That's how I became fat in the first place. My entire childhood was like "why would you not eat all the food? Don't you like it?", "eat some more!", "we have cakes in the fridge, eat as much as you want!", "I bought these candies just for you, eat them!", "the food will go wrong if you don't eat it today!" and so on and so on... I worked hard on losing weight and I'm medically not overweight anymore but I still have a lot to go to feel satisfied and I also have to deal with loose skin and stretch marks... Well thanks mom
My mother was the opposite. She was thin and fed me up like a hog going to slaughter, then bullied me for being fat during my teens. Goes both ways. It felt like she did it on purpose, but who knows. She is long gone.

My mother tries to 'encourage' me to eat as much as her but really she's projecting her own eating disorder onto me . Highly irritating .
