I COME FROM A FAMILY WHERE IT IS AN INSULT IF YOU DON'T GO BACK FOR SECONDS AT DINNER. WELL, SINCE I HAVE HAD GRIFF I HAD PUT ON WEIGHT, THAT IS SO HARD TO GET OFF. WELL, SEEMS LIKE EVERY DAY SOMEONE FEELS THE NEED TO TELL ME THIS. LIKE I HAVENT NOTICED THAT I'M A PORKER! WELL, I NORMALLY JUST BRUSH IT OFF...YESTERDAY IT GOT TO ME, MAYBE IT WAS THE PMS OR JUST TIRED OF HEARING IT. I WAS FIXING BOUG'S PLATE AND MY UNCLE (BY MARRIAGE) GOES "DAMN GIRL YOU'RE GETTING HUGE, TIME FOR YOU TO LOOSE SOME WEIGHT AND PUT THAT PLATE DOWN" (I SHOULD HAVE SAID WELL, YOU ARE UGLY SO GET OUT OF MY FACE) WELL, I SAT DOWN AND THEN MY NIECE (WE ALWAYS PICK AT EACH OTHER ) GOES MAYBE YOU SHOULD MOW THE GRASS SO YOU CAN GET SOME EXERCISE. WELL, THAT DID IT FOR ME AND RAN OUT CRYING AND BOUG RAN AFTER ME...HE MADE ME FEEL GOOD, HE LET MY FAMILY HAVE IT. HE SAID I WAS BEAUTIFUL AND THAT HE DIDN'T THINK I WAS FAT AND HE WAS TIRED OF PPL MAKING ME FEEL BAD. MY GRANDMA TOLD ME THE OTHER DAY THAT I WOULD BE REALLY PRETTY IF I LOST WEIGHT.
I WOULD NEVER TELL SOMEONE SOMETHING LIKE THAT! YES, I HAVE GAINED A TON OF WEIGHT BUT I AM TRYING TO LOOSE IT AND I HAVE ALWAYS HAD SELF-ESTEEM ISSUES AND YESTERDAY I JUST LOST IT. I HAVE TO SAY THAT MY MOTHER HAS NEVER COMMENTED ON MY WEIGHT! SHE IS VERY SUPPORTIVE AND SHE HEARS THE SAME COMMENTS.
ON THE PLUS SIDE...MY HUSBAND MADE ME FEEL BETTER, TAKING UP FOR ME!
Oh Jamie! That's so sad. I'm sorry that you had to deal with that yesterday. Major props to your hubby for sticking up for you and making you feel better. He seems like a great guy. You ARE beautiful and beauty has NO size what so ever. We were raised to always clean our plates which led to over eating and weight gain. My own mother used to tell me how fat I was and how I dressed like a boy because I didn't feel comfortable in girly clothes at that age. Its hard but I'm so glad you do have people that support you and lift you up when you need it the most. Smile sweetie! You have so much going for you and fuck those that try to bring you down.
ReplyDeleteI would have had an effing coronary. I gained 60+ pounds with my first baby and it took me 3 years to get back into shape. Just in time to get knocked up and start the entire process again.
ReplyDeleteGood for your hubby and screw your Uncle. As long as you feel good who gives a damn what size pants you are wearing?
Mow the lawn, pfft. More like sit on your ass with a fudgesicle and watch your man mow the lawn. At least thats what I would do. And probably will, tonight.
OHH HELL no....I hate when people say things like that..next time say "have you looked in the mirror lately?"...NO ONE IS perfect and comments like that ARENT HELPFUL BUT SOOOOOO damaging!!!!
ReplyDeleteYOu are gorgeous!!!!!! hugs,leslie

ReplyDeletethat is terrible!!! Tell uncle ugly next time to suck it!
I'm sorry girl--I know how u feel with the weigh stuff though I have always struggled having kids made it worse--your hubs is right though u r beautiful!!
I wish u luck with the weigh loss--my friend and I r trying slim fast & walking 3miles a day we will c if it works she has lost 11lbs me---ONE!'grr
Girl I know EXACTLY how you feel!! I come from a large Italian family where we were always told "Mangia!", or eat...then they would turn right around and say how fat I was!! How could I be eating that?! My mom and Aunt, whom I have nicknamed the Anorexic Sisters, are obsessed with losing weight! They have lost over 100 pounds (combined) through weight watchers and they still cannot stop! They agonize over every single calorie, every single gram of fat...UGH! Blow me! I like who I am and my size 14!! You are a beautiful girl and I'm so glad your Hubby is supportive!!
