RANT: She will NOT steal my progress!
I have gotten to a point where I remember that most of the time, but sometimes it's like I forget. But my mom is not going to give me what I want and need from her. She can't do it. It's not in her.
It sounds like you're a great mother. I'm always amazed when people somehow become great moms when they grew up without good mothering. I mean, our mother is our first model of how to be a mother. I really admire people that are able to become great moms even though their first model was not so good.
I'm sorry you have to deal with a mom like that. I'm glad, though, that it sounds like you are dealing. You're not letting her attitude affect your attitude. and I think that's all we can really do because we can't change out moms.

my spiritual adviser JUST told me this yesterday... that my mom is NOT gonna love me the way I want so it's best to just let it go and be cordial and tolerate each other as we've been doing..
She's from 339 to 200 as of 6/14/2012.. SOO proud of my bigbabygirl

Hi all
not sure if you have ever been to or been a part of Al Anon ( dont mean to promote) but what they talk about it "loving detatchment" where its so important to separate yourself from the toxic person. even if the person is clean and sober they can still have the traits of manipulation etc.. so very hurtful. in some ways i can empathize sounds like you have done some amazing work on yourself! nicely handled!
As far as the divas are concerned she should be ashamed. You are teaching them healthy habits which is what they need at this time. Young girls should not be dieting they should be learning good habits and eating healthy. I think that is half the problem with women. they ruin their metabolism early with unhealthy dieting when they were young.
Both of my children were chubby, one (my 18 YO daughter) still is. My 16 YO son really changed the way he ate after health class in 7th or 8th grade. I always told him that if he ate healthy when he grew that he would thin out. He is now 6'5" (at least) and weighs 190. He eats healthy most of the time and exercises a lot (biking, running, free weights). My daughter is eating better and better all the time. She is picking up pointers from my recent changes and I feel there is positive thngs coming down the road. --- your divas will be fine.
