I am a caregiver for my aunt who has MS related dementia. She is very much mentally aware but prone to some delusions.
Last night I was doing her laundry and we were talking about my future, I mentioned wanting to get married and she pauses and goes ...
"You're going to be really mad at me for saying this. But if you want to get married, you better keep losing weight."
Instantly devastated. I now that I'll be successful in my weight loss goals, but my body will never be the way I want it to look, I've done some serious damage to it through my massive weight gain. Does this really mean that no man will ever love me?
I've never been one to say 'weight doesn't matter' because I think it does. Physical attraction has to be there in a relationship for it to really work ... but blah. I didn't need this now.
I was already feeling SO bad about myself, and that just made it worse.
