FIFTEEEN POUNDS??????
WHAT IS THAT IN SENSIBLE METRIC?
SHOULD I SIGN UP?

(I think one lb is about 0.5kg, so 7kg weightloss is actually outside my ballpark of 'easy weight', so that is actually either pretty good or concerning. WHAT IS THE ONE THING DIET-SCIENCE-TYPES DON'T WANT YOU TO KNOW she does???? is it only eating two meals a day of oven-cooked bacon covered with shaved Nepalase chocolate?)

1 Kilo is 2.2046 pounds (that will forever be in my brain from working for the chocolate company) so your math is basically sound :)

and I am happy she found something that makes her happy...and yes, my life would be easier if I lost weight my life would be easier...but with the lipedema it is really fucking hard to do so

[greylock]

If you lose weight *then* what will she make you feel bad about?

[mschaos]

that I am a bleeding liberal and because of that I am a selfish human being (she already told me this)

[greylock]

My response is likely to include "but her emails" and "lock her up".
But I don't know your mum, so I'm no sure how far into MAGAland I should go.

I strongly feel that this falls under the heading of her confirming that she does not belong in your life. FFS.

[mschaos]

yep. happy birthday to me right?

[fexurbislexorbis5]

Was this part of a message she sent on account of your birthday? Because fuck a WHOLE bunch of that.

[mschaos]

no but the timing is right there so I just assumed

[sushispook]

You don't deserve that lack of respect. At all. There's nothing you did to deserve this. Period. Full stop.

I'm sorry boo. I love you just the way you are, and any size and shape <3

We need to revoke her mother badge, that shit is completely uncalled for!
