Ok sorry to vent here..but I figured everyone here would know where I am coming from. Why do people feel the need to let you know you are fat? Do they think we forget we are fat? My family are all mostly thin or barely overweight. And EVERYTIME I am around them they make a comment or say something about my weight. I finally got to the point where I told them to stop it and asked them do they think I forget that I am 300 pounds!? My mom keeps saying I should get WL surgery or I am going to die. Nice huh? Personally I do not want to get weight loss surgery because I know I have not done everything I can to lose this weight. And I know I can't let cruel comments get to me...but I guess its hard when your family is more against you than anyone else. I am really starting to think though that any one who is not fat has this mind set that they can come up to you and just say hey you need to lose weight. It just pisses me off because I wouldn't walk up to someone and say hey you have a big nose...go get a nose job. lol And let me say..I know not everyone is like this. It just seems like there are a lot of people that do this. It just really bothers me!
Also, I really am starting to see a pattern here. I am already fighting depression from being this overweight...and then comments or rude stares just add to the depression. So then I feel stuck in a cycle of self pity...
I stay depressed-don't do anything about it-let the comments/problems make me more depressed and then I just stay fat and depressed!
How have you handled rude comments about weight? And how do you not let all the negative stuff depress you more and keep you stuck in the same ole cycle?
Sorry for rambling on....I just feel frustrated and stuck.....
