Hi everyone. Recently my mother and I have started to try to lose weight. My primary goal was fitness and health and my mother’s was aesthetics(she wanted to have a better looking body).right from the beginning my father was super supportive of my mom but didn’t treat me the same because he said I was too young to lose weight. I’m 16, terribly unfit and overweight so I don’t think it’s too early or dangerous to want to lose weight for health.
Anyways my dad did things like cook different meals for my mom because she told him she wanted to. On the other hand my dad piled food on my plate because I was apparently stick thin and desperately needed to gain weight, a sentiment my mother completely agreed with and talked about a lot. I eventually gave up fighting against that and just cooked my own food which was healthy and portioned correctly. Using this and exercise I soon began to lose weight and get results.
My mom got results too by eating way less but it was slow. She seemed a bit annoyed when I told her about my progress. Following that she began to openly talk about our weight loss. For instance one night at dinner she looked at me and asked if I should be eating that pasta because it’s high in carbs. Then she began talking about how her weight went down 5 pounds and she had less flab on her thighs. I told her I could see a difference, and she replied with “sorry I can’t say the same for you.”
Because of this happening so often I was really tired of her and just ignored the topic whenever I could. Then she started to get very involved in my eating. She forbade me from making my own lunch, saying that I might burn or cut myself and forced me to eat what she wanted me to eat. For example she would make a small plate of veggies/healthy stuff for herself and tell my dad to go buy In n out for me for “convenience.” And sometimes what really irritated me was that she would say “I’m not losing the fat I want to, I so wish I could give you all of my fat” a lot. I did gain some weight back because of her making me eat more seemed to make her happy. She said she was trying to help me because “You’re still growing and you need all the calories.” Which makes no sense because I stopped growing a long time ago.
Also this is turning into a rant but oh well. She and I are the same height(5’1) and same build. It’s really easy to compare our bodies is what I’m saying. So when she got a flat stomach(her main goal) it was really obvious next to me. My mom took joy from this and bragged about it comparing it my pudgy stomach, which I literally lost and got back when she made me eat so much. Literally idk what to do ugh
