If I may ask, while growing up, have you had shoved food into you because the family said you have to eat enough [and more], or the other way around, that you were told not to eat too much?

Neither, actually, I was mostly told to make sure I ate veggies and had food of several different colors on my plate. It was in college that my (all naturally very thin and non-athletic) made comments about how much food I ate. While always eating dessert. It was like, "I'm taller, curvier, and go to the gym every day, there is a reason I eat the way that I do."

And I guess it sounds odd if I said that I'm too embarrassed to go to a gym. I could do some workout at home, but then I'd had to deal with my family's stupid sayings. :( IDK.


That doesn't sound odd at all. Especially give that it sounds like your family has some screwy ideas about food and exercise.
