Why does family get togethers have to be soooo hard? Every holiday we get together I have had to endure my sister in law and her family putting me down for my weight and what I eat. She is pencil thin and has always had the audacity to try to tell me what I should and should not be eating like she has a clue, she eats whatever she wants. Well yesterday, I didn't eat any bread and only a wing out of the fried chicken and not ever all of it. Then I ate some veggies and turkey and DID NOT finish all on my plate, I drank nothing but water, yet something was still said to me about my size. Okay it wasn't her this time but her insepid mother. My brother was teaching me to drive my nephew's dirt bike, something I have been wanting to learn but scared to do. She told me I was too fat to be on it, HELLO my youngest brother weighs just as much as I do but she didn't say nothing to him about riding it. For christ sakes do you have to be rude when you are joining MY FAMILY for a holiday?? Then she went on to say didn't I realize how much weight I need to lose and how much better I would feel if I did?? NAWWWW I don't realize that at all...I don't have a clue how fat I am or how disgusting I look?? I just battle with the feelings of disgust everday but I ain't trying to do a thing about it. FOR GOD"S SAKE, was it not a good thing that I was out playing instead of huffing and puffing on a freaking inhaler the whole day, and that I was laughing and joking and trying to do things versuses sitting in a freaking corner by myself cuz I didn't feel like joining in??? I mean usually the kids play ball and my hubby and I get out there with them and play but this year it was the dirtbikes so we all took turns riding and my brother was teaching me and my daughter how to drive them but yet still I ain't trying to do anything about my weight like I am just sitting around stuffing my face 24/7 and not getting active?? I HATE Family get togethers, I really do. I am about to the point of telling my parents I will come see them but don't care about getting together with the rest of the family.

BUT on the other side of the issue it has ticked me off bad enough that I want to lose a significant amount of weight between now and the 4th of July. I just have to make myself do it the right way. SO I got up and worked out then come home and eat bfast for a change. Now I am determine to eat good the rest of the day and drink my water. SO here I go again trying hard for a change but still not willing to tell my family I am on a "diet" for fear of failing yet again and because I don't want them ogling every bite of food I put in my mouth. That drives me up the wall by the way. Sorry this got so long but I had to blow off some of the steam. Good for me though I fought the desire to chunk it all and say I can't do it this time around.

I completely understand. It's like, there's nothing worse than cutting a big slab of cake and a scoop of ice cream...sitting down at the table at a family party...getting all excited to taste the fabulous cake and ice cream and then:

*cue the Psycho music*

AUNT JO (spoken with pure bewilderment): "You aren't going to EAT that?"

ME (scrunching eye brows & looking bewildered): "No aunt Jo. I'm going to give myself a facial."

Then aunt Jo walks away totally embarrased.

What is it with some people? Especially family members?

Oh but if I could have gotten away with it....LOL I don't think attacking an almost 90 yr old woman would have went over to well for my image no matter what she said or did...LMAO
My mommy did come to my defense though so that was great. And yes I still call her mommy even though I am a 30 yr old mom of 3...ROTFLMAO!!! I am just an unusual, NUTTY person!! Ask my friends, that is what makes them stick around is the laughs I can give when i am at my craziest...LOL

Angela, I'm pretty new to this board but I have been reading all the posts in this thread. I can't believe how far some people can shove their foot into their mouths! I have to say that you seem really strong and I think you're handling everything SO well! I try to think of rude people like that a big puffs of hot air that evaporate into nothing that really matters. You're gonna do great girl!


P.S. I noticed you said something about being southern? What state are you from? I'm a born and raised Texan.
