Oh kiddo, it's nothing to be embarrassed about. Trust me. I'm a physician and the things people say.....this doesn't make it onto the scale. I think the easiest thing if I was in your shoes, would be to kind of put it on your parents, that would kind of take the pressure off of you. Frame it something like; "my dad's been freaking out and trying to weigh me all the time because he's worried about my weight, what should I do"? They should take it completely from there regarding asking questions about weight loss, eating habits, purging and exercise behaviors, fears of gaining weight etc. I know how hard it is. I can remember wanting my doctor to ask me about my weight so many times and she never did even though I was stupidly underweight, sometimes people don't see what's right in front of their faces until they're made to. Unfortunately, that's true for docs as well. I have a feeling you might not even have to bring it up if you went to the doctor, he/she may do it for you, but if you do, that's how I'd go about it.
Good luck. Please, please make an appt. You're heading further and further down a dangerous road, my friend.
Hang in there.
