Am i being PARANOID? My mum always complains about us being fat...?
Question:
my mum sees how little i put in my plate , then she piles it on for my sister.
my mum also says we are all over weight, but she goes and byes chocolate cakes, chips/fries, cookies, fruit juice, apple pie, meat pies.
and i asked her (forcefully) why she bought that sh.it and she just mumbled that my brother eats the chips (he does - but not everyday)
is she trying to make us FAT? im losing weight - while everyone else is oblivious to my mums plans.
OR AM I JUST BEING PARANOID?
Answers:
You're not being paranoid - it sounds as if your mother, as loving as she may be, is extremely depressed and unhappy with herself. And misery loves company, so she's trying to create some. She could do with some emotional support and maybe professional help to brighten her outlook on life.
i know. she dosnt know how to read nutrition labels. there was a program on the news a couple months ago and we all sat down and watched it. (i learned at school, but my family was clueless) we have so far, eliminated cakes, cookies, chips, and alot more unhealthy foods from our shopping list.
She could be threatened by your transition to womanhood and is trying to sabotage your self-esteem. I doubt she sits up at night plotting this, she just has issues. Can you earn any money babysitting or odd jobs so you can purchase what you want? My parents freaked out when I became a vegetarian and I had to buy my tofu and the like while I was in High School.
