my mother...
Okay, so I'm 15/f.
I'm a vegetarian for animal rights reasons ONLY
And I'm also on this quest to lose weight. Haha.
So, what bothers me is my mom and how my dad gets easily influenced by her words. Here's the story:
Since like 6 years ago or so, I've been an overweight little kid. But at the beginning of 7th, I lost a lot of weight, thus being a normal girl with a little bit of luggage here and there. And I've pretty much stayed the same until now. Well, my mom always talks about how I should lose a little more weight and how perfect and pretty I'd look if I would loose 10 more pounds and drop to 110lbs. I have been trying to lose those 10lbs but oddly, my mom contridicts what she wants me to do by what she says and does. She'd tell me to exercise in the mornings, and I do on and off [I know, I should keep it constant]. Then she'd tell me that I should start monitoring what I eat and the same day, she'd cook this big, big fattening meal. And if I don't finish it [because I'm full, thank you] my dad would comment on how I didn't finish and my mom would say in this "taunting" kind of childish way "It's becasue she doesn't want to get fat" or something like that. Does anyone know what I'm trying to say? And now my dad thinks I'm a vegetarian to lose weight. And he thinks I eat how much I eat because I want to lose weight. Blah blah blah. I no longer have reasons for doing what I do except "Because I want to lose weight" I'm really getting annoyed at how my mom acts and what she says and I'm annoyed with the whole"Because she doesn't want ot get fat" thing. How do I put it to her NICELY that I'm really starting to get annoyed when she does that???

ok well first of all 120 lbs. is not fat. but your mom is probably telling you to loose more weight or trying to make you feel bad about loosing weight is because mabye shes a little overweight herself and she doesnt want you to look even better? just tell her straight up, say no thats not the reason im not finishing its just because im full. hope this helped

Please dont let your mother make you feel like your not beautiful just the way you are. It should be your decision to diet or to give up meat, It sounds to me that you have forgotten why you are a veg.and instead of the fat meals, ask her to toss a salad with dinner.Please tell her how she is making you feel, ask her to go for a walk with you and talk, maybe it will become a good habbit. Best of luck. Brie
