Any chance she's aware extreme thinness can be a barrier to conceiving for some women and she's trying to put some weight on you so she might be able to look forward to a grandchild?

It may be, if she could honestly tell me we could talk about it but it's the open comments and the pleasure she gets when seeing me eating that annoys me.. I don't know.. we just measured our blood pressure and glucose and I got normal range but she got a bit on the high side; I also showed her my weight history so she can see I used to weight less without any issues before and she seemed to be understanding then but after in front of everyone she keeps filling up my plate , not even asking beforehand; when Im out of the kitchen she brings over extra "snacks" (which FIL accidentally confess she pour sesame oil inside even if it wasn't part of the recipe) and today she said: "I'm learning your eating habits so I'm going to eat exactly what you eat" ..its not the food as much as the drama around it

Got it. So, someday she's going to criticize the way you raise your kids too. Fun. Really hope you don't live with/near her.

Sounds like she is a tad competitive.

Exactly... it's even making me rethink many things ; good thing husband has noticed it too and the visit is temporary. She is not a bad person but is just that behavior that can get tiresome.. Anyhow thank you for the support sometimes what I need is just a bit of ranting and then it's fine :)

I have a new: today she tried again to overfeed, she went: "Here have more rice FIL made it specially for you" and made sure to say it in front of everyone , I went "yes it was good but no thank you, I'm full" and physically had to stop her for serving ..it made me feel so bad for FIL but I didn't really wanted to eat; then she said: " oh yeah, you are right We need to eat less I was going to serve myself more but now I think I'm fine" ..I never commented on her body so I wanted to say something back but there is also a big language barrier so I just went: "ok"😖 felt so shitty afterwards ..

I think you did a good job and she sounds like MIL admitted she is feeding you cuz she wants to eat instead!
