Fit mother attacked on Facebook

210. It's probably the reason she had an eating disorder to begin with

people who are raised to think their bodies are the only thing others will care about often do.

My own mom is somewhat eating disordered. Growing up, all she cared about was her body. It's kind of funny, because this woman would've gotten along great with my mom, my mom always worked out, sometimes twice a day. She was always lugging us kids to her workouts, putting us on her diets. It sucked as a kid. But my mom's body wouldn't have been up to this woman's standards, because my mom was cursed with wicked stretch marks and loose skin due to pregnancy. Did my mom not 'try hard enough?' LOL, THAT is funny. What a sanctimonious woman this lady is.

I could work out more, but I have in the past and for me, I wouldn't look like she does at 2 hours/day. I actually did the whole 2 hours per day for a good portion of my life and I didn't look like her even before children and with a careful diet. My excuse now is I have 4 kids, I'm in school full time, I actually do have a medical issue that makes losing weight hard, I'm a single parent who is broke. I DO walk every day and I'm very obese and have been since I started having babies, despite working out pretty regularly. I dislike the shaming from her, because she doesn't know other people's lives. She's being judgmental. My mom was exactly the type she thinks other people should be, yet my mom isn't even up to her standards.

BTW, I endured the same kind of shaming from my own mother and it contributed to my issues with my body and through therapy I learned that while I am predisposed to be overweight, I probably didn't work as hard at losing weight as a normal person would've because subconsciously I am punishing my mother. She saw fat people as lazy failures, and she saw kids who were overweight as having horrible parents. I endured a lot of emotional abuse at home, so this is my way of showing her not only can she not control me but that she's a failure as a parent. Anyhow, I wouldn't want to be the wife of one of those little boys when they grew up. They'll probably be like my brother - incredibly judgmental and rude to fat people. Or like my mom - who thinks fat people don't deserve to be loved because they are so 'disgusting'. Yeah, I'm throwing out a lot of assumptions, but I've been around the type and I'm certain I'm not too far off.
