I need help. My mom is making my brother fat and all my attempts to help him have failed. This is going to be a bit of a long one. I am currently 17 and I have been fat all my life up until recently. Now I have never been over what's been considered a "skinny fat" but I was still fat. I am 6'3 and my highest was 220. The only reason I was able to get thin was people like you guys and the kitchen going under renovations and me having to buy my own food, which, since I'm a lazy fuck, deciding to skip meals then realizing that dieting isn't all that bad. Currently 182 and trying to get down to 170 by the end of the summer. My mother is... let's say liberal with food when it concerns her children. She basically never said no to any requests, and if we didn't ask for it she would buy a bag of chips or bring us Slurpees without us asking. She herself, oddly enough, is super skinny. She works out all the time and manages her portions. But for some reason she doesn't extend that arm to her kids, who she thinks should have whatever they want.  But this isn't about me or my mother, this is about my brother. Now my brother annoys the hell out of me, his voice is enough to do it. Makes me just want to punch him in the teeth, but I still love the fucker. But I see him going down a path that I went down and it hurts me on the inside. I hated myself for most of my life because of choices made by my mother, and I can't do anything. It took a lot for me to come out and try to speak to my mother and my grandmother (my mother lives with my grandmother) about his weight with using myself as evidence. I honestly spoke more then i thought I would and it was very personal. It really hurts to see that nothing changed, and not only that when I talked to my brother my mom had the audacity to go up to him and tell him i was wrong then she comes up to me and tells me that HE IS DONE WITH ME. Then she acts surprised that I am hurt by all of this. My family thinks I hate my brother but I simply can't stand the way my mother treats him. Edit: I keep forgetting things to say. I tried talking to my brother 1 on 1 as well. Everyone, and I mean EVERYONE in my family knows there is something wrong with the way my mother treats my brother, but no one has said anything because it is difficult, but when I say something she brushes it off and now has turned my brother against me. I don't know what to do because I don't want him to go down the same path I went down during middle school/high school. My brother is currently 9 years old and 130 pounds. Edit: he hasn't been weighed in a while, and my mom thinks its rude when I say he should be. tl;dr Brother is fat, i used to be fat because of my mom, i try to change the way mom treats brother, get brushed off and have brother turned against me, dont know what to do.
