Does Fat-Shaming Count as Verbal Abuse?

I am a fourteen year old girl, and my mum has constantly made me feel insecure about my weight, for about a year or so.

I used to be a couple kilograms overweight, but I began to exercise more and soon lost those extra kilos, and am now a healthy weight.

Despite this, my mum kept (and keeps) making remarks about my body, telling me I should stop whenever I eat anything, saying general things about being fat and needing to lose weight, and somehow links everything back to weight. I now can't eat anything without feeling guilty, exercise, not for the real health benefits, but to avoid gaining weight, and always check myself in a mirror to see that I don't look fat.

The thing is, I know I'm not fat, and there are moments when I'm really happy about my body, but all it takes is one comment from my mum for everything to come crashing back down. At first, I though that she was just concerned about my health, but the way she talks to me is not helpful at all. She chooses to say everything in a way that hurts, and she's made weight my biggest insecurity.

So that has just led me to the question, does this technically count as verbal abuse?
