Rant. Emotions. Crying. Enter Post At Own Risk.

I was at my grandmother's 85th birthday party and my dad asked: "When did you and [your aunt] get so fat?" At that time, I weighed all of 135 lbs (I'm 5'1"); people can be so thoughtless - not because they're being mean, but just because they don't THINK before they say things.

I should have asked him when he got so stupid - but that makes me mean and I'm not a mean person.

Big hug from me.

If I had a dollar for everytime I heard, "you've got such a pretty face, if only you'd lose weight." I'd be rich. Too many people don't know when to just shut up. Try not to let it get thebest of you. I'm a work in progree myself and I've come to the realization that no matter who hurts me, I have to keep moving forward. I have to live wth me the rest of my life, not them.

Love you all!!!! We can do this! I had to face this man today, and write an auto policy for his daughter...he came into the office and told a stupid story and we all made fun of him when he left. It felt good!

I'm sorry for what happened *hugs* people sometime don't have that filter from the brain to the mouth, I hear all the time "you carry your weight well" oh well jeez thanks I guess! What the heck is that suppossed to mean???

And in regards to family (esp grandmothers) I think that's the way they are, the last time I saw my grandmother (about 3 years ago) she said to me "boy you paid all that money and you look the same, for what you paid you could've got plastic surgery" um, thanks happy holidays to you as well.

Anyway, you will be looking hot soon I promise!

Honey, you probably WERE hungry all the time if you were at 125 lbs and your mom was monitoring your food intake! I'm sure he didn't mean the comment to be insulting or hurtful, but I understand why it upset you. Try not to let it get you down...keep moving forward towards your new self and don't beat yourself up for being who you are now.
