Last night we had chinese and i really didn't want to eat it all, so I just asked to leave. My dad got all offended though and said i shouldn't have ordered it, which i didn't, and that i couldn't leave until i ate it all. So i of coursed forced it down. I should have known better. That's been a rule ever since I was 3. They would give me 5 times as much as i could eat and then just make me sit at the table until it was gone or they beat me and sent me to bed (sorry, that sounded kind of harsh, but they beat me with a belt and that was that). So two questions: 1: am i alone? and 2: any tips?

This is so true for me as well. Talk to your parnets about this or you could use the old 'dump in trash when not looking' thing. Hey if it's not that much trouble, can you please try to answer my question on the board! thanks! :0

I think you should compromise wit them. If you don't want to eat, just eat a small portion of the food. So that makes them happy and you.
