Vent..

I’m in a weight loss journey.. I got many reasons to why I decided to work on myself. For health wise to get my pre body back before pregnancy. And because I felt like I needed to prove people that I could get there. I’m a little devastated because I mentioned it to my mom.. and I felt bad. I was 190 I’m at 184.4 and so my mom was like so what that’s just 6 pounds. I was actually happy because I felt like I’m finally getting there even if it’s such a small amount. I felt like this just knocked me down so much harder.. and felt like no matter what I’ll never get any validation from my mom or her to be proud of me. She has always been like this.. right before I decided to start a weight loss journey she would see me and constantly say how I’m fat and gained weight and made me insecure. So I responded back after she said that and I said that’s something what do you mean? I felt like actually wanted her to feel happy for me. But no she was like well it’s small amount that’s really nothing I’ve lost 20 pounds. It just times me because I don’t understand, she just doesn’t tend to ever be supportive she tends to make it about her all the time. This is the reason why I’ve dealt with things on my own since I was younger. But I tbh feel like crying because .. wow.. my older sister compliments me and tells me how good I am doing. She gives me advices because she says since she’s 34 it’s harder for her to loose it so Instead of making it about her like my mom. She actually makes me feel proud of myself and to keep going. Your thoughts ?

Ignore your mom. Even small progress should celebrated to encourage more. You're doing a great job! 😁

I think your mom might be jealous and/or projection her insecurities towards you 🤷‍♀️ But no matter what you think, if proving people wrong is one of your reason just prove her wrong ! Family are the biggest haters unfortunately but 6 pounds is AWESOME keep going ! You have so much in front of you in this journey don’t let her ruin your best moment. Don’t forget you have one life don’t waste your good energy and positivity on someone that keeps being mean to you, you don’t deserve that❤️ Keep going girl you got this 🫶🏼🫶🏼💅

Girl when I started losing dramatic amount of weight people started getting way more defensive. "You were never fat", "you look great either way", "you're starving yourself", "one slice of cake isn't going to put the weight back on". I genuinely think it's all jealousy. Stay on your own path, celebrate your own victories and do not expect anyone to be happy for you, because they really won't be.
