Sick of this.

I'm so sick of calories. Points. Weighing. Measuring. I feel like throwing that goddamn weight scale out the window, Byebye! No one will miss you anyway! And just walk out. I feel like giving them the finger at the next hospital visit and walk away with my head high. I'll never get it anyway.
I know exactly why I've been overweight all my life. My parents never tried to activate me. They never tried to make me interested in sports and such. They just let me stay inside, eat candy and watch Tv. As long as I didn't complain. It was so easy. Too easy. I could've started swimming, playing volleyboll or anything. Then perhaps my weight issue wouldn't have gotten so far. But no... they never set limits, they just gave and gave. And yeah, you can call them awesome parents, they are but I can't deny that they've helped "forming" me. Kids need to have some structure, a little dicipline, not too much, but just enough. Then they might learn to dicipline themselves later on.
But the worst thing in the world to do is to forbid kids to eat certain things. I mean come on, then they will just go get it in secret, getting a rush since they're doing the forbidden. I know. It's better to say that it's ok every once in a while, not every day. Or to force them to eat when they don't want to. Very bad idea. Food should be enjoyed, not forced upon you.
