My weight.... family comments....

Post Reply New Topic

I'm 50 lbs overweight and finding it difficult to lose any... this is mostly that I've fallen into a funk and just eat whatever I want, to make myself feel better I guess. It's weird. I get negative comments about how much I eat and instead of doing something to reverse the situation it just makes me eat even more. I don't understand it.

Today, my mother made a comment to me that's got me angry and depressed. She said I look pregnant and that's hard on her to see, because she always wanted me to have a child...

Try to remember weight is not a moral issue. Many good people are overweight. Weight is a health issue, but your health is none of their business it's between you and your doctor.

I recommend the book 'health at every size' to gain a different point of view.

I would say "When you make those comments I get sad then I comfort eat. If you want me to lose weight your comments however well meaning are making me gain weight". I admit I am not tackful, but I am honest.

I am 50 kg overweight or over 100 pounds overweight, and me and my mother cop nasty comments by our family too.

I am sorry I know how hurtful it can be.
