Nike007, sorry your mother is being such a terd with you. Some individuals go through this in their late teens with the weight, a lot of the body is changing in the late teens and early 20's, hormone levels are changing and often some experience extra anxiety and even some depression until their hormones balance out. I remember my nephew going through this time and struggling, eventually he got involved in weight training after high school and he really got into it, but it was for himself. I even saw pictures of my husband at that age and my husband was chubby, not at all the same as when he was 23 and we were dating.

Don't allow your mother to get in your head in negative ways. Your mother should not have that kind of negative power over you, she is just a person and not all people are all that good at parenting. A person with lousy parenting skills is never the child's fault, always remember that. I heard many conversations between my daughter and her friends where her friends parents were letting them down in one way or another, I have seen a lot of that during my life, so many parents that really fail their children in so many ways, never the fault of the child.

Did you ever watch Charlie Brown? Notice how whenever the parents talk it doesn't really show the parents and what the parents say is just noise no real words? Well, pretend your mother is just noise, no words, don't let any negatives register because that is not anything that is helpful to you.
