[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]She doesn’t want you to make her mistakes. [/quote]

You are likely destined to be as big as her. She is trying to warn you. Heed it.[/quote]
And if we are being honest.... who knows the best how to get heavy? Who has first hand experience? Who has BTDT? Overweight people. She is warning you not to do what she does. She sees herself in you, and you see yourself in her. 
You think a 110lbs woman knows how not to get fat? She might claim she knows, but the fact is, she probably doesn't have two genetic markers for obesity and she has high insulin resistance. Or she has never, ever faced the issue, and talks just like you mom, with the buffalo wing around her mouth at all times.[/quote]

No, she's not warning me not to do what she does. That would require self-awareness and self-reflection. She literally is eating a Buffalo wing while telling me what not to eat. If there was some humility, grace or awareness involved, I would feel differently. [/quote]
Is she otherwise a good mom and grandma?[/quote]
