Maybe she is genuinely concerned for your health, but she doesn't really know the proper way to convey that to you. Try and calmly explain to her that you wish to loose weight, but need her help and not her sarcasm. Or if you're truly happy with yourself then explain that to her. Let her know, kindly, that you are happy in your life and not really looking to change anything.

You have to ignore her let it go in one ear and out the other and answer yes mom I know and I am gonna do something about it. And tell her if she doesnt stop being negative towards you its not gonna help. If you decide to lose the weight go Curves for women only its a great place you work out 30 min and your done the people are very nice there. Its cardio and strengthing some also offer a weight loss class which is very helpful if you do both you will lose the weight. I joined 5 months ago and lost 25 pounds.Good luck

OK so there is no excuse for her being rude about it, but she's your mom, maybe she is worried about your weight. Do some exercise and try to loose a few lbs then you can answer her back and explain you are doing your best to loose some weight but would appreciate some positive encouragement rather than negative rude comments.

I would say just walk away and do something when she starts talking about this. Hence she would come to know that if she wants to talk to you, she cannot raise this topic.
But ultimately the only way to stop this permanently is to let her know that you are on a routine e.g. gym, jogging, diet to watch your weight, then she will stop nagging you forever. At least you tried doing something.

Your mother has a divine right to voice an opinion, in only the way that mothers have.
However, she has no right to abuse you verbally!
Tell her to get on with her own life. Or, pick on one of her own faults every time she brings up your weight issue.
She should soon get the message!

Explain to her that it hurts your feelings when she brings up your weight, and you want her to stop. It used to hurt mine when people made fun of my weight, and I know what you're going through. I can't imagine a Mother continuing to do it, even after she knows it hurts you.so she'll stop after your talk. Good Luck!

Does she have any flaws that she doesn't want to hear about? Make a pact that you won't bring it up if she won't bring up your weight.
That said, as annoying as she may be, she probably really means well. Take that into account.

Say "Mom, I appreciate your opinion. However, when we talk about this it just upsets me and I really don't want to keep getting upset with you - I need more of your support than your criticism and you can start supporting me by not making me feel bad about myself." Good luck.

Anytime she brings up the subject you should start singing tunes from "Gigi". It will either confuse or annoy her.
