I 24 (F) have been struggling to gain weight all my life growing up I was really under weigh due to multiple reasons the main one being that I am what you would consider a picky eater and I couldn't usually eat my mom's cooking that plus me having PCOD added to my difficulty in gaining weight I went my whole life feeling tired constantly, being out of breath after climbing stairs or feeling dizzy while standing too long every time I did try to gain weight though I would be heavily criticized my mom would purposely serve me smaller portions of food and would say no if I asked for more she would make jokes and poke at the chubby parts of my body and laugh at how my stomach is sticking out etc when I was in high school I started eating lunch with my friends and as we would share food more often I gained weight for the first time I was bullied so bad for it I ended up not eating proper meals and just ate fruit and bread with ketchup for my meals until I lost weight when I became an adult I started working out not to loose weight but for health reasons so I started eating more I moved out of my parents house for a few months during which I was properly eating three meals a day for the first time in my life and gained some weight (Ps. I wasn't overweight just enough for me to function) I could finally feel healthy I can walk longer climb stairs and stand for long and do everything I couldn't do for the longest time when I came back home I started cooking for myself making tasty meals for myself (not always healthy but I am slowly working on it) my mom constantly made comments about my weight and how I have gotten bigger with slide remarks here and there For Example the other day she looked at the set of dumbbells in my room and asked "which part of yourself are you trying to reduce with these?" to which I replied "I am not trying to reduce anything just trying to stay healthy". The problem started when my clothes wouldn't fit anymore all my clothes were XS it still would be too loose so I had to alter it to fit now I was a size S or M I so had to get some new clothes, this week we have a local festival that we celebrate every year for which I decided to just take an old outfit and take out some stitches but it still wouldn't fit and yet again my mom made comments about how my backside has gotten bigger calling it a "Problem" and how I am probably a size Large now (which is not a problem but she said it in a mocking tone) at this point I was at my wits end and said I "stop talking about my body and I do not want to celebrate anymore" Again I am not overweight I am not even curvy (I wish I was) I am a healthy weight even my doctor said my weight was fine when my mother tried making comments about my weight in front of her. Still was it an overreaction saying I don't want to celebrate? Will I be an AH if I go through with it and skip it altogether?
