Its like if i eat one cookie every once in a while im going to get fat! I workout everyday for at least 45 mins. PLEASE HELP ME!!!!

Answer 1

next time she has a coffee say oh mom the caffein will kill u!

Answer 2

if your not that old just tell her you want to eat like your friends, and your certainly not going to get fat from /one/ cookie.

she should love you no matter what you look like, and its your choice of how you do.

Answer 3

Stop eating junk food around her!

You know there are plenty of Lifetime movies that cover this topic. The doting mom who always has something to say about her daughters food choices, which later on leads her to some kind of eating disorder or to her cutting herself or something like that. I think you should tell you mom the next time she does it that she is giving you a complex and make sure you put the tv on Lifetime so she can get the hint.

Answer 4

look into her eyes and take a huuge bite of the junk food slowly and chew it slowly in front of her and enjoy it

then tell her to take a pill and to chillax. your not going to die.

Answer 5

consider...she wants you to learn to eat healthy...will affect you the rest of your life..how about you two talking about this instead of playing games?

Answer 6

Tell your mom that what she is doing is the way many people become anorexic and super concerned all the time about their body image.  Life has to have some flexibility and since you don't eat junk food much, a cookie or a few chips every so often isn't going to kill you.  You can also tell her that if she continues to do the eye thing and comment, you'll be forced to "sneak" your food--and is that what she wants?  If she's taught you right so far so you know what proper eating is, she really has nothing to worry about and, really, cannot control you forever.  Just be calm and reason with her.  And if she continues (some people really can't stop being a pain), just avoid eating "junk" food when she's around.

Answer 7

I would tell her that at least you eat things and you don't have an eating disorder. Tell her that all her complaints make you feel ashamed and that feelings like that can spawn an eating disorder which is much too common these days.

Answer 8

i know exactly what you mean...my mom is EXACTLY like that...at public gatherings, she picks on me for eating unhealthy. I just drop the junk food...after all, it's not necessary for you to live...just put it off for a time where your mother is not there to yell at you..

Answer 9

your mom has issues, and is trying to push them on you.  ignore her.
