How old are you? I don't mean any insult in any way - it just would help clarify your situation with your mom.

DUH- I just reread your post, and you're 21. That explains a lot. It doesn't excuse her negative comments, though. You feel like you're grown up, your mom thinks you're "only 21". I would suggest that #1 you stop shopping with your mom and #2 you calmly and clearly tell her that you are losing this weight in a safe manner, and doing it only for yourself. Tell her that her comments hurt you, and ask her to stop. Use the old "if you can't say anything nice, please don't say anything at all." I'm not saying you'll get through to her, but you never know! I do know that when my kids really behave in a mature manner, I respond differently to them. Do NOT raise your voice - be calm.
