My mother saw me for the first time in 6 days and freaked a little and asked if I lost more weight,,then she looked me up and down, told me I look scrawny and then said I look like I need to work out...

Gee, thanks Mom..How am I even supposed to take that?

I had my ovarian cyst surgery with a C-section cut so I havent been able to lift weights since then..I know I need to start..


Sigh as usual lately..

Moms are brutally honest that way. Not always right or even helpful, but they say whats on their mind... Craig

So you're scrawny but you need to work out? No pressure there.

Moms: gotta love 'em because you're not allowed to strangle 'em!

Highest weight: 335 lbs, BMI 50.9
Pre-op weight: 319 lbs, BMI 48.5
Current range: 140-144, BMI 21.3 - 22

175+ lbs lost, maintaining since February 2012

 Moms.  Snort.  I can't imagine my mom calling me scrawny.  But then, she is very petite.  She is like the only small one in my family, I need to check the mail men..

I haven't had my surgery yet (June 16th) and I am already getting comments from my mom.  She has already told me she doesn't want me to change and "get a big head"  WHATEVER MOM.  This is for me...NOT YOU. 

You are doing great and look wonderful! Don't let anyone bring you down.

Sigh is right.

Do your best to tune it out. I don't see my parents often, but most recently my mom asked what size I was wearing and when I told her...she said that I couldn't lose too much more because then we would be the same size. My reply: well, my plan is to be even smaller. (Note: my mom has major BDD. she is much smaller than she thinks she is.) and this is the woman who my entire life told me that I would look so much better if I would just lose x lbs...I've learned that these issues and comments aren't about me, it's about her and her drama and I need to let it go. I'm doing the weight loss FOR me, not her, or anyone else.

Moms...ugh. We love them, but sometimes we wonder why. :)

from all the pictures I see of you you are beautiful.  If you are happy that's all that matters. You will be back on the weights in no time.

Nothing like a mom to keep our feet anchored to the groumd, eh?

What can you do?  Can't live with 'em, can't kill 'em...

Some days you can feel like things are changing all around us and nothing is as it should be. And, then I read something like your post about your mom... it reassures me that I am still on planet earth and the crazy that I am used to is still going on.
