Mom

Every time my mother and I video call, she always says i need to lose weight."" I hate it, it's making me feel gross about myself.I know who I was when I 24 I was skinny and I was also very focused on my looks and validation now I'm 29 with my first baby her second grandbaby in 24 years and and all I want to do is love, hug and feed my baby. But my mother makes me feel bad about myself and my weight. I'm 8 months pp with serious pp rage and depression

Just tell her to stop bringing it up and if she doesn’t I’d cut the call short whenever she does until she gets it.

Mine made a singular comment about my weight after my daughter was born and she hasn't had any contact since. (There's ALOT of other issues but that kinda tipped the iceberg over). Your body made a baby, your body created a beautiful baby and you have to be proud. So what if you have weight? I do too, I used to be anorexic and hated weight but now I got a stomach I'm slowly loosing, but who cares.. my man loves my body, and I love it because it nurtured my child for 9 months. It gave life to my child. Yours did the same. Your body grew so that baby could survive. Be proud babe, your mother needs to either RESPECT you and the PP you're going through or she can get cut off for a while until you get an apology. 🤷‍♀️you don't deserve to feel disgusted in your own skin after making a baby. I bet you're stunning too. She's just jealous. ❤️

@Jennifer sometimes they don't get it. They think that you're just being rude and won't stop harassing you until you explode.

Stop talking to her

I was 120 before I had my first baby and due to HG messing up my metabolism, my liver, and doing whoever knows what then developing long covid were I could do absolutely nothing without passing out for two and a half years, I’m currently at 290 and while I absolutely hate myself and want to go hungry, I don’t because I know my kids need me. I don’t exercise like I used to, I don’t go for bike rides or walk 15-30K steps per day, but I’m there for my kids.

My mom told me I needed to lose weight in order to keep my man 🤣 along with other things I “needed” to do for him to stay…I was 155 at the time she said this in high school I was 135 max when me and him met I was 145 so it’s not like I had put on a bunch of weight. I was 23 at this time I’m now 28 and just had my second baby 6 almost 7m ago and right at 170. You do what you need to take care of you and baby. You can lose the weight any time if it bothers you but your focus shouldn’t be on that
