The ABSURD things people say.....

My dad the nag is constantly telling me that if you don't lose weight no guy's gonna marry you. Actually a lot of people have told me this. One lady flat out told me that I am going to die alone if I don't lose the flab and take care of my appearance.

When I had lost about 40 pounds, my friend said to me. You know. I’m glad you lost weight because I was embarrassed to walk down the street with you! I was silent and then told her. You know. You really shouldn’t say that. I’m the same person I was then and I’m sitting right here. I can hear you!

Oh wow. I'm so sorry!
I think your reply was much nicer than mine would have been, and I admire you for that.

I get this alot "Well, we don't want to eat that stuff that you make all the time for dinner. We're sick of being on a diet too just because YOU'RE fat. You can stop and pick up something from Sonic for us and eat your gross diet food when you get home"

I also hear "Ohhhhhh, look... you're being good today [referring to my home made lunch in the lunch room]. I guess you just can't have REAL food anymore."

And of course the "If you just didn't have all the belly roll you would be totally skinny" Said while grabbing my stomach... literally, people I'm not related to or sleeping with reaching out, criticizing the part of my body I hate the most and then putting their hands on me and giving it a good jiggle.

:noway:

NOOOO WAAAAYYYYY! I'm so sorry you've had to experience this from your home life. And as for the *kitten* grabbing bits of you - I hope you reported them to the police for assault and/or sexual harassment.
