To want to scream 'It's not because I'm fat!'.

This is my DF's answer to everything that I say, some examples are;

Me- 'I love the rain'.

DF- 'It's because your fat and can hide away'.

Me- 'I hate talking to people on the phone'.

DF- 'It's because your fat and lack confidence'.

Me- 'I would love to move up north again, we were very happy there'.

DF- 'It's because your fat and are trying to avoid seeing people you know'.

Me- 'I can't stand baby groups'.

DF- 'It's because your fat, you would love them if you were thin'.

I am at the end of my tether, everything I say he reminds me that I'm fat, blames it on my weight or tells me that I should be thin as I would enjoy my life more.

I've had enough of hearing it, I just want to scream 'It's not because I'm fat!'.

Tell him it annoys you and throw it back - reply to all statements with 'its because you're old' 'bald' whatever.

Would a loving father just sit back and ignore the fact that his daughter is seriously damaging her health?

He may not be going about addressing his concern in the best way, but it may be the only way he can think of.

Are you doing anything to address your condition?

Are you still living in his place, so you see each other all the time?

Is he buying your food?

How are the DF's comments helping? They aren't. So he's either trying to help in a very misguided way or he's a nasty old git. Either way he's being unpleasant.

A loving father would be offerring to take op on walks in the countryside nort ridiculing her. or offerring support bh going to weightwatchers together if the op is ready for that.
Hope you are ok op. x

tell him how he's making you feel. Tell him to stop.

I'm sure he is concerned, but making someone feel like shit really is not the best way to encourage them to make changes.
