Agreed 100%....and AMEN to that!!!
Let your Mother know that if she would like to offer you some positive comments that you will accept them, but that you are no longer hearing or accepting comments that put you down...even if they are disguised as caring and/or complimentary.
It's great to look like Cindy Crawford, but not even Cindy Crawford looks like herself. The model we see is airbrushed and photoshopped to edit out any so called "imperfections".
What's truly important is that you are healthy and where YOU want to be and are comfortable. So what if you carry a little extra weight around your legs/butt. You are inline with your BMI and that's great. In today's world...it's not easy to maintain that so I hope you can recognize that.
If you're happy and comfortable....then that's it. End of discussion. You know that if you want to make changes for yourself that you will do it, and it's no one else's business or right to criticize you for being you.
Hold fast to who you are and tell your Mother to STFU!!
