and now shes like "i plan to lose 10 pounds by october".

TRIGGER:

i wouldnt be so self conscious about my weight i bet if my mom wasnt an alcoholic and wouldnt have called me names about my weight when i WAS overweight at the time. shes said ive eaten like a pig. shes said i look fat. many times when i was 180. this was when she was drunk.

i cant tell you how many times shes said i needed to eat healthier. even now with me weighing 10 pounds less than her.
It's her issue then. You don't have to take it on. When she talks about weight, try to tune her out.
Thanks for this!
