Because they don't see you the way you see your self.
When you are alone and the clothes come off. You see what improvements need to be made, they don't see that part of you.
Everyone can try to look a little better, or feel a little healthier. Lose a little weight and tone up, if you feel it is what you need.
1) You threaten them
2) They are trying to build you up
3) They are scared you will become obsessed and over do it.
4) You are neurotic and they are right
5) You make them feel guilty
6) You being healthy, makes you less fun to them.
Three possibilities:
- You don't.
- You don't -need- to even if you'd benefit, and they want you to feel good about yourself
- They are fat too but like to pretend they're not, or that they're only slightly overweight. You taking care of yourself threatens what they've convinced themselves is normal.
YOU decide if you need to tone up and lose weight, not other people. They are probably just flattering you; girls tend to say that to each other, don't they, even if you DO need to lose weight!

I have family like that also. If you want to lose weight, then do it. If it makes you happy about yourself I think your family should be supportive. Just ignore what your family thinks, and do what you please. It's your body for a reason, not theirs. (:
because they don't trust your judgement and think you want to be anorexic... well that's how my family is... It is so hard being vegan... I am not crazy... I have educated myself.. I eat a lot healthier than most people!
They're probably just trying to be nice or it's the truth. BUT, you do say that you want to tone up a little bit and there's nothing wrong with that.
Theyre probably just trying to be nice. Its always good to exercise and keep a good weight so keep at it!
