Re: Weight Issues
I agree with you guys.. thank you for the replies.. if my mom says it, which is very often by the way, it’s understandable because it’s out of motherly love even though she KNOWS I have inherited from HER (she was 85 pounds when she got married). But for all these aunties to CONSTANTLY say it to me, it gets to me after a certain point. Ok so you’re bringing it up once but for them to sit and discuss it like no tomorrow, it’s like wtf is YOUR problem? When I was younger, I kept hearing how noone was going to marry me because I was so skinny. Now that they know they can’t say that to me anymore, it’s taken a whole new turn. I refuse to believe that it is out of ‘love’ or ‘care’ or ‘concern’. Noone who I have barely met twice or thrice briefly is going to develop that much of affection towards me that they will sit and worry about my health. It’s purely out of entertainment and like some of you said, they are just plain mean and enjoy making others miserable.
This one girl (she is 25) who is married to my cousin used to make comments about my weight too. Until I kept hearing her how she was dieting cuz she wanted to be skinny and I said, oh, and you pick on me for not weighing much when you’re aiming for the same thing? It’s sad that people don’t realize that I am not thin out of my own wish. It is something natural that I am born with and nothing I can do will make it better. My doctors have clearly told me that you will start gaining weight once you hit 25, especially once you have kids. My mom was 85 pounds in her younger days and she had 3 kids without any issues.
I need something to hit these aunties back with. The you’re so fat should have done the trick but it would be a lil mean I think. Sajal’s reply about ‘teaching them the trick to become skinny too’ had me
