[Venting] 18 lbs down, but my Mom....

I'm on Day 29 of Whole30. I know it isn't intended as a weight loss program, but I'm feeling great on it and I've lost 18 lbs. I'm now two pounds away from onederland!!!

My mother has always been very invested in/concerned with my appearance, especially my weight. Seeing me today, she said "You're doing great - I can see it! Now it's just this--" and she grabbed my thigh. I know it was intended to be supportive (like "you're on your way!", maybe?), but man - losing almost twenty pounds, with a goal of losing 60 total - it's HARD. And for her to evaluate my body like that... I really did not like that.

She does the whole moralizing food thing - "bad" foods and "good" foods (grapes and nuts are "bad", cereal is good???). If I had a busy day and said "gosh, I forgot to have lunch today" she will say "awesome! Yeah I only had a piece of toast." It's messed up!!!

I decided a few days ago to extend to 60 days, but with today being 29 and tomorrow being 30, and my mom being a b****... tonight this lifestyle change isn't feeling very exciting. I'll keep on keeping on, though, because her temperamental BS isn't worth me losing momentum. UGH
