My grown son lives with me and thinks dieting or even eating healthy is the work of the devil. He gives me no support and even says things like "Mom you're old, you're fat its nature" Its depressing and I need some good freinds who will encourage me to keep on and not listen to him, not even hear his words, but listen to my own words and heart, I want to lose weight! I will lose weight!
I think that maybe you should sit down and have a talk with your son. Tell him how important this is to you, and that you would really appreciate his support (or at least no negative comments). Explain that you are really trying to make healthy changes to your life.
And if he still doesn't support you, I'll give you some support! YOU CAN DO THIS! It takes time and effort and will power, but imagine the results at the end! You are doing yourself such a favor by eating healthy and losing weight, it will probably add years on to your life!
Absolutely, listen to your heart, you want to lose weight and be healthy! And your son should want you to be healthy too, so maybe a serious conversation with him would be a good thing!
Honestly ... if it was my son and he was living with me ... I'd put the smackdown on him. And I'm only partially joking here. IMO that kind of talk is rude and disrespectful to *anyone* and especially to a parent.
My response would be: Son, if you can't be supportive, then I expect you to be polite at the very least. Say something nice, or don't say anything at all.
Seriously. Why would you allow someone - especially your son - to treat you so rudely. Stand up for what you know is right.
My first reaction to this is that you should say this to him:
"Well, it's also nature that the young leave the nest when they are grown, son. Time to fly."
I'm sorry you have to put up with your own son being insensitive, rude, and unsupportive.
Your son is wrong. Yes, you CAN lose weight! Yes, you WILL!
Just hang in there, ignore his ignorant comments, and keep going. In no time you will see the pounds begin to melt away, and even the years will seem to come off your face.
A lot of us start out alone. Our friends and families just don't get it.
We just keep plugging along.
Our loved ones either get used to our actions or join in. Either way ... the initial strangness passes. He'll ease up.
If not just rude, it can sound pretty abusive if this is continuous. :\
If I were you I would've kicked him out already. But then again, I am not a mother, and I don't know about experiencing the maternal love that I've so often heard about.
But like others before me have said, we'll be here for you!!!
ya know if my grown child lived with me (and was not disabled emotionally) and talked to me like that, my grown healthy able to support himself child would be homeless.
Aging does not mean fat!!! Aging means getting older in terms of how long you have lived on this earth...nothing else... You have determination on how much you want to work to have the body that you want... Exercise, strength training, healthy diet and habits can give you a healthy body no matter the age...it just gets more difficult the longer you are here...
And I agree...that was an extremely disrespectful comment from your son...I would talk to him about that alone...
I agree with what the other ladies said. Time to have a SERIOUS discussion with Mr. Son and explain to him that he does not HAVE TO live with you. Time for him to start looking for a place of his own.
Don't put up with his rude behaviour!
Thank you everyone! I feel better having heard from all of you! I will continue my fight to lose weight.
just to clarify my son is grown and has been out of the house, he came back to help me after my marrige fell apart.
Support Needed!!!
YOU CAN DO THIS! It takes time and effort and will power, but imagine the results at the end! You are doing yourself such a favor by eating healthy and losing weight, it will probably add years on to your life! 
And I'm only partially joking here. IMO that kind of talk is rude and disrespectful to *anyone* and especially to a parent.
