I was just wondering if anyone else's parents don't say they are proud of them? I have been working very hard at losing weight and lost 6.5 pounds this week for a total of 11 pounds. I was so happy. My doctor said he was proud of me. I told a friend, she said she was proud of me. Then I called my mom and told her. She said her usual good for you, congratulations. I asked her aren't you proud of me? She couldn't say 5 simple words. "I am proud of you." Then she says I will be happier if you lost more. Then I get to hear how well my brother is doing. I hung up with her. Now I am feeling depressed. I keep thinking of all the times I wished she would have said those words, like when I graduated from college, when I made the Dean's list, when I used to make the honor roll etc. I don't know why I keep trying to get her approval, because I never get it. So I was wondering if anyone elses parents are like this.
