My parents could drive you to drink

OK i know most people could say that about there parents but mine mom has been taking the cake as of late. We took my boyfriend's mom (we'll call her Paws for now)with us the last time we had a girls day out and went shopping like we normally do and during the course of the day my mom informed Paws that it wasn't as much fun going clothes shopping for me any more because i was fat now. OK background info I have always been the chunkier one in my class I may not have been fat fat but i was one of the bigger kids. Now a days i don't look at my self as fat fat but more well built. people have tried to guess my weight before and normally come up twenty to forty pounds under. I'm on the taller side with a larger frame and even if i did lose the thirty pounds that i would like to I know that I would never fit back into the size three that my mom says i wore in middle school when I'm pretty sure that at the same time she's thinking of i wore a size twelve dress (something doesn't add up here) My mom on the other hand is about four inches shorter than i am and weights about twenty pounds more than i do so shes not the skinny thing either. I just really bugs me that she is always comparing me to the girls that are naturally stick thin and I will never be that way because of my metabolism which at times is so slow that i think that i am gain weight for food i don't eat. however I am not giving up because now that i have a place of my own I have much more control about what i eat and I'm trying to only eat when I'm hungry I am able to get out on walks more often and now that i have a MP3 player they tend to turn into a three to five mile walk on average so I'm not giving up hope. thanks for reading my little rant and i will try to post again soon for anyone who actually reads this. BTW did i mention that my boyfriend has never commented on my weight and loves me just the way that I am which is nice to know even if if is two inches taller than me and weights sixty pounds less than me (he is a fricken beanpole) but i love him so much. thanks again for reading.

  1. Can I help it that I have a high metabolism due to genetics?

  2. Jezzi, sweetheart, I apologize for missing that part of your mother's comment. Mom or not, I couldn't have let something that unkind and undeserved go unchallenged. You are NOT fat and we love you just the way you are. And the fact that Beanpole has never commented on your weight likely means he prefers cuddly to sharp angles. Besides, he's smart enough to know that what's inside is more important than what's outside...but I'm pretty sure he likes your outside too. ;-) Okay?
