that is just stupid

Just make her your workout buddy! :)

Great motivation for you OP, but also good to spare your mom that kind of commentary. She may already want to lose weight, but either way not need that kind of blow

You should help her if she just recently gained that much weight. There most likely is an underlying problem, but in regards to yourself, I wouldn't worry about it. My mother is obese and everyone kept telling me that it runs in my genes and that I would be big. I'm almost 32, have had two kids and I'm not obese. Even without much exercise or diet.

heavy weights, less reps. and protein. eggs in the morning, protein shake for lunch, rurkey/meats in the evening. post work put preferably. and don't be ashamed to start with low weights. you do what you are able to do. It helped me in the long run

As someone who has struggled all her life with weight, I'd have to say (and feel a bit guilty about it) that's a pretty good motive. You feel how you feel. You were considerate of her feelings and did not say it, though. Nope, I don't want to gain back the weight I lost and look like some people either. They are not bad people, but there is a difference in your life when you weigh quite a bit more than you should.

I think it would help if you tried her to exercise more than just letting her gain weight

That is just plain rude. I'm sure your mother raised you better then that. Karma is a bitch and so r u. Hope u r ready for whatever is coming your way. it's people like u that make this world such a pleasant place to live.

Try getting her to exercise with you. It can be fun having a work out buddy.

good job sparing her feelings
