How to stop my mum

Honestly, I don't think your weight is the problem. We all got a bit chunky during quarantine because we couldn't visit the gym, play our usual sports, or visit our favorite running trails but once this nightmare is over, our weights may go back to more or less normal. Try to tune them out. Its hard especially when they're leaning over your shoulder taking apart everything from your physique to the plate of food literally in front of you, but what other choice to we have. Try to meal prep? Keep only healthy foods like fruits in plain sight, processed foods and sweets in cupboards? Whatever works. If you feel good, to heck with what others think. Learn from my mistake though. One day someone made a comment that was the straw that broke the camels back. I lost my shit all over them and now a lot of my family relations are strained. It wasn't worth it. I learned my lesson, now I passive aggressively text them articles about why commenting on people's food/weight is rude and/or harmful with captions like "OMG this article is like lit af" with lots of emojis. Another thing I learned the hard way is crash dieting or omitting food groups is a bad idea. I tried keto, lost 15 pounds really fast, but ultimately it was too strict to keep up so I went back to my normal healthy ish diet and gained it all back and then some. So sad because I actually had visible abs for a while. I then went on a strict diet of max 1000 calories a day and lost 10 pounds really fast. But that was also crazy and I couldn't keep it up so I gained it back really fast and then some. I'm still figuring this out, but at least I know what not to do. Blogilates has a really good video about how it took her 90 days to figure out what a healthy lifestyle looked like for her. Hang in there friend, it rough but if you've got the nerve, anything's possible:) I think Ginny Weasley said something like that.
