[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You are judging her for being heavy, and she is judging you for being on the way to overweight. Two peas in the pod.[/quote]

I don't judge her. At all. I don't hyper-observe and comment on what she eats and "advise" her on her diet or exercise habits.

But what, she can come at me with all that, and I'm supposed to be happy about it? I'm supposed to listen to this advice literally dispensed around a mouthful of Buffalo wing (this actually happened)?[/quote]

OP you’re missing the entire point. Look at your post. You are absolutely judging her. “I’m supposed to listen to this advice literally dispensed around a mouthful of Buffalo wing.” Your contempt for her is oozing in your posts.

No one is telling you to be happy about it. Just stop judging her. She’s doing the best she can. She struggles with eating. It’s not a moral failing on her part. When she shares it, whether she’s eating a Buffalo wing or a piece of celery, you just say, “Okay, thanks mom.” And move on with your life. Just drop the drama. [/quote]
