Is it wrong that I lashed out on my mom for getting mad for me for going to the gym? I started going to the gym senior year of high school because my family was constantly calling me fat and making fun of my body and I was going through eating issues. Literally my whole life I got called fat. Even at 150-160 ( I am 5’7) my family would call me fat and degrade my body. I was sick of it and used my anger into going into the gym. I ended up losing weight. Then one day (two years later when I was a freshman in college) I went downstairs to cook beef. I told my mom I saw one of her friend at the gym. She then proceeded to have an attitude the whole conversation. She was saying how I’m not eating healthy because the beef is red meat and I need to be eating more chicken. And she was saying how all I care about is my looks and I don’t put this much energy in praying. I put all my energy into the gym. And this triggered a meltdown and I proceeded to say “well you always would call me fat, so why do you have an issue with me going to the gym”? My aunt was there and told me to shut up and how disrespectful I am. An then she threw an object at me. And I called her a bully and started crying. Then my sibling was also proceeding to call me fat all the time, and make fun of me for being big. Telling people how fat I gotten. My family has been really cruel when it came to my weight and I’m sick of it. But was I wrong for what I said? Because she keeps bringing up how I called her a bully.
