    I had one grandmother who never had much nice to say about anyone and one who was quite the racist. The first one I put in her place and she learned that I was not to be messed with the other I told after hearing a terrible Jew joke to never speak that way around me again. That was the end of that.

    Grandma? In the case of granny shiving you like that, respond with, "Oh by the way, about the resolution of your estate ..."

    My mom sneered at me that I could still lose plenty of weight when I said I didn't think I really wanted to lose anymore. I was a size 6 in pants (like an XS on top) at the time and terribly unhealthy. Some people are just awful like that. I'm sorry that you've got one of them.

    Edit: just noticed the photos, you're looking great. And I don't blame you for not wanting to be at a weight where you feel bad but thin.

    There are a lot of people, of all ages, with no tact.
    I am an old lady and I think you look great!

    this (BMI 20.5 or so) was about 3kg above the weight I apparently "looked nice" at.. I know it was technically still normal for my height, but sheesh! I guess it probably looked nice when i had my sweaters on but... I ended up constantly sick for about a year after dropping to that weight -despite trying to stay active and eat right.. so I'm assuming it's not a good goal weight for me 2xtfmwjj0s5l.jpg

    also, yeah.. I guess I should just avoid mentinoning diets or exercise or weight around my grandma - I think she means well, but a lot of it comes across kinda... harsh and full of "woo" at times <3

    You look fantastic.

    Before I'd left SD, a neighbour's mother popped over to say hullo ( my sister and I know her from LV), where she complimented me initially for losing weight. I literally lost the equivalent of 3 adult females - ONLY to add, " Well, you don't have a 10 inch waist, but you're going to get there." (Malicious smile). She is 56. Constantly teased me for being a member of the itty bitty titty and booty committee. I just replied, " I'm recomping. Satisfied with the way I'm progressing. Am not targeting to attain the body measurements of an 8 years old female. That would be a mental institution qualifier, don't you think?" I'm 6ft, 159lbs though small boned, with full B cup breasts.

    Her ridiculousness is hers.

    When was the last time Grandma got her eyes checked?
