Is it normal my mum preferred what i looked like when i was overweight?

7 Comments

So recently I've lost a bit of weight (like 25kg/55lbs). I wasn't super overweight or anything, around 86kg at my heaviest, but I started exercising and eating healthier (more vegetables, less chips!)
Anyway, since then my mums been really hard on me for it. She always jokingly calls me anorexic, says my waist is grossly skinny, and that I look sickly or like a skeleton. The other day she even said I looked so much better when I was heavier. I don't think I'm too thin since my BMI is 20 (within a healthy range), but I'm not really trying to lose any more weight.
It's really starting to get to me! Does anyone know why she's being this way and is it normal? I thought she'd be happy that I'm healthier now...
I'll put my weight/height/measurements here for reference:
170cm/I think this is around 5'5 or 5'6
58kg/128lbs
Waist: 64cm
Bust: 84cm
Hips: 82cm
I eat around 1800-2000 calories and try to walk 1.5 hours a day

    You're not overweight, and you're not underweight.

    I think maybe your mom is jealous.

      As the only skinny woman at family reunions, I can say that this is a good possibility. I have aunts that have given me shit about my weight. XD

        People can be fickle.

    You seem healthy to me based if those metrics. I am a PT and you sound overall very healthy from what I can tell. You lost a bunch of weight so your mom is not used to seeing you that way. But she will get used to it and you will be healthier in the long run because of it. Don't worry about it mate!

    I would have to see a picture of you to tell you. I will say that a lot of people talk shit when you lose weight. Ive noticed this. For easter my family had a get together and Ive lost about 30 pounds and they were trying to get me to eat cake and shit and I was like no im on a diet. Then all the fat people started burning on me about how I dont need to diet and blahblah. They tell me im too skinny. Its like I actually hurt their feelings or something being on a diet. They legit got mad!

    I try to avoid telling people im on a diet for this reason but its hard when theyre shoving food in your face.

      This happens to me all the fucking time! People don't understand that I'm on a diet and make me feel guilty or awkward because I don't want dessert or my own birthday cake or something. And I'm on a diet all the time so people should now me by now I feel like, but yet they still ask every damn time! So fuckin annoying!
