I would be offended... but i would rather hear it from her rather than someone else.... but if she does maybe you should tell her to say it in a more kindly way.. not so direct

I get offended all the time when she tells me I need to GAIN weight. It's not like I haven't tried, and I do eat a whole lot. It's just that I'm different from the rest of my siblings. I am more petite because my metabolism is higher then theirs. I use to work out to stay fit and healthy. Now I've stop and I still don't gain much. Now she does the same thing to my son, saying he needs to GAIN more he is too skinny it's like I don't feed my child which I find very very offensive!

No way. If my mom told me i was packing on a bit too many I'd probably have to go ahead and look in the mirror. Why would I get offended by my mom?

I would probably be offended, but she is just trying to help you avoid a future weight problem. When I was younger, my mother would tell me that my stomach was getting big, etc. I resented her, and just said that I would suck it in. Well, she was right, and I gained more weight. The moral of the story is, listen to mom. She may be cruel in her delivery of the problem, but this could help you later in life.

If my mom was telling me then no I wouldnt be offended. She is just looking out for your health she is not trying to be mean.

I wouldn't be offended if what she was saying was true, although overweight people typically know when they are and don't need others to remind them of it. I can look in the mirror and tell when I'm fat, I don't need friend or family to clue me in.

Well your mom loves you and would never be mean about it, I don't think I would be offended.

Only if it wasn't true. If you don't like it, though, I'd have a talk with her about it. If that doesn't work, think of something SHE needs to change about herself and "occasionally" bring it up. :-)

A cousin of mine told me I was too young to be as overweight and out of shape as I was. I started working on myself and I thank her every day. She was right, in my case.
Also you can be a smart *** and tell her she's not looking so hot herself!!! :-)
