Aww Louise don't feel bad. my mother did at to me too. But since I am very strong-willed I todl her how much I hated it. It took a while for her to realize how hurt I really was. Just stand up for yourself and tell her how she is not helping you any by telling you how fat you are. Sometimes parents thin they are helping you by telling you you are overwight (as if you don't already know). Just explain yourself, that's all you can do. And if she doesn't care, show her how much you care by actually trying to lose weight FOR YOURSELF (not for her). And never feel like dying. Life is already short enough. *SMYLE 4 YOU*
