She's always had a thing about my weight. When I was 7 she marched me to the GP and decided I was fat. I was a bit chubby, sure, but I had almost a completely sedentary childhood and poor diet. At 7, that wasn't my fault.
I lost a ton of weight at university (I was probably top skinny tbh) and over the years, I have put on a bit. I'd like to be 1.5 stone lighter, and I have lost around 6 lb since Oct-ish. Being more careful than usual (being told I was fat aged 7 means that I have never really gorged), exercising regularly etc.
She has just told me that one of my coats is too small. It absolutely is not. Tight, in fact. I have worn it over two layers and a jacket recently and did all the buttons fine.
I am annoyed.
My mum is horribly unhealthy. She smokes a lot, has COPD and even without that, has a crap diet and would never walk any journey.
There's a song doing the rounds and one of the lyrics is "My mother, she told me, don't worry about your size" well apparently my "size" is a problem.
I am actually a 12. I was wearing a size 10 dress the other day.
AIBU to think she should button it?
