Body image & your experience growing up

i had not thought about this!

My mother was always a small petite woman, but always thought she was overweight. i don't ever remember a time where she was not talking about it.

Once she was on some diet pills, and was so doped up she was scrubbing the bathroom tile with a toothbrush in the middle of the night.

She always said she " needed to lose weight" She would fast all week and binge on the weekends.

Today she is nearly 80 and talks about her extra weight...

i never thought about the fact that i may have inherited some body shaming issues from some of this.
