‘I'm desperately trying to love myself without constantly hearing her voice in my head’: Entitled mother spends 10+ years criticizing her now 22-year-old daughter's weight, then stands firm in her critical behavior when her daughter calls her out

Body weight and eating habits are uncomfortable and sensitive topics for many. Unrealistic beauty standards are the catalyst for many different mental health disorders, and are often perpetuated by those around us, consciously and unconsciously. For whatever reason, our tiny human minds believe a number on the scale determines our worth in the world, and this toxic thought process often infests the minds of those who are supposed to love and uplift us the most…

If you have an "almond mom" or health-conscious dad, you'll get what I mean when I say that you hear their voice in everything you do. "It's not about moderation, it's about self-discipline." These half-empty mantras are the reason so many children undereat and overeat. The 22-year-old woman in this next story is trying to lead a healthier life, but all her mother can do is reiterate the same unhelpful phrases she spat at her since she was a young child.
