Miscellaneous: Classic Mom moment

Classic Mom moment

By me - 28/06/2013 15:51 - United States

Today, I went to my parents' house. I recently lost about 30 lbs. My mom hugged me and said, "Aww, you're not my chubby baby girl anymore." She then said she wished I were still fat because she missed it. She's the reason I lost the weight; she used to tease and taunt me. Thanks Mom. FML

Family meals that turn absurd, because Thanksgiving is also about laughing at little disasters. More…

Today, my aunt said that it looked like I lost some weight. I was pleased with this, since I've been trying to lose some. My mom, for some reason, thought it was insulting. She pulled me to aside to assure me that I most definitely don't look any skinnier. FML

Today, I came home crying and informed my mother that someone had called me a 'fat bitch' today. She held me at arms length, looked me straight in the eyes, and lovingly said, "You can't change who you are." FML

Today, I found myself crying in the bathroom because I started to feel lonely and depressed. My mother came into the bathroom, hearing me cry and gave me an hour long speech about what a beautiful human being I am… And to not forget to lose weight. FML

Today, after several months of eating right, exercising, and weight loss, my mother has yet again arrived at my house, unannounced and with a very sugary cake. She's been doing this most weeks since I lost 50 pounds. FML

Today, I walked downstairs in a new outfit, after dieting for 3 months, and losing just over 20 pounds. My mom took one look at me and said "You'd better keep going." FML

Today, whilst trying on wedding dresses with my mom, she told me that I looked fat and awful in the dress I liked. When I told her how hurtful she was being, she told me that I should be grateful that she told me what she thought instead of laughing at me behind my back. FML

That's odd. You are probably beautiful either way, though.

Well now you can tease back about your new sexy self and perhaps encourage your mother to change an unhealthy habit of hers. Of course don't pressure or do it to the extent she has done to you, people only change when they want too.

My mother was the same way.. She used to bug me when I was chubby and now when I go to her house she tries to stuff my face.

All of the adults who have called me fat are fatter than me.

i have a different read on this i guess, maybe because im a parent. she want's whats best for you, but she also loves her cherished memories of her baby girl. emotions do not need to be logically consistent, and i doubt she was trying to tear you down - but i cant say for sure as i don;t know her or you

The weightloss should have come from you wanting it not from trying to prove something to anyone. Good luck hope you dont gain it all back.

I think she misses being able to taunt you since you lost the weight. No offense OP, but your mom sounds like a real bully. Congrats on losing the weight though. 30lbs is a fabulous accomplishment!
