Well, parents always have a vision for their children whether it is right or wrong and communicate in wrong ways at times.
Controlling your meals seems a bit extreme especially since you are not really even big....right? Has your mother always tried to control your eating or is it something new and maybe she has noticed the recent gain of yours along with the increased appetite?
Are you interested it gaining a lot or just having fun with it as a new experience and you are enjoying it? I would say take it slow and have fun and try and talk to your mother in a constructive way with regard to your body and how a little weight gain doesn't bother you the way it might her....because everyone is different! Maybe even have her try and think about something she may have done in the past that her mother didn't approve of but she did because it was her own decision and wasn't hurting anyone else.
Well good to know that she backed off a bit. Like Chubbyhoney said, it looks like she is projecting her issues with food on to you and your father. So hopefully she gets better herself.
You could tell her Your scared of of starvation. I was to thin then I lost 10lb at boy scout camp in a week. I promised my self I would never be that thin again. You said You were anorexic once. I think that's a good reason to want to gain a little
