Losing weight = car

hey so I’m currently a freshmen in college. rising sophomore now and I’ve been working since my senior year in high school. I have a good amount saved up but if all goes towards my tutio. recently I got a summer job which requires me to have a car. my parents and I had a deal that if I got a job that needed a car they would lend me there extra car or buy me a new one(whatever works better financially for them). I would like to preface that my parents make a lot of money and they could pay for private school tuition out of pocket if they wanted but even then they don’t pay my government school tuition. As soon as I got my job they immediately backed out on the deal and said that I need to lose 20 pounds if i want a car. I’m 5’8 and weight 165. I understand that I’m not at the most ideal weight but it’s frustrating for them to keep changing the deal and using something so personal against me. I’ve already lost a total of 15 pounds since starting college and I really need the car for the summer. They also recently bought a new cars for themselves so it is not like they can’t financially afford this or that they don’t have extra cars. im not sure on how to continue my relationship with my parents because I feel butt hurt but also I realize it is their money. Is it fair for them to require me to lose that much weight in such a short amount of time for a car I need for a job?
