@Seirla posted:My mother didn't tell me I was pretty or smart. My mother used to make fun of me, saying my favorite color was clear, and told me I looked six months pregnant when I was only a size four at 12 years old. I'm still learning to try and move past all of it.
I will try to eat a little more if I can manage it. I am on medication that should help, so I'm hoping that it will work for the diabetes and for a bit of weight loss.
I know exactly what you are talking about! My mother was the same way. I am 5 '10' and I weighed 145 which is normal for a tall woman at my height, and my mom told me i could lose weight and she always called my hair ugly. What you need to know was that we had abusive mothers. Abusive mothers are not real mothers if they do not change. We deserved better. The only way we can beat our abusive mothers is by not becoming like them. Do not let her comments control you or have you. 1,000 calories is way toooo less! you should eat at least 2,000 calories each day. Please eat and your beautiful no matter what. Perhaps you should see a therapist to help you with your past trauma, I did, and I am better now.
