I really don’t get my sister or my dad. First my sister is a total freak who makes no sense and here is the evidence.
• She doesn’t like her body and wants to loose weight so does she do any exercise. She is always complaining about her belly being a beer belly and how she hates her body yet she does nothing to prevent it. Every now and then she sees me doing my sit-ups and ‘feels guilty’ so does about 7 then takes a break and then does another 7 meaning the whole process takes about 10 minutes.
• She has a warped idea of what is healthy and what isn’t. She finds a kind of food that she loves like porridge oats and then binge eats them as her staple diet for like 6months until she can’t ever eat them again and then moves onto another type of food.
• She constantly says (when looking for sympathy) that she thinks she will die from breast cancer because she has a higher chance (she hasn’t realised that both me and Lorcan have the same chance as her). She also thinks she will die from lung cancer but makes NO effort to quit smoking.
• She has weird theories like if you go out to a club then the smoke in the room is the same as smoking so in her view you might as well smoke yourself all the time.
• Whenever we go running she refuses to let anyone outside our direct family to know and smokes either directly before or after. Then when we finish our run she says that she is in total pain.
• She has gone on a website and paid £60 for a detox kit but has no intention of stopping drinking or smoking or doing anything differently. This is because the detox flushes out everything bad from your body so it will flush out all the bad stuff already in and the all the stuff she will eat.
• She acts like an anorexic always trying to get me to eat food and when I don’t want to eat (for example after I have eaten 20 minutes earlier no joke) she takes offence and will not speak to me until I eat.
• When I say she has a load of eating disorder symptoms she’s like ‘yeah but an eating disorder means you’re thin’.
• In general she wants to be thin but makes no effort to do it.
My dad has been told by the doctor that he will die soon unless he looses weight. His way of dealing with this is;
• Not to diet at all to carry on eating food and even sneaking snacks. What he hasn’t realised is that he doesn’t need to hide the snacks from us he needs to hide it from his major heart surgery and the 10pills he takes a day.
• He does NO exercise at all none. When we say he should he slags me off for taking up too much time so he isn’t free to exercise.
• He needs to go and see the doctor about like 7 problems with his health but when we suggest it he tells me that his children cost him too much.
• He will take on far too many jobs to do in normal time and works more than a 102 hour week.
• He basically wants to be a martyr so he can die and everyone will say hasn’t he been good. No he is driving himself to the grave and no one else realises this.
Oh when I say we suggest I don’t mean Marie his wife she couldn’t care less what he eats and there is one reason, life insurance the bitch
