We have a big party coming up this Saturday and lots of family members will be there.
We all love to eat but I'm by far the largest in my family. My mother in particular tends to jab at my weight. I want to enjoy myself without being rude to anyone commenting so, do y'all have some advice for me in how to deal with my family?
The old “Almond Mum” syndrome. I have found the more you accept yourself the less it matters. It’s difficult especially when it’s your Mum and it’s easier said than done. It’s taken me 40 years but I’ve worked hard on myself and recently, my Mum said to me “is the jab still working then or?” (I had to lose weight for health see bio) and I said “it’s stalled but you know what if I never lose any more I’m happy at this weight” she replied “really?” In shock that I was un phased. I smiled thinking back to the support I’ve had from those who have embraced my weight, or supported me regardless and said “yeh! Very happy!” It felt very powerful.
It’ll be different for everyone, but just know you have plenty of people who support you and see you where you are xx
