Moms usually mean well, but sometimes they can make us feel just plain awful about ourselves, via Mom comments (aka "mom-ments") about our weight. For example, here are a few things my own personal mother has uttered to me:* Do you think your weight might be the reason you haven't found a job?
* Is a 3X going to be BIG enough?
* [holding up a photo] Look at how THIN you used to be!
I'm never going to change my mother--nor you yours--but changing my weight might just get the hurtful, fat-related mom-ments to stop.
