I'm not sure if this type of post is relevant here, but I need help staying motivated to lose weight in this specific situation.
I'm 17, about to leave for college. I am overweight, I have been all my childhood. This past year has been very bad for me in terms of weight gain, and I'm at the highest I've ever been. Already, I'm not in the best headspace but I'm trying my best every day to lose weight and be healthier.
It's just so hard for me to maintain the motivation I've mustered up when every day my mom reminds me of how overweight I am and how I need to lose it. It feels like what I'm doing is for nothing if she feels the need to "helpfully" advise me on how my thighs are massive and how I'm an ugly pig that needs to go work out. She knows I already am, and she knows it makes me feel bad about myself because every time I try to end the conversation she mocks me saying "oh look! she's upset." I know I shouldn't be so sensitive, she's a blunt person and only trying to help, but this is the one situation where her words hit exactly where it hurts.
I admire the type of person who can take this for fuel in their weight loss journey, but things like this just make me feel hopeless and like it'd just be better to give up.
TLDR: How should I approach staying motivated when I get so emotional at comments on my weight?
Thank you for reading, sorry for the more rant-like post. This was also just to get it out. Any advice appreciated!
