30F, I in fact have had many relationships and have no trouble getting dates but have always kept my dating life a secret because my parents are judgmental and who needs that when finding people to love is hell already this day and age. Also I’ve never been clinically obese, just considered chubbier than most people of my ethnic group. So I was shocked that she said this to me.
Recently my mom has been pressing about marriage because of my age and while I never shared my dating life with her I assumed she’d know I’ve had experience; today I found out she thinks I’ve been single my entire life and the reason is that I am too fat. I just told her that I do rather well for myself and have even had celebrities message me online. I almost wish I didn’t even say anything but I was so hurt that is what she sees when she looks at me, can only imagine how she feels looking at my body. I think am self-assured to know I am good enough (honestly this is truly challenging me so I don’t even know at this point) but it makes me extremely uncomfortable to be around her now.

Arg! Mothers! It is good to know that you have enough self-worth that her comment will not destroy you, but it dies hurt, I get it.
Hope you’re having a good day anyway and are 1 step closer to finding love.
