THIS PART IS TO THE MODERATORS. I KNOW I DELETED AND REPOSTED THIS QUESTION MORE THAN ONCE BUT I REREAD IT AND I SAW THAT THE PREVIOUS ONES DID NOT MAKE SENSE AND I WOULD NOT GET ANSWERS I NEEDED. SO I DELETED AND REPOSTED SO NOW IT MAKES SENSE. THANKS
I am reposting because the way I worded this does not make sense and I want people to give me answers for all questions below. Thanks: Here is the story again: On August 25, 2006 Rebecca was with her mom and her mom said; Rebecca you are very thin, I am concerned, I dont want you to lose weight;. Rebecca then asked her mom; Why do you think I should gain weight?; And her mother said; No I dont think you should gain I just think you should not lose;. However, on August 26, 2006 Rebecca told her friends the story and asked her friends is my mom saying I am to thin; and her friends said; No she is not. All she is saying is that you are very thin and she does not want you to lose any weight and she EVEN TOLD YOU SHE DOES NOT THINK YOU HAVE TO GAIN WEIGHT. MY QUESTION(s): (1) Do you agree/concur with Rebecca friends; (2) Also because this happened on August 2006 and it is now December 2006 should Rebecca still think about it; and (3) And now that it is December 2006 (after all this time) should Rebecca still go by the fact that her mother does not think she has to gain weight? AND WHY DO YOU FEEL THIS WAY WITH YOUR ANSWERS."

Cleopatra answered Friday May 25 2007, 10:51 am: Rebecca's mom just wanted her not to think about her weight and worry about it.She just wanted Rebecca to stop being paranoid about her weight.
(1)Rebecca's friends were right.Her mother doees not want her to purpously loose/gain weiiight.
(2)It is good for Rebecca to think about and understand things but she is over analising what her mother said.She shoullld stop thinking about it.
(3)Rebecca shoulld stop worrying so much about her weight.Rebecca is not abnormally underweight/overweight.She should just live a healthy lifestyle and stop worrying about her weight.
Please tell me in feedback why getting a good answer to this question is so important to you.
xx2momma2xx answered Sunday December 17 2006, 10:39 am: 1.)It is all in the way Rebecca thinks about it. Her friends are not right OR wrong, they are simply stating what they THINK. (Opinion is not fact.)
2.)If Rebecca is still thinking about it now in December (4 months later...), it is because she is upset about it, or has a problem or questioning about it.
And 3.)If Rebecca is conserned about what her mother thinks, she should talk to her mother about it again. People's thoughts change all the time, and her mother might be thinking something completeley different.
The reason I say all this is because it doesn't really matter what other people think about you. The only thing that matters is what you think about yourself. If Rebecca thinks she is too thin and needs to gain weight, she should gain a little weight. If she thinks she is not thin enough and needs to lose weight, she should lose weight. (But she should only gain or lose weight in a healthy way.) It does not matter what her friends or family think, they are only stating their opinions and should love her no matter what she decides. But if it is still really bothering her that her mother that her mother made the statement, she needs to go to her mother and ask her mother how she feels, and why she feels this way about Rebecca. I really hope that helped. [ xx2momma2xx's advice column | Ask xx2momma2xx A Question ]
