Hi--
This is a strange post since I don't normally act THIS rude or anything.
Earlier today, I came downstairs to find my mother and a friend of hers talking about my weight loss, etc etc.
Keep in mind, I've never liked compliments about my weight loss progress from others unless its close friends of mine or from forums like threefatchicks
I have to say, after asking my mother millions of times not to embarrass me about bragging to others in front of me about my weight loss, I finally lost my lid today and told her off - briefly & no cussing - with her friend present in the room that I did not appreciate her bragging about my weight loss to others.
I told her (all the while making sure her friend heard every word I said), that I felt embarrassed and uncomfortable every time she or her friends complimented me to my face about my weight loss. I also told her I was getting angry with her that she wasn't respecting my wishes after asking her for more than 2 years to not do that anymore.
Normally, I'd feel bad later on for being such a b*tch but today I felt good actually in telling her off. Normally, I don't like doing this, but I had just had my limit and just told her to stop.
I know she's a mom, she's proud of my progress, and this is what moms do, but I had reached my fill after more than 2 years of this. I don't think she'll stop doing it, but if it happens again in front of me, I fully intend to say the exact thing, so at least if it happens again when she has friends over they will at least remember not to say anything about my weight loss to my face.
I realize this post makes me look like the bad guy, but I had just had my limit today on compliments, ya know?
