One of the main reasons....
 

I am overweight is staying with us right now (I have no control since I live with my parents) and It's really messing with me. Every time he comes over (he's my brother) we end up in some type of argument like we are kids or something. It's rather annoying.

The Reason i'm posting this in the "Binging" part is because EVERY time he stays here I end up binging like crazy. He is ALL the time talking about how skinny he looks and how his clothes fit him and If he should wear that outfit today and how hot he is. UGH! seriously I don't think he understands how much that hurts me to listen to him talking about that all the damn time.. He makes sure to make those comments when I'm in the room. I try tp ignore him as much as possible. But his snide comments are pretty bad sometimes.

I hate that I have no control over myself (more then normal) when he's here. It's like he snaps what control I do have up and keeps it locked up. I guess I just needed someone to talk to about this and this form is the closest I can come to talking about it. (I dont have really many people in my real life that I can talk about this with).

Anyway Sorry about this post.. I just needed someplace to vent. and I hope his stay here now does not make me go into a binge. I've done really good this last week. Not one binge at all.

You need to understand that you're the one who controls your own actions, you are in control of your own life. It seems a bit immature from your brother's part to brag about his body when he knows that you are struggling to lose weight. If I were you I'd just ignore him. If he notices his words don't affect you anymore, he'll probably stop.

You do have control over yourself, it's the one thing you always have to keep in mind, no matter what happens. It can be frustrating to have someone around looking fit, but turn this into a positive thing, it should motivate you to lose weight, so that next time he visits, you'll be the one showing off their body.

Brothers can be really, really stupid. With mine it seems like we sometimes get stuck in that "third grade mode" and act like children. The only way I found to really work it out is to ignore them when they are acting like asses. Go listen to music, read a book, write or draw if that's your thing. Study. Avoidance is king.
