can i become fat person as my parents are not fat?

Question

I understand my parents are trying to help my lose weight but how can I tell them to not call me fat?

Answer 1

Yes: Genetic plays a role in being fat but lifestyle is also a very big factor. If you don't exercise, eat whatever you want at excessive amount, you can get fat despite having normal weight parents.

Answer 2

Yes.: Overweight and obesity are partially genetic and partially environmental, (related to diet and activity). Also, the reverse is true: an obese person can have parents of normal weight.

Answer 3

Yes: Yes you can.

Answer 4

Absolutely: Eat too much, be sedentary and voila!

Answer 5

Yes: If both your parents are rh negative then you must be rh negative. If your partner is rh positive then your baby may be rh positive in which case you would need rhogam.

Answer 6

No: If you mean that you are rh negative and the father of the baby is also rh negative then you do not need rhogam. Most of the time we do not have confirmation of the paternal blood type so we suggest the mom receive Rhogam at 28 weeks. After delivery we test the baby to see if you need another dose.

Answer 7

Informing parents: Please clarify whether you are asking about a physiatrist or a psychiatrist.

Answer 8

The Law: A physiatrist is no different then any other physician in what we can tell the parents of patients who are under 18. This also varies state by state.

Answer 9

Mediate: To be disowned implies serious disagreements concerning your behavior. Professional counseling and mediation is probably vital and truly your only hope fo reconciliation.

Answer 10

At 45?: Consult a lawyer, this is not a medical question unless this impacts your medical care, and a lawyer is still your best answer to this question

Answer 11

Get some help: If under 18 years old you may need to talk to a trusted adult, teacher, school counselor. Clearly if their problem is bad i would suspect some of your needs are not being meet and you may be neglected. Bottom line is that you do not have to handle it on your own, if you have your own doctor you could talk to them. You must know you did not cause the problem and can't fix it on your own.

Answer 12

Gambler parents: You can't . Tha is for your paretns to do. You can howeve, let them know how they would fee if you decided to gamble, which of course you hopefully won't. Just gently ask who paid the bills this month so they can maybe be uncomfortable that they did not pay the bills. Be gentle and maybe guide them t a gamblers' anonymous group. Good luck and still "love your parents". They may afraid.

Answer 13

Get supports: Family members of those who have various kinds of addictions, including gambling, often feel (sometimes simultaneously) anger, guilt, shame and frustration. Children particularly may feel that they may be, in some way, responsible for their parents' problems. Gamblers anonymous has open meetings that family members can attend. http://www.gamblersanonymous.org/ga/locations. A counselor may help.

Answer 14

Seek help: See a financial counselor.

Answer 15

That is very sad.: you may want to check with a social worker.
