I understands a mothers need to care for a child, but my mom is rediculous. I am 17 years old, a female, 5'4", and weigh 266lbs. I know I am fat, but I don't mind it. Since I don't watch my weight, I eat whatever I want and I love that. I also love how soft I feel. But my mom is completely the opposite. She tells me mean things about my weight. She told me since I am fat, I will have no friends and nobody will ever love and if I keep eating at this rate, I won't be able to walk in a few years. She also said I will be very ugly, even uglier than now. She should now I have feelings, too. My mom started bothering me with my weight in 9th grade. During 8th grade, my desire for unhealthy food spiked. I stated eating more with larger portions. That eating should in 9th grade when I went from 110 lbs. to 140 lbs. That's when my mom began bugging me. 10th grade is when I really put on weight. On the first day of 10th grade, I weighed 140. On the last day on the last day, I weighed 180 lbs. My mom was even worse then. To make that worse, my weight on the first day of was 180 and on the last day I weighed 236. I am know at 266 lbs. As I said earlier I kind of like being fat. That's why I do everything I do before my mom gets home. Since I live on a private road, have no neighbors for 8 miles and have 7 hours before my mom gets home, I will grab my bikini and go in the pool or tan. Actually, I do everything I do before my mom gets home in either my bikini, crop top, underwear, bellly shirt, you get it. Everything I do I wear one of those. Of course I have to hide most of those and its not easy to fit in ones you wore when you weighed 110 lbs. because I rip through them half the time and I have to dispose of them without getting caught. I also take my car to my local gas station and buy some snacks. I guess this why I got fat. I started this in 8th grade when I take my bike down and used $238 out of my allowance to buy snacks. I did this twice a week. Since my mom has a lot of money, I had a larger allowance, which got me larger amounts of candy, which gave me a larger body, which makes my mom a larger jerk. Sometimes, I want move away for a few years, get as fat as possible, then come back to make my mom angry. Please tell me why she is so mean.

Your mother is not ridiculous, she is ill mannered. 266 pounds is ridiculous. You need to read some books about nutrition so you know how to eat right. Calories have nothing to do with it. You should be eating about 0.4 gram of complete protein per pound of body weight every day, counting only 6 grams per egg, 12 grams per glass of milk, and 24 grams per quarter pound of meat. Cut down on bread products and added sugar. Eat veggies with every meal to keep your bowel movements regular.
Fat is made of carbon and hydrogen. The only way it comes out of the body is if it is turned into carbon dioxide and water and then it comes out through the lungs. So that involves a lot of heavy breathing, and that means jogging or aerobic dancing. Figure on losing one pound per week when you are doing things right.
Well, you are working on the wrong problem. Lose the weight.
I'm not worried about my weight, and yes I know it is unhealthy, but as I said I don't mind being fat. If I weighed 370 lbs. I would go on a diet. I just want to know why my mom is obsessed with my weight and is so insulting.
I applaud you for being a confident woman when society will tell you to fit into a certain mold. You should not be ashamed of your body. BUT you do need to understand that being overweight can take years off of your life. Your mother loves you and wants you to be healthy and is obviously expressing that in a very negative way. Have a talk with her and explain that you are socially comfortable with your body and that it is YOUR body not hers. You also have to ask yourself why you get so much comfort from eating. Eating disorders come in many forms. Eating to deal with stress, depression, loneliness etc. is an eating disorder. If you find yourself eating for those reasons then it is important to seek help for that because it is an addiction just like drugs.
You go girl! Love the body you are in! If I was put in your position I would absolute GORGE myself on food while she's gone. Start eating until it hurts. Once you hit 300 pounds, stop. Gain more weight and she what she has to say. I'm figuring in about high school. In a few years you should be able to leave and do stuff on your own. It IS your body NOT hers. She should be happy for your decision. Maybe you should talk to her about it. Tell her your feelings and maybe add some dramatic effects. Hope this helps you out:)
I never said I wanted to lose weight, I just wanted to know how I can get my mom to stop insulting my weight.
