Here's a couple interesting tidbits, thougth:
1. I've noticed that the people that see me every day haven't said much unlike people who haven't seen me in a few weeks. I think it's because the people who are with me each day can't see the difference like the others can...
2. My family (my mother and my sisters) didn't comment on it at all until I asked them (and I don't get to see them all that often). NICE. My weight has ALWAYS been obvious when it comes to my family. My sisters are naturally skinny. My mother isn't but is ALWAYS on herself about her weight and, in turn, on ME for mine. She doesn't nag but always throws these diet tips and stuff at me. Drives me crazy. So here I am - found out I was insulin resistant and decided to do Atkins - I've lost 6 pounds and two sizes in clothes - and they couldn't say 'Hey, you look great!' I had to ASK them specifically about it. Kind of upset me a little that they can be 'supportive' of me when it's obvious I'm not losing weight, but now that I am they don't have much input. And I know you can notice because others definitely are! |
Yuck. Thats icky of them. The only thing I can say is ... look on the bright side, atleast they aren't saying negative things about your diet, right? ( I hope!) I have 3 older sisters. I am definetly the fattest. lol None of them have ever been as heavy as I am, by far. The thing that sucks... I am not, and have never been in competition with them (like they do with each other). Why is that bad? I'm glad you asked.
I am in such a fat sister category that they can openly say things like, " You are such a pretty girl; you are too young to be so heavy", "We worry about your health".
Translation.... we are overweight ... but you are so fat we feel bad for you.
I have definetely let it get way too far out of control. I am just over it. I used to wonder if a guy was looking at me because he is checking me out.. now I wonder if he is looking at me because he thinks I am grossly and unattractively fat. It so sucks.
