My mom

I am living at home for the rest of the summer and my mom thinks I am to skinny --which only in her mind I am-- so shes like force feeding me. This is annoying/frustrating and causing alot of tension between us.

Any advice?

Could there possibly be some truth to what she's saying?  What are your stats (height, weight, etcetera)?

Maybe try to explain nutrition to her and show her that you're eating enough.  Perhaps try to do some activities with her like going for walks.  What about offering to cook meals?

Yes, it would be nice to know your stats so we could give specific ideas on things you might say/show her.

I'm 5'9 and fluctuate betwen 140-145 ...so perfectly fine according to the BMI calc.

Well, one good question is, does she see you eat? You can eat with her, show her that you know how to eat well and take care of yourself. Maybe she thinks you have an eating disorder.

Did you recently lose quite a bit of weight before you came home?  If so, maybe she just is not used to seeing the 'new you'. That has happened a lot with my friends who haven't seen me in a long time.

I am home for the summer, and my parents are in the similar situation.  What I suggest you do is increase your intake of healthy fruits and vegetables, cut out as much fat as you can, eat your daily recommended calories, but just work out a lot!

I have limited what I eat, I am 6'0, 200lbs. average build, and have lost about 15lbs since the beginning of June.  I eat only about 1,250-2,000 calories a day, which is really below what I should be, but I take a multivitamin, and eat a lot of healthy food (mainly fruits, vegetables, salads with light dressing, 35 calorie bread, etc) and a lot of fiber so I am not tired, and I feel great. I work out once or twice a day, and have really been seeing some improvement.

I definitely recommend getting your mother involved with you. Perhaps walk in the morning or late at night. It can bring you guys closer, as well as provide a nice relaxing time for you to come together and talk.   Offer to make a healthy dinner.

You should show her you're eating healthy, and by working out, toning your muscles, getting in shape, you'll feel better, look better, and your family will know you're really taking care of yourself and not just dieting.  Try showing her the full spectrum of good health!

unless she is prying your mouth open and shoveling food in, no one can force feed you. You should make it very clear to her that you are not on a mission to become super skinny and that you are making healthy lifestyle changes. Sometimes parent's just don't understand...(ha)

Something similar happened to me at my job.  My co-workers all new I was trying to loose weight and were all used to seeing me overweight.  So when I finally got down to 130lbs, they started saying I was too skinny and anerexic.  I wasn't, but I think they were so used to seeing me overweight and the fact I lost the weight, even slowly, they probably thought I wasn't going to stop dieting.
