Mom talks constantly about how shes passed on her Weight problems to me?!


Question: Mom talks constantly about how shes passed on her Weight problems to me?
I admit i don't have the best diet. I'm not overweight yet, but my mom keeps saying if i keep up with the way im eating ill wind up struggling with my weight my life like she did. I'm 15 years old, 5ft 6in tall, and 112 pounds (checked just this morning) I'm a vegetarian, and i don't drink soda, ever. I have the way both meat and soda taste. My mom thinks i eat too many dairy products. shes vegan. all we have in the house as far as milk goes is silk soy milk. I do eat allot of pizza/cheese type foods. and i don't eat many vegetables or fruits. my mom thinks that anything that isn't fresh doesn't count as fruit anymore (so juice, frozen, apple sauce ect.) I run. i love running... i spend a ton of my time running and being active. I admit i eat allot of cheese and so on, and some suger too. am i really so unhealthy, and headed on the same path she did? is she right, with all the diet books she reads and stuff. am i really going to be overweight. she really is depressing me with the way she talks... to be honest, i know im not fat, but i feel like i am. how do i get her to stop talking the way she does. should i even try? is she right about everything. very confused... help!!!

I think your Mom is the one with the problem, actually. She sounds super obsessive about food because juice and apple sauce can be good for you as well as cheese. Being vegetarian is a great choice, but I don't agree with your Mom being vegan because humans were not meant to live only off of fruits and vegetables, we are meant to have some variety like dairy products. I think you are just fine and you shouldn't listen to your Mom saying you have a weight problem.



You are not over weight!!!! 112 pounds is perfect for you height and age. Try to eat a little healthier and you will be fine and tell your mother to shut up!



It depends on so many things. My mother was always super thin when i was alive but as a teenager she was pretty big. she lost the weight. as a child i always looked underfed and starved. you could count my ribs and everything. Now im 15 and big like my mother used to be. i was warned but never believed anyone. Now im going through hell to undo it. I dont know about you though. It doesnt sound like you will but you might, there is always a chance. please dont end up like me. sometimes i wish myself dead.
