[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Judgment is toxic. Stop it now. You’re judging her and think she’s weak. She’s struggling with her weight,  and you’re so bothered by her statements about healthy eating. Somehow you think the comments are directed at you. I’m thinking she’s making the comments to try to inspire herself.  She’s doing the best she can for herself.

Again, stop with the contempt and judgment. It’s not a good look at any BMI. [/quote]

You are so off-base, that I can tell it is YOU who are projecting, dear. Either you are overweight, or you just realized your "helpful" comments to your loved ones are unwanted and unwelcome, or both.

My mom has literally looked at my plate of dinner and has said, "You shouldn't be eating potatoes at all, let alone white potatoes." Tell me exactly how I'm "judging her" in that scenario, when she is literally judging ME and the food I eat. Go on, tell me that is me judging her, and not the other way around.

I'll wait.

I don’t understand why you can’t just laugh and say “mom! I’m a perfectly healthy weight! Stop picking at my food.”

You seem sooooo bitter. My guess is y’all have bigger issues than food. [/quote]
