Backhanded compliment vent. Updated!

Ms.Fox, on September 10, 2017 at 10:57 PM Posted in Wedding Attire 0 150

My mom just called me. She told me she saw my recent picture from Disneyland and told me how good she thinks I look since I lost weight. She then proceeded to tell me how bad I looked in a picture I took 2 months before at Seaworld. She told me I looked "lumpy and bumpy" in the yoga pants I was wearing, and she's glad I'm losing weight.

I wanted to yell at her, but I refrained. It was so hurtful. I think she just doesn't consider the words she's saying, but it sure seemed like a backhanded compliment. Any one else dealing with these kind of comments in the months leading up to your wedding?

    I'm currently sitting on the couch eating nachos.

    her comment made me so upset, maybe because I'm pmsing, but still. She loves me but she can say the rudest things

    I wish I looked that great from behind! I could never wear leggings without a tunic top covering my butt. And you are giving me major hair envy, gorgeous!!

    Thanks for the kind comments, I'm just annoyed and wondering if I was delusional. She just puts a lot of pressure on me, and I'm hoping you all can relate in some way Smiley sad

    Yup. My mom rsvped today now that she got her official invitation and all. Long story short, I've been asking her about hair and makeup for months and she refused to reply until she got her official invite. And she rsvped by text. Ugh.

    So I know this sounds dramatic but it kinda seems like emotional manipulation. There are zero lumps in that pic. Like you look so good in it that her comments really show something is wrong with her

    @chaos, I think she has no filter, I tell her this, but nothing changes. Ugh. Love her, though.

    You look STUNNING in that "lumpy and bumpy" picture. Not sure what she's seeing, but wow! I wouldn't worry.

    @Kay, what do you mean exactly? That's she's trying to manipulate me into losing more weight? If that's true, it's working.

    I just feel like crying the more I think about it. What mom says things like that to their daughter. I just texted her telling her she upset me.

    My mom used to do that all the time. Lead to a lifetime of self-recrimination about my size 12 body. Irony is, I was adopted, and my biological sisters are the same size, as I found out when I met them. My mom is a size 6 lifelong.
