Some...I know growing up I tried hard to be nothing like my mom. She said she gained weight after getting married....I worked out & played racquetball with the guys at work to keep that from happening. I only gained a little more than my baby weighed when I got pregnant after being married 2 years while everyone else was gaining bunches. I exercised my whole pregnancy swimming. So it wasn't reallybsurprising when stress brought on full fledged anorexia at the age of 42 when life was falling apart with the loss of my engineering career. Only thing I had control over at the time was what I ate. It could be seen as an enmeshed relationship with mother trying so hard to be NOTHING like her....though she wasn't that much in my life during those years & the only control she had was my brain fighting to be nothing like her.
Know it's probable difficult to distance yourself from your mother butnit might be the best thing for you at this point in your life
