Oil & Water asked:
About 6 months ago I started a weightloss program with my Mother. She lost weight very quickly and although I was eating the same as her and exercising more began to put weight on. After a few fruitless months I when to the Doctors and was eventually diagnosed with Hypothyroidism. Since then I am recieveing treatment and with diet and exercise the weight is starting to come off. What is upsetting me though is my mother attitude to my losing weight. She has lost 60 lbs and is already slimmer that me but now that I am beginning to lose wieght I notice that she is becoming competitive e.g. she has dished up dessert for the family including herself if I refuse she then says she doesn’t want any either. She always seems to be looking at my figure and comparing my body with hers. Before I was diagnosed and struggling to lose wieght she was supportive but now she buys in all my favorite treats as though to tempt me to eat and says I don’t have her will power.
How can I tell her to stop?
I am very proud of her efforts and have been supportive of her but she now constantly says things like I’m not eating enough and tells me I’m exercising too much. She gets a real kick out of her new figure and thats great but I feel also that she felt previously like she had beaten me. I never felt it was a competion and that we were supposed to be supporting each other. I just find her behavior so hurtful at times.

Sureslim = develop an eating program based on your bloodtest, tell you what time you should eat and what you should eat. Includes dieticians, nutritionists, physicians and doctors. Can only eat 3 meals a day, which is proportionised and must be weighed before you eat it to make sure you do not over-eat or under-eat. with five hour intervals and no snacking. No rice or pasta or potato or sweet potato for the first 4 months (i think) to provide quick weightloss. $880 for 6 months including weekly weighins and visits to the clinic. Tony Ferguson = two milkshake or soup satchets with a serving of fruit etc a day, two different types of tablets a day, snacking allowed. The milkshake or soup replaces two meals only, so you eat one proper meal a day but that meal is proportionised and includes calorie and kilojoule counting (i think). If you pay $56 a week, doing it for 6 months costs $1456 – in comparison to Sureslim.
