My toxic entitled mom is demanding that I gain 25 pounds for my sister's wedding,

0:05.3

simply because she doesn't want my sister to look as fat as she does in her wedding photos.

0:10.0

Because after I lost about 25 pounds recently, they've all been treating me incredibly different.

0:14.9

And now I feel like I'm at an impasse because at this point, I don't know what to do.

0:18.8

Here's what happened.

0:19.8

Okay, so to provide some kind of context, about a few months ago, my sister and I were both slightly overweight.

0:25.6

Not exactly fat, but we both would have handled losing maybe about 20 pounds.

0:29.6

So eventually I started working out, and eventually I lost 25 pounds, and I was very happy with myself,

0:35.6

and I actually started to feel confident again. However,

0:38.7

my sister had a busier schedule and she never found time to consistently work out. I knew she felt

0:44.2

insecure about that because I was noticeably skinnier than her, but we both were able to move past

0:49.3

that for a while until she got engaged. Once she got engaged, she really tried to lose weight,

0:53.9

but was never able to lose more than a few pounds. And she got engaged, she really tried to lose weight, but was never able to

0:55.0

lose more than a few pounds. And she was really stressing about that, to the point where she would have

0:59.7

meltdowns about it. Well, eventually, our mom came to me and started telling me about how much

1:04.9

my sister struggles with her body image. And she thought that I should gain back 25 pounds for the

1:10.5

wedding, because apparently if

1:12.0

me and my sister were together for pictures she would look fatter than me and she was really worried

1:16.7

about that well I refused to do that because I worked really hard to lose weight and I wasn't going

1:21.5

to lose all of my work however my mom was very mad at me saying stuff like if you loved her

1:27.2

then you would do what you need to do to help out, even if it's hard. But I still said no. My mom then told my sister, and she's been ignoring me. And my mom said that I could no longer be the maid of honor if I didn't gain weight. So seriously, is this deeper than I thought? Or am I seriously in the wrong in this situation? Because right now, I really don't know what to do. This has got to be the most delusional thing I've ever seen in my life. First of all, no, you're definitely not the jerk. These people are out of their minds if they think this is reasonable in any kind of way. Like, let's really think about what they're asking you right now. They're demanding that you gain 25 pounds so that your sister

2:01.0

doesn't look as fat in her wedding photos. And it's like, wait a second, what is actually happening
