Need to vent

I WANT TO SCREAM!!!

Could one of you please have a discussion with my mom?!?!?!?

Yesterday after my Jenny Craig appointment, she asked me if I'd lost any more weight and I said that I was down 4½ pounds. :D And she said well isn't that a lot? And I said NO not when you regained 20 during the holidays! And she said you regained 20? and I said NO but it feels like I did...it's probably more like 10. (Which I just checked my chart and it's almost 10 pounds gained since mid-October).

So she asked how much farther I have to go and I said until I reach my goal or they want me to renew. And she asked my goal so I said 150. She asked how far I was from my goal and I said around 30 pounds.

Now here's the mad part:

She says: 150? That's too little. You're middle-aged now so you don't NEED to lose that much!!

I said Mom I'm 5'8" and my weight range is 125-160. (I just looked it up--it's actually 125-164.)

NOW MY VENT:

Why the heck can't I weigh 150 and be in good shape?!?!?!?!? I am NOT too old!!!! Like Tony (et al) says, you're NEVER too old.

Doesn't she realize how hurtful she's being? Or is she just so dammed jealous & depressed that she wants everyone to be too? Or rather, just me?

And this is from the same women who's been telling me to lose weight for years now...even decades!

Maybe this is bothering more because I'm being weaned off Prozac so I can start a new drug (that'll replace two prescriptions). Or because I'm getting my period AGAIN even tho I just had it two weeks ago.

ARGH!! I despise feeling like this!
