Well, thanks for all your thoughts, everyone. I've decided not to lose any more weight and once I get my latest study results and it's clear that I don't have to leave college, I'm going to search for an appartment. It's pretty sure now that the local weight gain was because of hormone issues, because those motherfuckers are acting pretty goddamn crazy the last 6-7 months.
If that's obese, I like obesity! Hot damn.
Just my two cents, your parents probably have this 'perfect' image for you and how they want you to be, and whilest I disagree not only with their opinion but also their harsh methods of letting you know how they feel, I can understand that a parent wants what's best for their children, even if what they think is best for you isn't actually all that good. Sure it's not a bad thing to try and stay healthy, but there is such a thing as taking it too far. You look healthy already.
Well, there's also this weird thing I noticed while we were on our study trip. You had like 3 kinds of girls there: the ones with "perfect" bodies, the "normal" ones and the seriously fat ones. The seriously fat ones weren't really bothered by their fatness, because most of them knew they were fat because of some health problem (a broken thyroid gland, not being allowed to exercize because of having Q-fever) and even if they didn't they seemed to be the most confident girls of our trip. Then you had the "normal" girls, who weren't that much bothered by their weight, but they had other complexes about their bodies, like having too tiny hips, no waist or a flat bum. The "perfect" looking girls were clearly the most insecure ones, constantly grabbing any tiny little piece of skin, showing it to other girls and complaining about how they should lose weight "because I'm like waaaaaay too fat look at this belly roll over here like ewwwwww!".
Oh, and I'm eating healthier lately anyways. Lots and lots and lots of fruit. Yummy. And I already exercise enough, so that won't be a problem either. It's just my hormones acting like crazy since last november. First my bra size increases from C to D/E within a few weeks, then my menstrual cycle gets speeded up from 40 to 33 days and now I'm suddenly not having a period at all even though I'm constantly PMSing and now I suddenly totally hate myself for no good reason (and no, it's very unlikely that I'd be pregnant).
By the way, I like my body. It's just that my ideal and that of my family is very different. I'd like to have an hourglass figure (normal weight, tiny waist, big hips, round ass, big boobs), my family on the other hand wants me to look like a sexdoll (skinny, straight up-and-down body with big boobs).
It's disturbing that parents have any strong opinions on their kids' boobs.
I have a strong opinion about boobs. I quite like them.
I don't have a strong opinion on my daughter's boobs, but I was a little sad when she started getting them- and apprehensive, as it meant that I would soon have to start threatening teenage boys with physical violence.

So my parents always made a big drama about my body, not because they thought I was anorexic, but because they think I'm way too fat. When they learned that I never use the scales and only take my measurements, they took my measuring take and hid it, so I'd use the scales again. I didn't use the scales, if you were curious, because all I'm interested in is if my proportions are still okay. So when I found my measuring tape again after five months of not having any control over my body, I found that my waist gained 3 cm/1.2 inch and my hips gained 6 cm/2.4 inch (I already noticed that my bras were getting too small). Oops. Even though I'm one of the lucky few whose waist hip-ratio improves when gaining weight, my parents are making more drama about my body than ever, mostly because I don't eat a lot. My father thinks I have a problem with my thyroid gland and my mother thinks I'm balancing on the edge of obesity. So now I'm having a dilemma: I could start dieting and exercize more and lose my beloved curves (and saving €10000 to get myself a boob job and a butt job to get everything back in proportion) or I could keep everything the way it is and listen to my naggy parents. It would be nice to have some other opinions, so I just took a picture of myself with my phone (I'm sorry about the crappy quality). Am I really that fat?
So... do you have any daughters? Or maybe, are you in the process of adopting a 17 year old large-busted Swede?
I wouldn't be adopting her as a daughter
Perch, this isn't your type of topic to discuss from prior experience.
