This mom is obsessed with her daughter’s hips. It’s weird and sad. She’s made her feel self conscious in her amazing body.

[@amidala3927]

Mom thinks her hips are too big. She's just not coming out and saying it. Instead it's all about not "showing" them instead of saying "people are going to agree with me and say you're fat." Which daughter clearly is not, and why Monty is pointing out her figure is actually model-perfect. But mom is old-school 80's mom raised on heroin-chic models and low-fat diets and thinks any bit of hips is "fat".

[@Mooncrest0]

99% of the time people that bodyshame others have their own insecurities that they’re struggling with and project it onto the people they bodyshame. Its clear that the mother is doing so..

It's true, my mother was horribly jealous of me when I hit puberty and started getting all kinds of unwanted attention.

Yes, her mother was and is a sadistic psychopath, I just did not know this as a kid, and would not have had the ability to process all of her pain as well as mine. When I got older and heard all the stories, met my grandmother, I understood and felt great sadness and compassion for my mom, but the damage was done. I try to find ways of healing and forgiveness, it's just very hard when the abuse is ongoing.

[@sarahtaylor6081]

I am so sorry that you had to go through that with your mom. My mom is doing something similar and it really hurts me when she says how I'm going to be a fat and ugly girl when I move out because she can't regulate what I eat once I leave. I understand what you went through

[@Quantum36911]

@@sarahtaylor6081 That is horrible and it's a complete lie.. her always trying to control what you eat is a sign of narcissistic personality disorder.. my mom did the same thing. This is an insidious and extremely toxic form of abuse. What she is really doing is trying to make you feel you can;t survive without her, because she is the one who is terrified of losing you. It's a type of brainwashing that they do so that you don't believe in yourself.. if she can make you feel small and worthless, then she can keep you all to herself so that she doesn't feel small and worthless. The result is called learned helplessness.. they control everything you do, don't allow you to have boundaries and make your own decisions, so you don't actually believe you can do anything on your own.. but you know you can.. Once you move out, and you MUST MOVE OUT to save your life, you will learn to regulate your eating and everything else that she has been controlling for your whole life. I would recommend looking up Melanie Tonia Evans, Michele Lee Nieves, Lisa A. Romano, Also Daughters of Narcissist Mothers. These are people who really helped me understand my mother's disorder and how I could finally learn to heal myself from the abuse. It's an ongoing battle, it has taken me a really long time.

[@susantescione8007]

For me here's the problem: the dress really doesn't fit because it's pulling and showing a pot belly. You can see they don't quite get the zipper up in the back on the first dress. So that's problematic because you really don't know what the dress is going to look like with a correct fit and/or alterations. As far as the dress goes, I don't think it's excessively revealing. I think it doesn't fit well enough to know what it is actually going to look like. The second problem is who is paying for the dress? The owner and staff is always putting the emphasis on what the bride wants. If the bride wants it that badly, then she needs to foot the bill.

[@georgina-a]

@@brookemcb You sound young (no offence 💕), so please let me give you a big piece of advice that I wish someone had given me when I was younger... Only take advice on what is big or small from health professionals. That's because we're all built differently, with different fat and muscle ratios, so height and weight is an awful way to tell if someone is healthy - it's more complicated than that. For example, muscle is heavier than fat, so if you just judged on height and weight, most Olympic athletes would be technically obese, or even morbidly obese, when they're some of the healthiest and fittest people on the planet. You said you're not 5' yet, which is why I'm guessing you're young. When you're growing you need lots of extra energy, vitamins and minerals in order to grow healthily. So please don't even consider a diet without the advice of a doctor or dietician. If you want to be careful, just eat healthily - a bit of everything, lots of fruit and veg, and limited fast food/sugary snacks. Don't compare yourself to others. You are you - your body is unique and so long as you are healthy, numbers like height and weight are not important. Comparing yourself to others, on and off line, from such an early age can lead to eating disorders and really knock your confidence completely unnecessarily. It really isn't healthy. Keep fit and active, eat well, speak to your doctor if you're worried, and you will be the healthiest, best shape possible 💖 Keep smiling x

@@brookemcb Im not much older than you so I don’t know if my advice will be right or help lol but if I were you I would just not worry about it until I’m older and it actually become a problem, you aren’t that heavy anyway, and if you are actually worried you can join a simple school sport, idk that helped me but I know that sports aren’t for everyone

EDIT to clarify: it's hard to know in what way the mother meant her statement, but one of the ways it could be taken was "I know you're insecure about your body so you should hide it", as if to remind her daughter that she was insecure during her moment of self-love. I'm sure it could've been meant in the "I know how much you love your body, but-" as well. We'll never know, but the point is this mom is not being supportive. If she knows how much her daughter loves her body (unlike hundreds of daughters who get ED's because of their moms), then she should be supportive!
