It always stings when your mom adds to the problem. I know I've gained a decent amount of weight from my cocktails over the years. My grandmother started calling me fat girl and constantly reminding me that I needed to lose weight. I talked to her about it and told her how hurtful it was to say those thigns to me. I knew I was bigger, but calling me names doesn't help the situation, it just makes me feel worse and I might end up doing some emotional eating. Her response was that she was concerned about my size and felt like I needed to know...or something to that effect. The name calling slowed down. Either way I'm sure many of us have to struggle with weight issues from these meds in addition to how loved ones react to he weight, on top of just being stable and happy. So if someone gets on you for it, tell that person how hurtful that is and how it just makes the situation worse. It really isn't funny.
I hope you are able to settle this issue. We got your back!
