My Mom is Trying to Destroy My Dreams

that makes sense! Stress does awful things to your body. I'm sure you know this, but just because you bake doesn't make you overweight. That's like saying that if you stand next to water, you're wet. It doesn't make any sense. It sounds like your mom isn't very supportive of you in general. As hard as it is, try to tune out those hurtful comments. You can succeed and love yourself without her approval or support. For me, that was my dad. I just had my eye on getting out of the house and independent of him. College was awesome for that. The future is bright! I'm confident that you can do more than you think ❤

i'm so sorry. that is horrible. i don't know what it is with mothers & weight, but it seems to be a central trauma for a lot of us. :( you should live up to your dreams! keep baking, work to have your own private business & bakery, & keep being you!!! 💗🍰🧁 when you're a world renowned baker, shoot me a dm & i'll come try your sweets! 😁 we believe in you!!!

that really, really sucks. it's so hard to be dealing with such hurtful bs from your own parents. unfortunately when you still live with or spend a considerable amount of time with them, the easiest options (which aren't even all that easy) are tuning them out and being as kind to yourself as you possibly can, or puting your foot down and expressing your boundaries and/or grievances, or some combination of the two... it's very situational and the decision always relies on your discretion and what will foster your safety. i'm going through similar struggles with my parents as well, so needless to say i'm only figuring this out as i go too. strength to the both of us. i would also say to try and remember that her judgments and cruelty have far more to do with her own pain and deprivation than they've ever had to do with you. and remember to always try and speak sweetly to yourself, the way you desire and deserve to be spoken to.
