My mom keeps talking about my weight !?
first off, im 5'5 124 pounds - healthy! my moms 5'7? 114 pounds okay so i dont know why but my mom always makes comments about my weight.more so when we go trying on clothes. ill take a 27 in jeans, she says uhh.. i think you'll need a 29 atleast. i was like "no i've always been a 27" shes like okay go try it on. so i did, it was too big, i reach for a 26, too big, i reach for a 25, perfect ( i like my jeans abit tight, but still fits nicely ) she looked at me and said "when have you been a 25?" i said "i dont know.. it just fits best" shes like "well their jeans run big so you're probably not that size" then we go to pay for it. the lady says are these the shorts you want? im like yupp my mom looks at the tag and sees its a small (there pj shorts) shes like "no you need like a medium or large." then im like "NO. a small" the thing that bugs me is she'll say it infront of people and the casheers just look uncomfortable and look at me.No matter what size i pick up, she thinks i need 2 sizes bigger, its like im pretty sure i know my own body better than you. and she says it in a way so it seems like its "a mothering concern" but she says some pretty mean things. I'm feeling better about my weight because i've lost a few pounds, id like to get down to around 120 ish. it also bugs me because she always trys to buy me fast food, like ice cream and i have to say no. help, how can i get my mom to shut up over my weight? it just makes me angry.
My mom keeps bothering me about my weight?
She seems to think I have gained substantial weight in just a week or two. Last week and the week before, my mom and sister were hounding me for being too thin and wanted me to gain 10 pounds. I'm 5'9 and 127 pounds but look a bit thinner because a lot of my weight is muscle. I didn't want to gain weight so I kept eating normally and exercising and haven't put on any weight, obviously. As recently as last Wednesday they kept telling me I was too thin. Yesterday, however, my mom said "Looks like you're putting on weight in the right places. You're looking good." and says I don't have to gain weight anymore. My sister thinks the same. I'm so confused because it's been not even a week since they were saying I was too thin. I haven't gained and even if I had, it would not be substantial enough to make a noticeable difference on my body in just a week. I've struggled with my weight over the past year and they've been really inconsistent the whole time. My mom kept going back and forth last year with saying I could lose some weight to saying I looked fine and then I lost weight and she couldn't make up her mind on whether I was too thin or not and then she decided for awhile that I was and then a week later I'm not. It frustrates me because I'm trying to just maintain my weight here and one minute my mom is trying to shove food down my throat and constantly making sure I have an excess amount of calories and the next she doesn't care how little I eat. What should I do?
My mom tells me Im gaining weight?
Aw hun, I know that it's hard to hear someone tell you something about your body - No one should ever comment on your body. How old are you? If you are able to move out - you should move out. Do you live with your mom only? Do you have any siblings? Is there a school counselor you can speak with? Just continue to express your self-respect by telling her that you do not appreciate her comments. Get a job, and start buying your own healthy food that you can snack on when you need to. If it continues - talk to another adult that you are close with and ask for help. Keep a journal to write in about how many things you are great at doing, and talk to your friends about things that you like and are interested in :) Try to keep your spirits up, and try not to let her get to you (easier said that done, I know). I really feel you - my mom kind of did some similar things to me before, but not straight up telling me I'm fat (I'm not)... just unwanted body comments. Any unsolicited body comments are inappropriate.
Why Does My Mother Care So Much About My Weight?
I can't go to her about my 7th grade issues, because at the same time, I was cutting myself. She found out and threatened to have me committed to where she works, a mental hospital. My mom doesn't stop to think that maybe me and all my siblings have weight problems because she has a weight problem, 3/4 of my grandparents had weight problems. Maybe it's partially in our genes. She tries to tell me I'm unhealthy. I walk two miles a day and eat healthier than any other teen I know. What's unhealthy is her constant yo yo dieting which has given me a skewered vision of everyone around me. I don't understand why she cares so much about my weight. I mean, I understand that she wants me to be healthy, but shaming me and coercing me into doing it isn't helping. She gets mad at me if I eat three healthy meals in a day. If I eat one normal meal and she finds a bag of 94% fat free snack sized popcorn, she calls me fat. I have finally come to a point where I am confortable with my size,
My mom makes comments about my weight?
The questions says it,my mom constantly makes comments about my weight and it really bothers and annoys me.When I was younger it used to bother me alot and now that I am 18 it still does sometimes.I really would like it if my mom would stop calling me FAT and making comments about my weight.She tells me all the time that men dont like fat girls all they want to do is use them for sex.I am 5'7 and I wear a size 14,I dont cosider my self extremely fat but I do admit I am overweight.I lost 15 pounds so far and plan on losing another 30 or so.Also another thing that bothers me is that my mom constantly gossips about me with my sisters whom are younger than me.Shes always calling me a fat ***** behind my back and saying things about my apperance.It also annoys me when people say we look like sisters,but i think its the fact that my mom weighs less than me,because if you were to compare us facially it would be evident that shes alot older than me.Idk what to do this frikin lady annoys me.And everytime she says something I am tempted to curse her *** out.I FEEL LIKE A TICKING TIME BOMB with this woman.I am seriously considering moving out but my college tuition is so expensive.help please.thanks.
My mom keeps threatening to send me to....?
a therapist. She says I am depressed and she is about to put me on anti-depressants. Truth is I'm not depressed I just can't stand to be around her and my siblings. My dad and step-dad are currently working in Iraq and I have no clue what to do about my mom. I don't want to go get counceling so what do I do???? HELP please!
Mom Won't Let Me Lose Weight?
Okay, I'm 14, 5'5, 150lbs. I really don't look like it, the fat is well distributed. But I should get to the story. When I was young I spent most of my time with my grandma because mom worked two jobs. My grandma is a very southern woman and I would have biscuits and gravy for breakfast every morning and fried pork chops or something of that matter for dinner. It wasn't very healthy, and it probably didn't help my current situation. Now I stay with my mom. My mom is a bodybuilder so you think She would want me to be healthy but that's not the case, every time I bring up a diet she gets very angry with me. I mentioned wanting to try a 10 day smoothie cleanse or a workout program but she refuses to let me lose weight or try to be healthy. Why is she like this? I just want to lead a healthy lifestyle and every time I ask her not to buy brownies and chips for my school lunch she ignores me and shows up with them. I mean I can't starve myself and I have to eat. I get hungry. Why won't she let me be healthy? What can I do to convince her to let me be healthy?
