Conversation with my dad

Have you ever read the book "Women Food and God" by Geneen Roth? It's an amazing book that talks about why we overeat and how it's so much NOT about the food but how we were raised, the struggles in our lives, and how our eating is a complete mirror image of how we approach our lives. Its fantastic and I have found it to be very helpful. I don't recommend it for the purpose of telling you you need to lose weight...but rather to help you accept yourself for who you are and to recognize that others' opinions matter very little compared to your opinion of yourself. I'm guessing that your dad's influence has had only negative affects on your self-esteem. You are beautiful and deserve to be content with yourself..no matter what size you are. I highly recommend the book. I have read it 3-4 times over the last few months because every page really speaks to me and reminds me of what is important. Good Luck!
