I was just talking to my husband like “you know when you were a kid and you would say you were hungry and your mom would say ‘you’re not hungry, you’re just bored’?” And he was like “…no, what??”
Why am I 33 and still finding out new ways my almond mom fat shamed growing up. I was the chubbiest of 3 daughters but not overweight at all. Literally, I see pics of myself as a kid now when I thought I was a whale, and I was so little. My two sisters were just a bit taller and string beans at the time so I was bigger by comparison. Anyone else?
Also, my almond mom is now an ozempic mom if anyone was curious. 🫶🏼
Edit to add: to the people saying eating out of boredom is real. Absolutely! But my thin sisters were rarely “bored”. Their hunger was almost always real to her. My mom put me on hydroxycut weight-loss pills at age 13 I weighed 135 lbs when I STARTED the pills. I did not need them.
Also, anyone who wants to utilize weight loss drugs, I support your right to choose what you want for your body/mental wellness. I just wish I had been given a choice as a growing child. People who need these drugs are not anyone I take issue with. My size 0/2 mom going to get a shot anytime she gains a few lbs is the issue.
