Food Addiction Treatment: Do I Need to Change My Eating Habits? My Moms Bf Is Making Me Eat Stuff I Hate?
Question by Donald: Do I need to change my eating habits? My moms bf is making me eat stuff I hate?
I’m 14 and 100 pounds. I’ve ate junk food from when i was 4 to 7 but ate a little healthier, gained about 10 pounds from when i was 8 to 10, and then started back on junk. Ok, so here’s what i eat every day
1) Breakfast – I have no time to eat breakfast so i eat 3 or 4 pretzels but when i have time i eat 3 cups of cheerios (I have an addiction to cheerios but sometimes i don’t just eat them for breakfast; i’ll eat them several times a day)
2) Lunch – I drink a Fanta orange soda with a small bag of Lays chips
3) Time till Dinner – I might eat half a bag of Lays Chips (no joke); sometimes I just eat pretzels. And I’ll down 2-3 Fantas in this time (I Loooove fanta and sunkist orange their so good)
4) Dinner – My moms bf is making me eat different foods for dinner b/c he thinks i need to eat healthier. Sometimes i have mashed potatoes (Which i HATE; their disgusting), spaghetti (Which I’ve loved since i was 8); steak (which i don’t always eat but i like it; i’ve had it many times); different vegetables (I absolutely HATE vegetables b/c they all taste the same anyway and its a terrible taste ewww)
5) I also love to eat fast food and i eat KFC or McDonalds 3 times a week (but haven’t been going lately b/c moms bf got pissed @ me for bein so picky and getting “special treatment” ugh hes such an ahole). If i eat McDonalds I get a large fry and a small coke; and if i eat KFC I ONLY eat Popcorn Chicken (I love it mmmmm :o) and I get 3 to 4 and eat on the way home. It’ll be sometimes about $ 5 to get my stuff at McD’s and sometimes about $ 20 at KFC.
When I was 8 or 9 for breakfast I’d eat almost a whole pack of bacon (i still love it but i don’t eat it as much anymore) and I’d drink almost half a carton of Florida Orange Juice. I don’t drink orange juice anymore though but i still love it.
Btw I also excercise.. i do 25 crunches and 25 pushups a day. (The crunches before dinner; pushups @ night)
So am I a healthy teen? And should I change my eating habits?

Your eating habits are totally disgusting and completely unhealthy. Listen to your mother’s boyfriend and eat better.
