Well, I am 5''3 and 13 years old and all my mom can ever talk about is my weight. In summer 06, she told me that i looked to heavy. I was 122 lbs, so i lost 20 pounds. then she complained that I looked to skinny. Right now I am 107 and she keeps bugging me that I look too skinny. She wants me to gain 5 lbs, but I dont want to. I like the way I look right now but my mom doesn't respect that. Whenever I wear a swimsuit, all she can comment on is, "you look too skinny". It's really annoying and I wish she would just let me stay at the weight I feel right at. I just don't want to listen to her complain anymore. What do i do?

luvbug555 answered Wednesday July 18 2007, 2:42 pm: You could make a deal with her. You will go to your doctor and ask the doctor if you are un-healthyly skinny. If you are, then you will ask the doctor for a plan to get a healthy weight, but if your fine and healthy, your mom needs to back off because if the doctor says ur fine then you are.
