I've noticed from being around here there are just as many people who are offended by someone telling them they look great as their are people who are happy to hear it. Maybe the last person she commented on spat in her face or something :lol:

I totally understand how someone not mentioning your weightloss can be bothersome. I posted before and after pics of my first month weightloss and pretty much everyone but my mother has commented on it and that is very hurtful. I'm thinking that she is just jealous. Especially since she posted that pic of you at your heaviest. That sounds purposely done. Anywho let's not let anyone still the joy that you should have for kicking a** and losing so much weight!!

LOL @cherrypie!
Stacy-
a friend of mine suggested that it may have been easier for her to think of herself as "mom" when I was the big, fat, frumpy "grandma". Now the lines are more blurred since we are only 2 years apart and much closer in weight??
No matter I guess. I don't wish to appear ungrateful for the fact that she has allowed me to see my gd when she wouldn't have to. Grandparents actually have few rights when it comes to things like this.
Another funny little tidbit...we were in Target last weekend and I was pushing my gd in the cart. I bent over to get the coffee I needed off the bottom shelf. She said "grandma, I'm not going to lie, you used to have a big butt, but now you don't".

Out of the mouths of babes....hilarious!

Thank you Bad. I understand your feelings, especially with it being your mom. Sometimes family members can hurt us the most. (((hugs for you!!))
