Today, I went to my parents' house. I recently lost about 30 lbs. My mom hugged me and said, "Aww, you're not my chubby baby girl anymore." She then said she wished I were still fat because she missed it. She's the reason I lost the weight; she used to tease and taunt me. Thanks Mom. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I complimented my mom with "Hey, I think you lost some weight." She replied with "Yeah, I think you found it." FML
Today, I told my mom I lost 30 pounds because of an eating disorder. She told me to keep up the good work. FML
Today, my aunt said that it looked like I lost some weight. I was pleased with this, since I've been trying to lose some. My mom, for some reason, thought it was insulting. She pulled me to aside to assure me that I most definitely don't look any skinnier. FML
Today, I came home crying and informed my mother that someone had called me a 'fat bitch' today. She held me at arms length, looked me straight in the eyes, and lovingly said, "You can't change who you are." FML
Today, I found myself crying in the bathroom because I started to feel lonely and depressed. My mother came into the bathroom, hearing me cry and gave me an hour long speech about what a beautiful human being I am… And to not forget to lose weight. FML
Today, when my mother-in-law told me I was losing weight, my husband started laughing. FML
Today, after several months of eating right, exercising, and weight loss, my mother has yet again arrived at my house, unannounced and with a very sugary cake. She's been doing this most weeks since I lost 50 pounds. FML
Today, I officially completed my weight loss journey, only for my wife, who'd previously threatened to divorce me if I didn't lose weight, to tell me that she realized she liked me better when I was fat and that "you don't know what you have until it's gone." FML
Today, I walked downstairs in a new outfit, after dieting for 3 months, and losing just over 20 pounds. My mom took one look at me and said "You'd better keep going." FML
Today, whilst trying on wedding dresses with my mom, she told me that I looked fat and awful in the dress I liked. When I told her how hurtful she was being, she told me that I should be grateful that she told me what she thought instead of laughing at me behind my back. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

That's odd. You are probably beautiful either way, though.

Look at this way, YOU LOST 30lbs! If I loose like 3lbs I break out into like this mini celebratory dance . End up stuffing my face full of food and gain like 6lbs -.-

Screw her. Do what feels right and healthy, regardless of what your mom has to say. My grandmother is the same way, and now she's doing the same thing to my daughter, who isn't even TWO. Any time we visit she stuffs us all with crappy food, gets bitchy and offended when I take a small serving, acts like I'm being a tyrant when I tell my daughter she can't have ice cream because she didn't eat any real food (then gives it to her anyway)...then asks me when I'm going to finally lose this baby weights and scoffs at how we "must be feeding Ellie total junk at home" because she wouldn't eat dinner but is still "such a little fat potato". Talk about a complex >:(

Hey, you lost weight. The fact that you had the willpower to do it makes you awesome.

It's all about keeping you in the child mentality, mom still has a purpose if you are still a child.

Some mothers can never stop criticizing. I'm not even overweight and my mother taunts me about it. Learn to try and ignoring cause it seems like some moms will never give their approval

Recently? I hope you lost that weight the right way, which should have taken months

Exactly the same as me. Mine now over feeds me :/

So basically she misses teasing and taunting you. Beware OP, that exactly the kind of 'mother' who, when you bring a boyfriend home, will start telling him how fat you used to be and then claim innocently that she's just proud of your weight loss when you call her on it.

Sounds like she'll just miss making fun of you. Tell her to **** off, but you know, respectfully. :)
