Maybe give some free advice about: Mental health?
I think I understand your question to a degree. Your overweight and this for some reason this frustrates your parents. Are you a little or a lot overweight? Why does this frustrate your parents?
You're in your third year of college which would make you 20 or 21 years old, well into the adult stage of your life. Questions:
1) Are you happy with your life as it stands today?
2) Does your weight bother you?
3) On a scale of 1 to 10 with 10 being really bothers you and 1 being not bothers you. How much does being overweight bother you?
Why did I ask these questions. As a psychology major you may have some insight into the why though I will explain. This is your life, if you happy that is all that counts. If you not happy that is a different story and would give reason to your parents frustration if you are not doing anything to loose weight.
As a parent I can tell you that we want the very best for our children and we can become frustrated when we see them wasting or not living up to their full potential. If you are grossly over weight you parents see this as you not being able to fulfill your full potential because of your weight and the problems it may be causing you and have yet to cause you.
Like it or not we are a society that judges books by their covers. If a grossly overweight person who is equally qualified for a position applies for a job along with a trim and fit person. The trim and fit person is going to get the job. Even if that person is not as qualified the likely hood is that person will get the job for other reasons such as insurance requirements. Insurance companies are penalizing employers with higher rates who have to many at risk employees.
Lacking a reason for your parents frustration this is what I see as what their reason may be for being frustrated are. Though if your answer to my questions are all positive in your favor then enjoy your life and don't worry about your parents frustration.
You are an adult now and the only person, at this, time you have to please is yourself. Later on when you marry, if that is in your plan, then the people you need to please are yourself, your husband and eventually any children you have.

This question does not make sense. Why exactly are they frustrated? Is it you or your parents who are overweight?
Please ask this again making more sense, so people can help you, because we need a lot more detail than this.
