Parents comments throwing me off

Hi everyone,

I’m in a difficult stage in my life where (and I have my reasons) I’m having to live at home. I’ve been home about 7 months now after having lived with an ex partner for six years. About October time I really started taking my weight loss journey seriously again as I fell off for about three months after the break up.

Since then, my mum has been regularly commenting on my appearance. Yes, I made the mistake of not moving in silence with her. So whilst most of the comments are positive saying the weight loss is really visible. If I wear anything other than black leggings “that’s not flattering- you need to just wear black”. Like tonight, I am innocently making a coffee with my back turned “don’t wear that cardigan on a date- it makes you look five stone heavier”.

The comment tonight was really random and completely unprovoked. And it’s just made me feel like crying. I’m so proud of what I have achieved in my journey so far and still very much going. I’m fed up with her comments. She is equally as pessimistic about my dating life too. I work from home too so she’s constantly coming into the room where I’m working, talking to me. I’m just around her so much, my work is already stressful and trying to maintain a weight loss journey with all this going on is making me miserable.

I don’t really know what I’m hoping to achieve by this post but. There must be several of you that have been in a similar situation. Maybe some guiding talk would help? Who knows
