How can I cheat my weight without my mother finding out?

[Anonymous]

Since i said, lately she's forcing me to weigh myself in front of her because she thinks i'd cheat.

Her biggest fear is that i will lose more weight, and she demands taht i should take 2 pounds at least every 10 days, i refuse to do because i find it ridiculous to weigh myself in front of my mother. And if i don't do this she threatens me that she will punish me in some way.

But i don't want to become any heavier!!! I want to keep my BMI between the range of 18-20, but she wants me to be at least BMI 20!!! What can i do so i can cheat my weight without realising it? Like putting some object inside my underwear that is small but heavy enough to give me 2 extra pounds... so she can't see it. and yes that's not a joke, i was seriously thinkng about it...

... or any other ideas?

drink a lot of water - at least 20-30 oz
put rolls of coins, not loose, in bra/underwear
wear heavy clothes
eat right before you weigh
wear heavy shoes if she lets you weigh shoes
don't use the restroom for several hours before

(Coming from a ballerina who has had to maintain an "ideal" bmi, while also staying as skinny as possible) These actually do work well, but they can't do more than 2-3 pounds max. Lots of water, eating, and not using restroom work best, coins work good too, but they're kinda risky

[Asker]

no coins, because they might fell off.
perhaps a billiard ball could work?

[shygirl16]

the ball would be rather hard to hide. As long as you get the coins in a roll, wrapped tightly in thick paper like you get from the bank, they should be relatively easy to hide and they won't fall out. You can try taping the rolls to yourself

Is she making you do this because you have an eating disorder or because your doctor has said you are underweight?

by the way here's a BMI vs BFP:

I haven't written part two yet because I've been sick but I should have it up this week.

[cheeseysouffle]

by the way, if it /is/ because of an eating disorder it is highly recommended by some doctors that you need to get rid of all the scales and mirrors in your house. A BMI of 18-20 is teetering on being underweight which is not healthy.

Klaatu - what will she do to you if you don't?

On the other hand, if you get a good resistance training regimen in order, it's a pretty good chance to put on some muscle, if you want to.

[Asker]

i don't want to put on muscle.

she's saying stuff that she will stay all day at home and never leave, or she won't let me cook again and generally things that annoy me.

[Kythe]

Well, since you live under her roof, you do have fewer options. Still, you are an adult, and there are limits to what she can do to you.

[Asker]

actully the house is LEGALLY my own by half. i'm not living under her roof

[Kythe]

Then there's pretty much nothing she can do to you but disown you. You have to decide what you'll put up with, but she has no power over you that you don't give her.

Your mom is the type that refuses to see reality, she still wants you to be her baby boy. She might have some metal issue, should check that out.

[kheserthorpe]

Actually his mother is implementing what his doctor recommended.

[Jeffrey625625]

18 BMI sounds good to me, well I was not of any help.

[BertMacklinFBI]

drink dense liquids prior to weighing.

[Asker]

hmmmmm like which one?

[BertMacklinFBI]

i tried looking it up, it would appear you have to make it yourself hahaa.

[wonderhappytime]

How tall are you? i don't know what that BMI means in terms of your body. and how much do you weigh if you don't mind sharing?

[Asker]

i'd rather not share.

BMI 20-25 is consindered "normal weight" whilst BMI 18-20 is skinny yet not anorexic

[Asker]

i want to remain skinny basically i feel more comfortable that way

[wonderhappytime]

Honestly, I think you should just ignore her. If your BMI is normal and the doctor says you're perfectly healthy, then there's no need to add more weight. To gain weight, you have to consume more calories than you burn, and uncontrolled eating can lead to obesity. What's the worse she can do? fill your room with pizza and stuff? Judging by your age, you are a grown adult and knows how to be responsible in taking care of your health.

[wonderhappytime]

Further more, rushing to gain weight is not healthy. I'd be more comfortable if your mother suggested you gain 2 pounds over the course of 2 months, but 10 days is a little insane...

[wonderhappytime]

If you really must gain weight, then try negotiating with your mother. Tell her this 2 pounds in 10 days is like stuffing as much food as your stomach can hold... It may work in the short term, but you may relapse back into old eating habits and hit 18 BMI again, or that it could make you overweight if you can't control it. Tell her you would be willing to eat healthy but high calorie foods.

[Asker]

actually the doctor agrees with her. he was the one who told my mother that i should add 2 pounds every 10 days, because my BMI was 17.5 during my last visit on him

[DodgersGM]

Why is she this concerned about your weight? Are you healthy as you are, as deemed by doctors and the like?

[llorando]

Do you haft to weight your self with clothes on or off, cause clothes on will make cheating easier. The easiest way is to wear heavy clothes or add extra weight to your shoes or pockets.

[Asker]

WITH CLOTHES ON OF COURSE!!! I said in front of her how would it be possible to weigh without?

[kangy]

Your mom concern is getting overbearing
Breathe in and out
Are you underweight?

[Asker]

No now i' m 18.5

[Tokana]

Eat a lot of sodium and your body will retain water to make you heavier.

[sluggognatface]

Keep on sleeping with those hookers and you will find a permanent weight loss solution. :P

[Asker]

@sluggognatface read again... i want to make her believe that i pt on weight

[sluggognatface]

I know and understand and you don't need the @ thing for commenting on an answer buddy :P

[Bellarosalina]

Wear ankle weights and sweatpants she won't question it.

[thewanderingme]

how old are you? just move out?

[Asker]

That 's impossible my house is my own by half

[thewanderingme]

well, you're an adult. tell her to leave you alone.

[Asker]

it doesn't work no matter how many times i tell

[thewanderingme]

sell your half of the house.

[Asker]

hahah and where would i live? in the park?

the best thing is to make her stop. she must admit that she's wrong, she can't force me to put on weight, even if the doctor is with her about it. he was the one who told her to add 2 pounds every 10 days. both are insane in my opinion.

[Random_chick_2384]

Put weights somewhere in ur clothes

[Victoria_xoxo]

Your mom can't make you gain weight

[Asker]

who said that? she's forcing me to do. she keeps threatening me that she'll punish me if i don't hit 20 in BMI

[Victoria_xoxo]

You're between the age of 18-24
Grow up. Your mom should too, since she is so childish.
What is her reasoning for you to gain weight?

[Asker]

she's the one who sould grow up not me.

and she's afraid that i'm anorexic. i've reached BMI under 18 once, and she wants me to be at least 20, whilst i want to be between 18-20. we can't agree

[Victoria_xoxo]

By you growing up, I mean you should stand up to her and make your own decisions
If you're healthy and not anorexic then it shouldn't be a problem! Lol

[Asker]

i tell her i'm sick of it, i don' want to stuff myself but it doesn't work

[Victoria_xoxo]

I think you guys should talk to a psychologist then

[Asker]

a waste of money. we did this some years ago, and it didn't work

[Ihav2fart]

Aren't you a grown ass man Mr Klaatu?

[Asker]

don't call me mr i feel like 80 yo.

unfortunately my mother still thinks i'm a baby

[Ihav2fart]

My apologies sir!

We'll always be a baby to our parents.

[Nothing_]

Get some dreadlocks to add weight ;D
