I hate models and the fashion industry

Because of models and the fashion industry, my parents put too much pressure on me. I am not allowed to eat more than 2 small meals a day. My parents want me to become thin because I am tall. They have this crazy idea that I will transform into one of those Amazonian models at this age. My parents make me exercise a lot on a daily basis - 60 squats a day, 30 push ups, running etc. They keep yelling.
Sometimes I quietly binge or eat stuff outside and do not let my parents know about it. I have a weakness for a good chicken burger or a Lebanese chicken, rice and salad plate or a cinnamon bun.
If God forbid, the weighing scale shows an increase by 1 kg, my mom screams at me.

What my parents do not understand is that I am not a model, I am an Engineer. I need food to think and do my job. I cannot survive. No wonder I sneak and eat after starving for a few days.

My therapist told me to leave my parents. My parents do not leave me. Also, as an Indian origin girl, I have a sense of duty to family. No matter what, we never abandon family.
