I'm sorry girls, i'm pretty empty at the moment, but Birdlady... Don't pay attention to those who "mock" your bodily figure!

Don't pay attention to no bullshit from none whatsoever! Easier said than done sometimes, but we all can do it if we really want to tell our selves that it's us who know where we stand, and that we're strong, and that we are ok with our own view, but don't give a damn about others's views of oneself... (Complicated sentence, but yeah).

In short... Don't listen to others... and also btw... Family don't mean harm when saying such a thing about weight... They only worry about you, out of their own view of what good health is.. In older times, 1950's and before, extra body fat were viewed as healthy! It's only today the mass hysteria of extra weight and such has exploded...

Besides, not allways the case, but mostly, males don't give a crap about weighy apperance, it's no big deal for males... generally, but not allways as said...

But for females... it's mostly a big issue.. but also, not allways... but generally..

So.. If a male mentioned your weight in "public", he it was no big issue for him, so he couldnt understand it would be a big issue for you either... So i.e.. no harm ment... Some males arenet aware of females's sensitivities to this topic, and some dont even care, because they may think its a dumb and unnececary thing to be bothered about.. so they just talk about it... The think.. "it doesnt bother me, so why should it bother you"... and "dont be a baby, grow up, there are worse things to worry about", thats what males are probably thinking in such a situation...

So... no harm ment.... usually...

Btw... some weight is sexy.... So screw those bad self confidence issues...
