How do you deal when you live with a weight shamer???

I recently moved back in with my parents because I left my son’s father ( we weren’t married) I also started seeing a therapist for my anxiety and depression. She put me on a low dose of Seroquel to take at night. My mom will NOT stop talking about how I am going to “blow up” and I’m already having issues with losing weight. I feel horrible about myself and her comments don’t help. I finally lost my shit this morning and she said “well fine I won’t tell you the truth then” SMH! The medicine has been helping me sleep better which was a major issue and now I don’t even want to take it! I know most antidepressants cause some weight gain but now I’m obsessively weighing myself and feeling guilty when I eat. 😭

Sorry you’re going through this but your mom needs to get her shit together. I’m glad she said she would stop even though it was in a condescending manner.. I’d honestly pick up more hobbies to try and distract yourself from all the negativity that’s going on and hopefully you will meet someone new or be in a better environment. Your mom just sounds a little uneducated about the side effects some medicines can have. If YOU think it might be worth it, I’d explain that to her and let her know how your feelings are hurt. A real “daughter to mom” talk might snap her out of her current attitude towards you.. again sorry you’re going through this and I hope things get better. Stay positive and true to yourself 🤍

hi friend! it’s important to remember that being HEALTHY is far more important than being fat, skinny, etc. and i would just remind ur mother of that. instead of weighing yourself or counting calories/not eating (or food obsessing) just do things that make u feel good and healthy that are good for ur body (taking a walk, going to the gym, zumba class, eat more fruits and veggies, etc) but do not overdo it!! its hard to find a balance especially when ur first starting off but doing things that are healthy for ur brain are going to give u a confidence and glow that “losing weight” could never give u. sending u all my love and positive energy 🤍

Thank you so much ladies. I really appreciate the kind words… I NEEDED them today so I don’t spiral ❤️
