My family keeps saying, ‘Let’s weigh you and see how you’re doing.’ But I don’t want to be weighed because it puts unbearable pressure on me. This situation bothers me quite a bit, and honestly, I’m struggling to overcome my family’s pressure regarding this issue. They are thinking about my health, but I can’t handle this much pressure.
I was under that kind of pressure too. My mom always wanted me to weigh myself, and I would say, ‘What’s going to happen on that scale?’ In the end, I didn’t weigh myself; I thought about my own health, but honestly, it was tough ![]()
Well, have you ever tried talking about this with your family? I mean, why are they so insistent?
@soncaykaldi yes, I talked, but their answers didn’t satisfy me. When they said ‘it’s important for your health,’ I replied, ‘my health belongs to my body, it has nothing to do with you.’
@makarnaoncesi but I think you’re blowing this situation a bit out of proportion. Every family wants to be healthy, maybe they’re just worrying about it that much because they feel lonely ![]()
family pressure can affect emotional health. in this situation, remember that how you feel is important. looking for another way and explaining this to the family might be a good idea.
Oh come on, I don’t think you should weigh yourself ![]()
I’ve read about this topic before, so it’s a tough situation. But you don’t have to weigh yourself constantly to find a solution.
Maybe you could talk to your family about considering another measurement method that takes their health into account. Going to the doctor, getting a blood test, and things like that might help reassure them. Because it seems like the scale has become an excuse for their stress.
