It sounds like you are using your weight as a reason your MIL acts weird. It's too bad she has a problem, it sounds like you are a great DIL. Don't let her problem/ behavior change you. Good Luck.

Hey sweet hope all is well with you aside from the problem you mentioned above. I'm am going to ask you a question and I pray you don't get offended by it. Why do you care how she feels or what she is blaming you for? You didn't marry you married her son and the only concern should be what your husband thinks and feels. And from what I am reading you and your husband have a great relationship. Any man that stands up to his momma for his wife is a great man. You do what you need to do for you and Jr marriage. If you are feeling bad about your weight talk to your husband about it what she says and feels doesn't matter. Here is a tip for you the next time she says anything negative about ur weight ask her when she would like to start walking with you because it sounds like you really are concerned about my health and I appreciate it so much, so when shall we start walking together. Thks is a perfect way to counteract someone who is trying to embarrass u in public. You turn her negative comments to u into a positive responds to her. And as the commercial says never let them see you sweat. She will either quit acting so childest and grow up or not fool with you at all which should be ok with you any way it goes. When she begins to accuse of and blaming you for something negative concerning her son you say nothing to her s you let your husband handle her, you never want to be accused of being mean and nasty to her. Hope I helped a bit.

Yea Divanurse that is good advice & it is awesome the way sweet mama accepted it. I will have this tucked in my back pocket for when I need it.

I live with my 102 year old mil, today I wanted to eat cause of the dementia. I am forcing myself to just breathe and deal w/ the emotion, she is the most loving woman I know. Because I did not eat and instead prayed, I discovered part of my frustration/anger/impatience is cause the woman I knew is already gone and I am left w/ a shell of the prior woman. This is progress for me cause I thought I just could not stand her anymore.

Rose congrats on the progress especially for not eating. Prayer is an excellent detractors. What I also would include if you don't mind. When u have those times were you frustrated with urban mil...step away and grab you a journal a book of somkind, and write down the wonderful memories you have her.when you do this find you a quite place where you can reflect about her and before long those things that were frustrating you are now a distance memory. This serves twofold s a distraction and a memory book that you will have after she is gone. I would find a favorite photo of her more than one would be fine to place on the book and it will serve as a comfort to you later on down the road when you are needing a loving fix of your mil. Hope this helps a little

My MIL was a MIL from hell and I learned one very very important life lesson from her... How never to treat my future DIL. I'm going to be the bestest MIL ever there was.

OP..my weight was a huge conflict also. Strange thing was I was never over 150 lbs, before she passed away. I know how you feel though.. Just the underlying comments were like lemon on an open wound. Once my DH and I got into an argument and she asked me if maybe we'd be happier if I didn't weigh so much!?!

my ex-MIL gave me hell back in the day ( her son & I broke up 20 yrs ago) but I see her often..and she loves to throw in my face how tiny I used to be, especially in front of the ex's new wife....

I dont let it bother me.... I respond by telling her how her son kept me knocked up and my extra pounds are due to her grandchildren... shuts em all up every time

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.
