Never Good Enough

My mom gave me this super cute J Crew mustard skirt almost three years ago. I couldn't fit into it, but took it anyway, hopeful that one day post partum, it'd fit! 

My mom also gave me these super cute Sam Edelman ankle strap close toed heels with faux fur in a deep purple. She got them on sale at Fashion Island in the OC at Bloomingdales (which is why I didn't initially return them for store credit like I would if they were from Nordstrom). 

So... I thought it'd be nice to send her a photo to show her mom, I fit into the skirt and i finally was wearing the heels she got me! 

I thought she'd be flattered or excited. 
I got three missed calls tonight in the span of ten minutes...


Of course, I was so very wrong. 

First, she asked me if I was still doing that diet (I did the Fast Metabolism Diet back in November). I'm actually not on the diet but I pretend I am so I can live off of the principles without thinking much about it... I mindless eat for comfort a lot so it's been good for me to sorta be on the diet during the day. Anyway, I told her no but I still have some weight to loose or love handles, so yes I do have weight loss goals not quite met. 

Your legs look a chicken's and you're too skinny! You need to stop losing weight, you're perfect now! 

I'm not a new Chinese daughter. I know this scene, it's happened over and over before and here I am, still confident more crap is to come.. Maybe not today but also not someday, more like a day in the near future...

As if that was it, she then told me I shouldn't wear such high heels. "You gave me those heels and they're only 2 inches high! You told me they're great heels cuz there not that high!" Ugh, Chinese moms... You can never win with them!
