Emotional abuse with weight loss?

It's been a pretty ugly year for me with a family fallout in July/August; when it happened I wanted to take charge of myself because at the time I felt like a spector in my own life. Since then I've been doing a lot of skipping and I can jussst fit into my old shorts again - horray!

The only problem is that my mother isn't very supportive, not that she doesn't want me to feel good about my body - rather she makes me feel bad about myself when she's trying to be encouraging. I get that she's a healthcare professional but for two years she was pretty rude about my body, criticising me under the guise of "health" when at the same time she called me fat behind my back; isn't too crazy about body positivity (which has been helping me find my path for weight loss).

How do you deal with people who are trying to be helpful when they're just rude? I'm wearing these shorts and now I'm not sure I even want her to see me in them cause I'm afraid she'll hurt my feelings - she even bought me a set of scales, when she know that's not how I've been going about this.
