Spoke to my fat mother about her weight today. She claims to be doing the best she can at life ( she as severe injuries), yet still won't put her fork down, and I'm sick of it. Her responses go along the lines of "I hope it gives me a heart attack" "I've given up, everyone has a breaking point" "Thanks for making me feel even worse than I already felt AngryAlmond" "I have no other pleasures in life, and you want to take this one thing away from me" "How would you do berrer handling the immense amounts of pain I'm in?" "You have no idea how much agony I am in every day" and, of course "My thyroid." (Which I called her out on as being an excuse).
She struggles with major back problems due to her injuries. News flash Mom: Being a the size of an overgrown elephant ISN'T HELPING. I am SO SICK of her going on and on about how she hates her life and how there is nothing to be done about the pain, and that's she's doing her best when she's shovelling shit into her mouth. No Mom, you're not. YES, you would still be in IMMENSE pain even if you lost weight. YES, your injuries would still be there, and life would still suck. But you don't get to bitch about it all the time if you're actively making it worse. Just because you did your therapies ten years ago doesn't mean you've done everything you can. Her outlook is basically "because I've done a lot, I can give up."
She thinks that because she puts effort into our family (which she does) that she has a free pass to moan about how awful things are and how much she hates herself. Just because you try hard and excel in some areas DOES NOT mean that you get to give up in others. It would be like if I thought that since I did such a nice job brushing my hair, that I didn't need to clip my toenails.
"I know I'm not doing a good enough job." You know what Mom, you're right. And I'm going to keep calling you out on your crap. Hating yourself doesn't give you a pass.
It is on days like today when I can't wait to be 18 and get the hell out of here.

Does she get the concept of net pain? Ie, something can cause pain to go down a little temporarily, then up a lot, permanently, thus increasing her total amount of pain?
Why, I'd stab myself with a pen to give myself even more pain, of course. That's just as logical as putting on fat to give myself even more pain. Seriously, I'd take a hot bath or do just about anything that's physically pleasurable. Being fat is the opposite of physically pleasurable. Fat people really are like drug addicts. They don't get that they have a future self.
Emotional abuse. It's all your fault for making her feel bad! Her feelings are 100% caused by you! I hate people like that. Feelings are pretty much 100% under our control. They're one of the only things we control. The fact that someone cries about not getting their way always makes me hate them even more. Like, they're trying to shovel it on you.

Cant save people from themselves. Theres always one more excuse for why we are doing what we are doing.
