so i was on the phone with my mom and she was telling me about a diet
no, excuse me, she made specifically sure to call it a lifestyle change
where you eat normally for five days, but fast for two days
i'm not putting up with this shit anymore
to i kinda straight up told my mom that that shit was a fad diet, and that the diet industry is a gigantic scam and she just falls into that shit
because of her own issues with body image
she told me she finds fat people disgusting and she doesnt want to be disgusting like them
and i told her that that was a disgusting attitude to have because she is literally calling people who are overweight obese na dthat is not cool with me
like i remember specifically this one time i was in highschool, and i think i plurked about this before but whatever im doing it again
but this one time i was in highschool, after i gained a little weight, and we both went clothes shopping together
and the whole time we were in the store she just kept berating me and insulting me, calling be obese and disgusting
and berating me the entire trip home, and AT home
i know that comes from her being obese as a child and being made fun of constantly
ut that isnt cool to project that type of thing onto your kids (me)
and it's not healthy to have these body image issues for literally half a century
i told her she should probably learn to love herself for who she is instead of falling prey to these fad diats one after the other that literally do not work
and i sent her a video laci green made recently (that she refused to watch but i hope she actually does)
keep in mind!!!! this whole time i was speaking to her she kept saying
"what did you get really big and obese? do you need a wheelchair to get around??"
second of all, why does that even fucking matter?
what, are you going to hate me and find your own daughter repulsive just because she is heavy??
which, and it's kind of hard to admit it to myself, she probably already does lmfao
but this is a thing i will absolutely no longer tolerate
yeah, she is cool and everything
but at that point who gives a shit
the negatives outweight the positives
and i think i am going to apply this attitude with every single shitty thing she says/does/thinks
because i am done being a push over, and i think i have grown enough to grow passed the shitty things she drilled into my brain
like passive aggressiveness, cattiness, and other shit
the way she handles some situations can be handled better if she just sits down and thinks
but i cant tell her to think during fights and stuff because she is convinced
that i am using "reverse psychology" on her
it was always like that. whenever i brought up a point to her that literally made logical sense, she told me i was using reverse psychology and that i was being a bad person
