[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ease up on OP. She is trying. Not easy[/quote]

Yeah, but let's be honest. She sort of created this mess. It's like if she pushed her kids in the deep end without teaching them to swim, then getting mad at them when they don't trust her enough to grab the rope she's nagging them to grab onto.

My parents didn't teach me about nutrition or moderation. we drank soda like water. Literally. I never was offered water as a child. My parents thought our city's water tastes funny so we had chocolate milk or soda. All the time, meals, snacks, in between, in my lunchbox at school... talk about a sugar addiction. Then when it caught up with me (less active lifestyle in college, having to study more) my mom berated me for gaining weight and getting fat. I don't blame my parents for me eating chips while I studied at midnight, but I wish they hadn't taught me that it was ok to have chips and soda whenever I wanted it when I was a kid.

I could totally be projecting, but OP is saying some of the things my mom said to me. It does a number on you, having your mom talk to you that way, especially when she didn't give you the tools to prevent the problem in the first place. [/quote]
