My mom has become a health nut and it’s ruining our relationship. All she talks about is nutrition.She works out all the time and gets upset if anyone is idle. She’s constantly calorie counting everyone in the household. I can’t even enjoy a meal anymore

Tell her to stop pocket watching. Or whatever the health nut equivalent of that is.

Sounds like she’s having a midlife crisis. Just talk to her to join the conversation, listen like you care ever so often etc she will get past it, but it sounds like something recently scared her.

Yeah when I do she gets upset and tells me I’m gonna die of cancer like my grandma. I dunno what’s happened to her as this is a recent development

I feel like pretty much everything is cancer causing these days. Either you’ll get it or you won’t. Obviously don’t do unhealthy shit for the sake of it, but it sounds like she needs to calm down and realize that her choices aren’t also everyone else’s choices in your house.

Yes I agree. Luckily my friend is a total bro and takes me out for ice cream and my favorite foods when she’s not looking

Yes her mother passed away. I’ve tried to talk to her about it but she refuses to. I never saw her cry really either when she passed. She’s a stubborn and reserved person by nature

Then as much as you don’t want too, I say listen and be a part of her journey while you’re home. But don’t stay home too often if you’re able to go out. This is how she’s processing her mother’s death. Maybe even ask if you can help her research things.

How long ago did your grandma pass? This might be grief related anxiety

Unlikely but I’ve seen it happen to others. I think it’s more about her mother’s passing due to cancer. Her mom was never a healthy person. She’s trying to rationalize it
