OMG.. my mom did and does the same, very strict with body maintenance. The "moment on the lips, lifetime on the hips" speeches. Made worse by the fact that I'm the only girl in the household growing up, with my dad and all my brothers. So she was extra when it came to appearances. Even does that til this day. Now I just got it into my head that being fat is not an option. I have to catch myself at times, making comments with my own daughter so that she doesn't have a complex; awareness and balance is key. But impressive how your mom maintained herself after 4 kids.I was raised around white people my whole life. And my mom fat shamed us growing up. My mom was a size 0 with 4 kids. She was not trying to have any fat daughters lmao.
