Firstly, well done on 10lb lost! Secondly, scales don't lie, but a Mum's perception of you can be less-than-entirely realistic, and filitered through all sorts of issues. Maybe she's jealous, as others have suggested, maybe she doesn't think you need to lose weight, maybe she just doesn't see it - depending on your frame, 10lb may, or may not, be noticeable to someone who is not looking as closely as you are at your body. If it really bothers you too much, and she continues to be negative, if you're comfortable showing her your weight - show her on the scale! (A word of warning - check before you do to make sure you haven't gone up with a little water weight - it happens to all of us!). If you'd rather not, try talking to her - explain that you find her comments demotivational and ask that she reframe her comments in a supportive vein. If that's not something you can envisage doing, maybe just don't tell her - keep on losing, and she won't be able to deny what she's seeing for too long!0

but i know i lost more than 10pounds..she laughed at me and thinking that I cant do it.. Because shes also big..
I hate that feeling
You need to get real about the fact that your mother and probably your whole family will never be a support for you in any way.
Your mother is part of the problem - not the solution.
Just lose the weight, then torment her over it every chance you get.
Instead of sitting around waiting for her to affirm your success [she won't], harp on Mom about how fat she is.
Make her feel miserable like she did you
I believe in fighting fire with fire, and payback is wonderful. I LOVE getting even with people.
Let their misery be our JOY!:laugh: :laugh:
I am not sure I could ever torment my mother over her weight, she has struggled with it for many, many years. I certainly could never tell her she was fat, whatever the reason.
Their misery would end up my misery.0 -
And at that point you turn around, lose the weight, and then come back laughing! You can do it girl. There's not a better feeling than the feeling of proving someone wrong! Go out there and show her you CAN and WILL lose the weight!! Keep your head up:)0

First of all, great job on your weight loss. You should be very proud of yourself.
I think you should sit down with your mom and tell her how much her support would mean to you. If she just brushes you off, then don't worry about it. At the end of the day you are doing this for yourself. Just think of how amazing you'll feel when you reach your goal. Maybe then she'll notice and be inspired.
Feel free to add me! I'm always available to be a friend.0 -
My honest opinion, your mother is just upset that she lacks the willpower to do what you have set out to achieve. In other words: she's jealous. Keep up the great work OP, you deserve credit where it is due.0
