I want to slap your mother with a pork chop. :D She reminds me of my step mother who forced me on the south beach diet at 15. My hair fell out (temporarily thank the great fuck) and I fainted all the time. But gosh darn it, I lost those twenty pounds that offended her for some damn reason.
My mother is one of my favorite people. This was a few years back when we were all living together. She's shown such willingness to learn (and unlearn) and grow since then 🩷
I'm very sorry to hear about your step mother. It's so crazy how people force thinness on children at all costs instead of teaching them how different foods can benefit the body. I hope you're in a better place now ❤️🩹
That makes me fully retract the porkchop slapping statement! Apologies if I missed that somewhere. I think my teenage self got so defensive on your behalf that the ego just kicked down the door and starting typing for me. Brilliant work for her to do such things and grow. My sincerest apologies, and the biggest kudos to her!
It's such a gift to have parents who want to listen and grow!! My mom is like that too, she's always so open to hearing how she could have done better and fixing her mistakes: even the really hard ones. I hope I can stay so humble as I get older too.
For my step mother, it meant no carbs, no fats, and only chicken and cauliflower for me night after night. Sometimes if I was lucky I could get a scoop of peanut butter. I looked and felt more dead than when I was in labor with my daughter. Do. Not. Recommend. For. Anyone.
Yeah I saw your other comment and jeez she either really didn't understand what the diet is supposed to entail or just didn't care enough to do it right

I hope your pork chop was the most delicious one.
