What your mother is saying is probably a reflection on her own poor self esteem, or some other psychological issue. Stand up for yourself. Tell your mother that you're happy with who you are and as long as you're being healthy she should accept the way you look. Explain to her that it hurts you when she says such rude things, even though she may just be saying them out of what she feels is concern and love. Mothers, unfortunately, have a way of having the best intentions but the poorest execution when it comes to issues of self-image in their daughters. If after this discussion she doesn't stop, talk to another family member for help, and if nothing else, try your best to ignore her. Always remember to positively reinforce yourself, because you are beautiful.

Your mom has some serious issues of her own. Please don't let her get to you. What she is saying to you can be very harmful. You can become too weight conscious & be in serious jeopardy of becoming anorexic or bulimnic if you aren't already. Try to keep your health a priority. Believe it or not it is healthier to be a little overweight than underweight but to be neither one is best. Pick up a book about eating disorders to gain more understanding of the issue & if you need help ask your counselor for advice. Try not to let your mom make you feel like a pig because you aren't.

Let me get this straight, you're a size zero and your mom is calling you fat? Did I misunderstand what you meant?
Even if you are heavier than she would like you to be, she has no right ot abuse you emotionally. If you eat fast and gulp down your food when your are around someone that you love who is hurting you with their words - well, that is why you are eating so fast. You're trying to eat fast to get away. Then again, you might not even be eating fast or "piggish", she's just being cruel.
She has issues, she's envious - cause remember your mom is stilll a person and a older woman person - at that.
A women who's obviously unhappy and want's to share the pain with you.
Stay as far away from her as you can, even if you live with her, find school activities that you like, friends, a pet, ride your bike, anything to stay away from her.
But whatever you do; don't have sex without protection or your get pregnant and/or a disease, and you will get fat and you'll have a kid that you will abuse like your mom is abusing you, don't do drugs, don't drink to dull the pain - these activities will also make you fat and your mom will like you (for a minute)-though she'll probably call a you a drunk and/or a druggy, or taunt you about something else and you'll be miserable.
Don't eat around her.
Stay away from her -she is toxic and bad for your soul.
She appears to be depressed and myserable with herself and you are a nearby punching bag that loves her unconditionally, like children of people who give birth to them tend to do.
Sometimes, we forget that parents are the vehicles by which we get onto the earth; but we are separate and apart as individuals from them. Thats' why when we die - we typically die without our parents, so don't kill your mom - just stay away from her.

And you're how old?
Know what you should do? Call Children's Services in your county and tell them what's going on. If they don't do anything at first call them again AND call the police (the nonemergency line, please) and explain. The police will notify children's services and then something WILL be done to address the situation. Tell your guidance counselor at school AND tell your guidance counselor that you will be reporting to the police and the children's services that it was reported to the school as well. If all of those agencies think others knew as well, they'll hold one another accountable and no one will sweep it under the rug.
Your mom is mental. She needs to be called on the carpet and held accountable for her problem (and it is her problem). You need assistance. Demand it.

You know in her distorted way...she probably does love you. She probably is trying to spur you into changing what she believes is going to cause you to be rejected by society. Your mother apparently did not learn the skills to positively encourage you (probably passing on how she was treated). In her distorted way of trying to protect you from rejection, she herself is making you feel the rejection she would want to protect you from. I think somehow she has imposed the image that she has of herself onto you. I am not making excuses for her...it is terrible what she is doing...but if you can see the possibility of what I am saying...then maybe it will take a bit of the sting off. Good Luck.

Sounds like your mom's a jealous idiot. Even if what she is saying is true & NO WAY IN HELL IS A SIZE 0 FAT (unless you're 3ft 2") what she is saying to you is abusive on her part. Good news is: sounds like you know better. There's probably no way to get her to shut up so just try to ignore her opinion until she decides to grow up.

I think Mom has a problem, not you. I'd ignore her. It's quite possible she is jealous of you because she didn't have the chances you have in life. By putting you down, it will make you feel bad and you'll have a disappointing life too. So ignore her and do the best you can in all you do.

if your a size 0 your not fat, average size of women in the USA is actually a 14. So next time your mom says your fat- just ask her when was the last time she looked in a mirror. What matters is are you happy with yourself, thats the only thought that matters.

I'd have to say that's just mental.
Maybe she's bulimic, and no, that's not when you throw up after you eat, it's when you see food or other people and think "that's gonna make me gain 12 lbs." or "She's HUGE!" when that's not really not the case. But usually, the person is insecure about themselves. Odd.....

What a mean mother! That's no way to encourage a young person who may, or may not, have a weight problem. Maybe she should prepare healthy meals; and set herself as an example.
