When my mother saw my almost bare chubby body one time, she said,
“Seeing your body upsets me.”
It hurt me.
It hurt to know that my mother feels sad when she sees me,
And that she feels sorry for me.
It saddens me that she feels pity toward me, not love.
I keep losing weight and gaining it again,
But I’ve accepted my body,
And I love it.
But I was shocked by my mother’s words.
