[quote=Anonymous]My mother doesn't eat real food -- like meat, potatoes, dairy products, vegetables, fruit.
She skips meals, drinks lots of black coffee and then occasionally eats three donuts or an entire box of sugary cereal.  She has osteoporosis , really dry skin and hair and some kind of weird vitamin deficiency where her fingernails curl up -- but she's thin!  So therefore she has the answer to the obesity epidemic! Everyone should starve themselves until they're about to pass out and then eat a box of sugary cereal!

One year she bought me a scale for Christmas and forced me to weigh myself in the living room in front of all of the relatives who had come to our house for Christmas, and then commented all day on how fat I was!  She sent me a subscription to Weight Watchers magazine when I lived in a group house with a bunch of other people,l which I found mortifying and shameful.

I'm now in a twelve step program for food addicted people slowly undoing the years of horrible messages I got about food growing up.  I've lost fifty pounds since this summer.  At Thanksgiving she literally said nothing to me.  If she's not fat-shaming me, apparently we have nothing to talk about.[/quote]
