'My mom always reminded me that she was thin until she had me.'
"My mother found some jeans from her twenties, and when I tried them on, she chortled that she had been smaller in her twenties than I was in my teens.""My mom straight up told me she was prettier, skinnier, and younger-looking than me when she was my age. She told my red-headed sister that her hair was ugly. I regularly heard that she passed as 'under age' on public transport when she was in her twenties — that she was anorexic in her teens.
"I never confronted her about her words. We have a better relationship now, even though I still struggle with body dysmorphia." —"My mom was very beautiful back in her day and had a super hot bod, but she let herself go quite a bit after her kids. She weighed close to 300 lbs when I was growing up. I remember being chubby my whole childhood because she used to overfeed me. She'd also say she was much thinner than I was.
With my mom, it wasn’t necessarily a jealousy type of thing. She was projecting her own insecurities on me, and that bothered me very much. I still think about it every now and then." —"I thought I was the only one who experienced this. As a kid, I was always underweight. Around ages 12–13, I gained some weight and ended up on the thinner end of 'healthy.' My mother would always make snide remarks about my body — like my butt is too big, and my thighs are too fat.
