Today, I told my mom I was finally going on a diet. She let me know how proud she is of me fighting temptation, by making my favorite cookies and dinner. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I told my parents that I was going on a diet to lose weight and I wanted their support. They brought home donuts and pizza for dinner. 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, after taking vacation time to visit her, my mom told me she was glad I was leaving so she could get back to her diet. I'm prediabetic and have been trying to manage the condition. She ordered dessert at every meal and was the only one in the family who did. FML
Today, my mom complained that I never do anything nice for her, so while out shopping I bought her favorite chocolate bar. When I got home, she screamed at me because she’s on a diet. FML
Today, I bought myself a Crumbl cookie as a treat for losing 20lbs. Upon seeing it, my mom screamed at me for cheating on my diet and how I was going to "gain all the weight back" and insisted she eat some of it to "help me out." She left behind a tiny morsel of the cookie with a chocolate chip chunk. FML
Today, after struggling with an eating disorder and hiding my symptoms for months, I got up the courage to tell my mom that I need help. Then she asked if an ice cream would make me feel better. FML
Today, I finally broke down and told my mom that I'd relapsed with my eating disorder. She told me to quit whining and eat a burger, because she didn't want to pay for another therapy session. FML
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
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 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

Maybe it's so you can enjoy your favorite meal one last time before your hat work begins? Good luck dieting!

She's like the evil witch from Hansel and Gretel. She's trying to fatten you up. Stay away from any large ovens or furnaces.

Maybe she wanted to test you to see if you were really serious about dieting.

She's lying. She's not proud of you. She wants to keep you fat and lonely so you'll never leave her. Bon appetit, fattie!

Join weight watchers and learn how you can lose weight while still eating the foods you love! You can still have your favorite dinner and dessert, just ensure its not a binge and control your portion. Get up and move! Exercise is a key ingredient. If you torture yourself by taking away everything that is "unhealthy" you will more than likely fail and go on a binge (been there, became president of that club) portion control, exercise, and SMALL indulgence is the way to go!

LOL Weight Watchers? That system is so easy to cheat. They work on a points system, where each food has a certain number of points. I've had clients who've told me that while on WW, they replaced most of their meals with cakes and pastries etc. It totally defeats the whole point of dieting but that was the reality for some people. OP, I suggest you see a dietician who can help you create a meal plan based on the foods you enjoy or don't mind eating. Also, try eating a good balance of fiber, protein and carb at your main meals. It helps thermogenesis (process of burning fat cells) naturally occur in your body. Good luck! :)

#45 you sound like a commercial for Weight Watchers... There's a lot of helpful tips on the internet for losing weight, or as #50 said speak to a dietitian and work out a meal plan that will work for you. Once in a while indulgence doesn't hurt, just remember portion control ^-^

#50, WW is based on calories in < calories out, weight loss will happen. There are good health guidelines to nudge people into healthier choices, and Power Foods push you to healthy eating. The cakes and ice cream are nice, though.

I am a user of WW, not a rep, not a commercial. I have been to a nutritionist and they were great but it's really easy to cheat on them too, as it is on anything. At least with WW you can get better support and the help of nutritionists to help you make better choices. For most people, if they go without ever indulging in a slice of cake, or a cookie, they end up breaking down and binging. At a nutritionist, they say just stay away from it, with WW, they teach you how to incorporate it all into a healthy life style. If someone chooses to swap out all their points for junk food then they are obviously not going to be able to eat very much in a day and obviously not ready to be dieting. With WW, you have support of the WW community which is very helpful for motivation and support. It comes highly recommended from many doctors that I have been too. The nutritionist even told me as long as I don't swap all my points for junk food and make sure I get in all my fruits and veggies, it's a great diet. Some people need the help, nutritionist visits are fewer between and expensive. WW is all the time support online, proven to work, and decently cheap.

It's a good thing you told someone now follow through. Buy and cook your own healthy meals rather then let your mom feed you unhealthy ones
