we all have perfectly normal relationships with food. We don't excessively exercise or starve ourselves. We don't binge. We eat three square meals a day and snack in the afternoon. We do sporty activities sometimes, but nothing too intense. We're just like any normal family, and we're all obsessed with our weights.<br><br>I'm 16, I have a sister who is 19, and we have another sister in her early 20s. At family dinners, we spend a lot of time talking about our weights. We don't do it in a mean way, but we do talk about it a lot. My oldest sister is the one that brought it up the first time, and then my other sister and I started sharing our weights too.<br>My sisters and I are all at healthy weights, but they are always worried about gaining weight. I have a different problem: I'm always trying to gain weight. I'm naturally very skinny, which is a blessing and a curse. On the one hand, I don't have to worry about my weight at all. On the other hand, I don't feel athletic or strong, and I worry that I am not healthy.<br><br>My sisters and I are all at healthy weights, but they are always worried about gaining weight.

I am worried about gaining weight because I want to feel stronger and healthier.<br><br>This is turning into a vicious cycle. They see how thin I am and it makes them feel even more anxious about their own weight. They see how strong and healthy I am and it makes them feel even more insecure about their own bodies.<br><br>I want to tell them to stop obsessing over their weight, but I don't want to hurt their feelings. I feel like if I tell them to stop obsessing over their weight, they will think that I am criticizing them and that will just make things worse.<br><br>I want to tell them to stop obsessing over their weight, but I also want to ask them to help me gain weight so that I can feel stronger and healthier. I feel like if I ask them to help me gain weight, they will think that I am criticizing them and that will just make things worse. I like my body, but I want to be healthier and stronger. I want my sisters to like their bodies too. I want all of us to be happy with our bodies.
