a horrible aunt who used to tell me this everytime she saw me from like age 8...my mum would never believed me when i told her what she would say. horrible witch lol sorry....my boyfriend says i dont need to lose any.
My parents were horrible at it. Since I've been working out they haven't said anything. I think particularly since I am doing something about it and they also have weight to lose.
I feel very fortunate that I don't have anyone in my life who *bugs* me about it - other than myself, that is (I'm getting better, though!) . I know there are people who have been concerned for me, from a health standpoint, but it's never come across in a negative way....I'm grateful for that!
My Granny is rough! I think she lost her manners at age 85 or so. Every time I see her she mentions my weight. At least now she can see I am doing something about it and has cut the rude comments down for a more pleasing "You look a little better now, keep it up"
No one has ever really bugged me about needing to lose weight, ever; which is surprising since I have been fat my whole life.
What bugs me is that there are people that my family has told about my efforts (which I am a very private person and wish that I could disclose my personal information as I feel comfortable). I have one aunt, who at family get togethers looks me up and down to see if I've made progress.
Last week she said I looked smaller, and I said "no, I look the same" which was the truth - I hadn't gained or lost since she had seen me.... I was just irritated that she needed to make a scene out of it.
I just wish people wouldn't comment at all.
My mom has always been the one to comment about my weight. DH, bless his heart, has never said a derogatory word about it, even when I was DOUBLE the size I was when we got married.
Mom's blatant comments have subsided, but her new compliments are a double edged sword....I just wish she wouldn't say anything at all. A compliment that stings doesn't do anything for you....
