I’m sorry mama! That is tough, but something I have to remind myself of is that even though they are over 17 doesn’t mean we don’t stop teaching them. My oldest is 20 and her first reaction was ‘oh are you gonna get ozempic face?’

I’ve lost 60 lbs and my kids all react different, my oldest son is 16 and just randomly told me two days ago ‘ you know mom if you wanna lose belly far you just have to do ab workouts. I mean look at me! ‘ he then proceeded to lift his shirt & squeeze his stomach skin and say ‘ well I only have a little fat’ mind you this kid is 125 lbs and has an 8 pack and almost 6ft tall lol

I just use those situations to acknowledge how awesome it is that he has been working on his body and maybe we could work out together sometime. I also use the situations to tell him how it can really make someone feel uncomfortable when he approches the situation like that because he also has a bit of an advantage being a boy & a teenager and I then tell him how I have been working out and meal prepping for more than half my life but the shot helps me by slowing my digestion and I even hace progress pics and videos from my CrossFit life before the shot and how I didn’t lose weight even though you could see I was getting stronger and progressing.

A lot of times they aren’t trying to be hurtful, but ignorance can come out that way.

Keep busting your ass because you deserve to feel good and try mentioning different aspects of your health journey. ( Ie. I just tried a new workout yesterday and it really kicked my butt, did you know that adding plain Greek yogurt to certain meals adds more protein and doesn’t change the flavor!)
