My grandma can't stop bothering me about my weight?
In general, I hate talking about my weight. It's a topic that always makes me feel uncomfortable, in secure, and sometimes sensitive. Last year my grandma (over the phone because she lives across the country, and I rarely see her) brought up a subject about my weight for the very first time. I assume she probably spoke about this to my mom for sometime, but did not bother to talk to me about it before. I was shocked, but it made me feel so uncomfortable about it. For that time being I lost 70lbs (no exaggeration) since then, but during my progress, she still can't stop talking about my weight, and what I should do to lose it,etc. to my mom over the phone (I tend to eavesdrop). My mom told her that I was working on it, she seems to acknowledge it though every time when she calls my mom, my grandma always brings up "my weight" topic. Even to this day, and even after all the hard work I've done, I still don't feel comfortable talking about my weight. I understand my grandma cares about me, but I am getting really annoyed about her talking about my weight, and I'm doing fine on my own. I do want to talk to her about it, but I'm afraid it's going to be a put off of me being rude. I do have an urge to write her a letter about it, but I'm not really sure at the same time.
Do you have a friend of family member that is always barefoot? If so what did it bother you?
Looking at your past questions, it appears that you either have a foot fetish or a foot obsession. Take off your shoes and enjoy yourself already!!!
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.
Why does my mom bother me so much?
Is it just you or does she annoy everyone? I don't know your mom but some people are just annoying and there is not much you can do about it. If it's just you that finds her annoying then, you should just relax and try to see her in a different way than you usually do. Like try to have a more open mind about her personality and try not to be so judgemental. Everybody is different and you should at least respect that.
How can I tell my mom to stop making comments on my weight?
It takes a LONG time to do what is called "extinguishing" a behavior, and extinguishing one in human beings can be hard because humans can get a self-satisfying "rise" out of our own physiological beings... we do behaviors, generally speaking, to get some type of reward. Please remember, one person's passion is another person's poison, so you have to consider what is making your mom "enjoy" being unloving toward you.Your weight is fine, even a bit light perhaps for your age, even though you are all of five-feet tall. I am especially sorry to hear you do no feel close to your mom, as it is nicer to be a teenager when we feel at least supported emotionally by out mothers.So, extinguish a behavior, you withdraw any type of reward she may be getting from it... if it tends to hurt you (her comments), stop showing ANY sign of being hurt. Instead, if you can, quietly leave the scene... suddenly remember that you have to do your homework.If she badgers you and won't let up until you say something, tell her 'You're right,"I'll see what I can do about that. Now I have to do some home work." Then do some. Don't let her take your life, your moments, your happiness, your good feelings, away.And if you are feeling down about some things, try to find ways to make yourself happy. What makes you happy? I like one TV show, one video game, and following one particular person on Facebook who is very funny and smart. He lets me (and several of his followers -we all went to the same high school) get our sarcastic sides out with light kidding while learning something about the world of art that he inhabits.If feeling down gets to be an all-the-time thing, go talk to the school nurse or counselor about possibly being depressed and see if you can get some counseling support.One thing working in your favorite, is some of the nicest and most successful people I know came from some unhappy homes when they were younger. They made good friends, studied hard, usually while working a part time job to carry their schooling bills, and made it in life. You can too. Homes we start in are just the beginning!
How is my mom the same weight as me?? and why does it hurt me so?
(yes if anything this is more psychological than diet&fitness) Im 15, im 5'3 and 130 pounds. Ive struggled with my weight when i was younger but now im pretty average, even slim according to most people. Throughout my life, my mom was always a slim woman but thankfully weighed more than me. shes 5'7, and shes 39 years older than I am. Throughout most of my young life she has been 140 pounds. Today she mentioned to me that, without even trying, shes now 130 pounds. O.o how how... is this woman, one who is so much older wiser bigger than me.. the same weight as me? how can my mommy, be the same weight as me? Shes much taller, and her boobs are like Ds and i have Bs. either theres something wrong with me, or with her. yet, she still looks "Average" to me. and I also look "Average" how is this possible? even my doctor was surprised to know that i weighed a lot more than i looked. Today...unexplainably, I started to whimper at the idea that its come to a point in my life when im the same weight as my mom, but in my brain, this was gonna happen when i was 20, not 15.
