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

Care and sympathy

Today, after taking vacation time to visit her, my mom told me she was glad I was leaving so she could get back to her diet. I'm prediabetic and have been trying to manage the condition. She ordered dessert at every meal and was the only one in the family who did. FML

Today, I decided to go on a diet to lose some weight before summer. This was followed by the arrival of a giant parcel full of candy from my mother. FML

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

Today, I told my mom I was finally going on a diet. She let me know how proud she is of me fighting temptation, by making my favorite cookies and dinner. FML

Today, I received a box in the mail from my mom which I assumed was a care package. It was a scale to encourage me to lose weight. FML

Today, I woke up early and spent hours baking and icing a three-tier cake for my friend's eighteenth birthday, which is this evening. I just found out my mother threw it in the compost bin because she's on a diet and it was "tempting" her. FML

Today, my co-worker offered me sweets, then chocolate and then biscuits. Repeatedly. She knows I'm trying to diet for my wedding. She does this every day. 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, for Mother's Day, I surprised my Mother with the news I that I'll be visiting in June. The last time we got to visit was 4 years ago, we live 4000 miles apart and it's a very expensive trip. She said, "No, come next June, I want to lose some more weight before seeing you." FML

Today, I found out my boyfriend's mother has invented a new kind of cake and named it after me: not because it's delicious, but because of the amount of fat in it. FML

Doesn't sound like your mom's being very sweet

Maybe she's saying that you need to sweeten up? Don't give her such a frosted response- appreciate her kindness, even if it's Devil's Food!

Congrats on the weight loss! For the record, cakes freezes well. Cut it in slices, wrap each slice well and freeze. One piece of cake once in a while won't kill your diet the way an entire cake will. OR take it to work with you. Your coworkers will love it.

Maybe try making a cake with her. Show her how to substitute applesauce instead of all that sugar! Hopefully, you can help her tweak some recipes so she can be healthier with you! :) Good luck op! Congrats on reaching those healthy goals!

Depending on how much you weighed before the weight loss and the amount of weight you have lost, she may just be worried that you are too thin. Moms are always worried about their children.

Sounds like she's jealous you lost so much weight. Don't worry about it OP and keep up the good work. :)

Won't hurt you to have a slice. As long as you don't over do it.

Aaaaannnnndddd in to the trash can it goes. That stinks that your own mother wont support you in your weight loss journey. To be honest if that was my mom she would lose coming into my house privileges. I would meet her in neutral territory.
