So I (35F) gained a lot of weight with two kids and bad mental health. I recently lost quite a bit - 15 kilos / 33 pounds, enough to be overweight but not obese anymore. I’ve now hit a plateau though I still have 10 kilos to lose and have been at the plateau for like 6 months.
My mother today commented on my weight loss, congratulating me with my dad, to say that they were very happy for me, that it must have been difficult.
Which it was !
But I just walked from the room and didn’t address their comment. 1) my mother is the P0 in all my various eating disorders if I’m being honest. Not horrible stuff but past generation sh*t. 2) I feel very unseen, being slim seems to be the ultimate goal, and nothing else matters. yet no one has asked if I was ok while I was putting on 20 kilos while juggling work and two small kids 3) equally, the comment was positive and maybe not commenting on a weight loss which generally is positive in society would have been weird for parents ?
Anyways - how do you guys handle people commenting on weight loss when it’s positive ? Am I being too harsh here ?
