Re: Nadas and Weight Loss

[Guest guest]

This reminded me of my weight loss efforts when I was in my teens.

I remember my mother giggling and saying " oh, you teenagers are

always trying to starve yourselves, I could always get you to eat by

buying frozen pizzas " . She always sabotaged my diets, making sure

dinners were fatty, the only snacks were pizzas and french fries and

potato chips...this makes me so angry even now, I wasn't obese, but

the extra 10 pounds that i carried around during high school really

hurt my confidence, and she did this deliberately, every time. What

kind of mother (and she was a nurse, for crying out loud) never

teaches her children anything about healthy diets? I know it was a

way of controlling my identity, of having me exactly as she wanted

me...and i wonder if because she is overweight she needed me to be

too
