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

Thanksgiving: Turkeys and Skids
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

Today, I asked my mom if she thought I looked skinny in my shorts. She jiggled my leg fat, looked up at me and walked away. FML

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

What a horrible woman. I'm sorry. Good for you! You should be proud of yourself.

Congrats! Any weight loss should be because you wanted to, not because you want to please someone else. But your mom isn't helping the situation by sending you mixed messages. That's cruel and disheartening of her!

This sounds exactly like my mom, OP. Last year I got really sick and lost a lot of weight which prompted her to call me a skeleton on a daily basis, then I gained enough weight so I'm a healthy 130 lb and now she criticizes my genetic double chin and says I need to lose weight. Some people are just rude jerks. I hope you don't let her bring you down because you're beautiful no matter what!

Maybe fifteen pounds or so being lost would have been more towards her liking but still good for you for losing some weight...

If you don't mind me asking OP. How did you lose that weight? Just ignore your mothers comment OP, you're beautiful the way you are.

Bitch is just mad she lost that source of power over you. People who perpetuate and exacerbate other people's insecurities are some of the worst people. Good for you for losing the weight and DO NOT listen to her crap. <3
