[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Same! My mom has disordered eating and controlled what I ate by making comments. Snacks were easily available to me so it was more her comments that were harmful. My weight was brought up by the pediatrician even though I was not really overweight. My mom enrolled me in weight watchers at a young age, maybe 5th or 6th grade. I was 5 feet tall and 114 pounds. She finally stopped saying "a minute on the lips, a year on the hips". She still says things like, "I never drink my calories".

[quote=Anonymous]I did this.  In fact, I am 43 and my mom brought up a candy wrapper indiscretion of mine when I was 5 at Thanksgiving this year.  It stems from her own disordered eating and yes, I have struggled with food my whole life.  You sound overly controlling with carbs/sweets.[/quote][/quote]

Actually you were overweight.  An 11 yr girl old that is 5 ft tall and 114 lbs is in 91st percentile for BMI, anything over 85th percentile is considered overweight.  I’m not saying your mom handled things well or correctly, but to say she had zero reason for concern isn’t true.
