Feelin good, then brought back down to earth

Apr 24, 2014

I love my Mamma, gotta love my Mamma.  At first I was thinking that my Mom-in-law was the only one to make hurtful comments but no...my precious Mom does it too.  First off this morning I was on a "Gee I'm doing great" high, as my husband was hugging me bye this morning he kept rubbing my back & I jokingly asked "are my love handles gone or something?"  "Yes" he replied in all seriousness.  So I was on a high til I went to get on my folks treadmill.  My Moms comes out with a photo album showing me a picture of me & making the comment "how much did you weigh here? because you looked good at this weight."  She does this a lot & has done so for years as my weight has been up & down all my life.  Never tells me I'm looking good now just always tells me stuff like you looked better in this pic or at this weight.  I love her.  Gotta love her, hope when I'm older I'm a bit more kind & not so judgmental towards my daughter-or at least careful with what I say.  Sorry for ranting a bit, I thank God that I've still got my parents.  Waiting for the day when I can look back on this & smile.  Oh yeah in the pic that I looked good in I weighed 200 or 215...can't wait to surpass that.  Moms also ragged me when I was skinny 135-145 too telling me I looked anorexic & like a stick figure with a bobble head & boobs.  SMH!
