My mom has always been obsessed with my figure, im never just pretty. Its always you sure would be pretty if you would..... Insert diet plan here. Now granted Im not skinny and leggy. I am well aware that Im not perfect and could use gym time. Ok lets face it, Im fat. I know this. But every freakin day she is constantly yapping on and on about some fad diet that I should be trying. Today she told me I should order nutrisystem and have here and waiting for me when I have the baby, so I "can start it as soon as I walk in the door from the hospital." I was tearing up listening to her on the phone, but she never skipped a beat. "H you can be so pretty after you loose your weight." Normally i just hang up and move on, but today she really hurt me. The worst part is she doesnt notice or care. Im not her perfect vision of beauty.

I'm so sorry you have to deal with that, it's not fair and it's not right of her to put you through that. I think you need to seriously say something to her, because if she does it to you she may start saying similar things to your LO. She needs to know there are boundries and she can't cross them. It's not her body, not her life. Aside from that, no, you can't necessarily start NutriSystem or whatever after you get home, especially if you are BFing, you need the calories. She needs to take a giant step back, and unfortunately the only person who can tell her that and have a hope of getting through to her is you. Maybe write a letter if you don't feel like you can say it to her face without getting upset?
Hugs!!

I know it can be stressful but try to remember that she prolly has her own issues and that's why she is taking them out on you. You are perfect no matter what size you are. The only thing I can say is to stay healthy! You can be beautiful at a 2 or a 22!!! Or whatever size!

My mom also gives me a hard time about my weight, although she is less obvious. I know my parents are very critical of my weight gain, which makes me in turn feel critical of myself. My mom tends to be obsessed with weight in general, always mentioning how she lost 2 lbs or gained 3 lbs, etc. I've gotten to the point where I told her I don't want to talk about anyone's weight, including mine or hers.
I'm sorry you have to listen to that, stay positive!

You should tell your mom how it makes you feel. Also tell her your beautiful no matter what size you are. If she talks to you like that again, end the conversation. You don't need to deal with that.
