Gaining weight and my mom is being weird about it?

[Anonymous]

So I'm trying to gain a bit of weight so I could have slightly bigger boobs (which is kind of happening..boob-wise but slowly..haha) and my Mom keeps on saying things like "I don't know if these pants will still fit you since you insist on gaining weight" and "you have a huge propensity to be overweight" and "you are trying to get fat aren't you?" I mean I haven't told her I'm trying to get bigger boobs because I don't think I need to. But I am not getting fat and I never have been fat so what's her deal? If anything I just have slightly bigger curves. Like I don't understand why she keeps on saying stuff about it and joking about it. My siblings sometimes do this too. What should I do? It's really starting to irritate me. -_- Oh and I'm 19.

Well, if your mom is/was ever overweight or if your dad, grandma etc was then that's probably what she means by "propensity to be overweight". It sounds like your mom might be pretty insecure and pushing her insecurity onto you. Seriously you're young and healthy... what could be more fun than putting on a few pounds!. Don't even tell her what you're trying to do because she seems to be overreacting/thinking you have no self control.

[Asker]

Yeah...but then again I do have a history of not being the most responsible teenager..haha..but when I really want something (rare that it is..haha)..I will go for it..like if I really don't want to get overweight..i can do it...but my Mom's kind of a worrywart...so she's concerned for me. I don't think it is insecurity because she isn't overweight...but she is just really concerned about it...even though I tell her I'm fine...heh heh.

The thing is, not ALL girls gain weight in the chest area...

Most girls gain it either in the midsection or hips/thighs and it's not until they're like 50 lbs overweight that is shows all over

I personally wouldn't risk it, but then again I have big breasts and I happen to know how my body works when I gain/lose weight. If you haven't gained or lost weight, you may be in for a surprise

[Asker]

So basically I'm doomed? lol...jkjk...hmm..well I don't want to get huge boobs or anything..just a couple sizes up is all...and it seems I am slowly getting bigger boobs...I was thinking that if I do not get my desired size by 23 years old...then I'll just remain with what I've got...because I am not insecure with it..I'm pretty accepting of what I've got now...but I'd just like a little bit more in the chest area. I'll try not to let my weight get out of hand. thanks. :)

The weight may not go to your boobs...it's all based on your bodytype. In fact, your mom's body is a solid indicator of where your weight will go to.

A pic (with your face cropped out for privacy) will help us better see where your body stores fat.

Cauz frankly...u don't want to gain weight and make yourself unhealthy JUST to get bigger boobs...if it's not gonna work.

[Asker]

Yeah I know...most of the weight is going to my hip and butt area...and a bit of it is going to the boob area so so far...I'm not fat or anything...just not as thin as before. If it gets unhealthy then by all means I'll stop gaining the weight. thanks for the answer. :)

Girls who say they have curves but have smaller boobs

#laughter

[peace-love-couture]

Pear shaped bodies have smaller breasts and bigger hips and they're curvy:

[the90swerethebest]

Like I said, if she has small boobs and says she's curvy, I'm just going to simply laugh

[Asker]

Well my curvy bit is more around my butt and hip area and slightly growing...hence why I am trying to get bigger boobs...hello..lol. And I don't have a weird shape...so I don't understand the "#laughter"...but okay. haha...yeah...your answer wasn't helpful at all dude...XD Oh and I agree...the 90s were the best..or at least the most recent best. :D

[the90swerethebest]

Hashtag laughter, it's a twitter reference! ...and yes, my answer DID help

[Asker]

I know what "#laughter" means...lol...everyone uses it. I just don't understand what the "laughter" was for...(like what's funny about it). And how the hell did your answer help me at all? hahaha. xD

[the90swerethebest]

Think about it

[Asker]

-_-...um...yeah..still not helping dude. oh forget it. I'm no longer interested in what you mean. never mind.

[the90swerethebest]

I think you are

[Asker]

Lol.

[risingphoenix201011]

Just because you gain weight doesn't mean it'll all go to your boobs. It could go to your stomach, thighs, butt, face, and hardly to your breasts at all.

[Asker]

Yeah I know..blehh...but I do seem to be growing a bit in the boob area...so there is some progress..haha...I have a theory...if I don't get bigger boobs (like the exact size I want) by 23...I'll just suck it up and remain with the boobs I got..lol. ;P

[risingphoenix201011]

My boobs quit growing when I was 18. Then when I got pregnant they got pretty big and stayed bigger. A whole cup size.

[Asker]

Well cool. But that's the thing..I don't plan on having kids...heh heh...so the bigger boobs because of pregnancy doesn't really concern me. And I would never get surgery...so all I can do is gain weight and see what happens...;P

[trustinggod]

just do what you think is best for you but don't let it get out of control, may I ask how did you gain the weight because am trying to gain a couple of pounds.

[Asker]

Eating without much exercise...haha...like I was doing more sports in high school and stuff...and now I'm not. I've always ate alot..so just eating really is how I have been gaining some weight...the difference now is that I do not do sports/exercise as much and I think my great metabolism is slowing down a bit. heh heh. I'm determined to not get out of control. You don't either! heh heh.

[trustinggod]

yeah I eat, what kids of foods did you eat and how many meals should I eat each day

[Asker]

Um...well I eat a lot of cheese and bread and cereal and chicken and rice once in a while. You can still do the three meals a day thing and just eat the things I listed above. I also snack on stuff alot...like chocolates. But I also have some yogurt and fruit a bit too.

[trustinggod]

OK thank you am going to try that,how soon did you start seeing results?

[Asker]

Hmm...idk exactly...sometime in my freshman yr. of college...:P The Freshmen 15 hit me. haha.

She sounds like a biatch :/

[Asker]

She's not. She's actually pretty awesome. She is just a huge worry wart and doesn't want me to get fat and unhealthy and unhappy...but I repeatedly tell her that's not what will happen and not what I'm going to do...but she continues to get all crazy worried. :/

[Opinion Owner]

well that's good, but worry warts drive me crazy because then I start to worry too haha

[Asker]

Yep...I know how that goes...heh heh. :P
