weighty issues..
I must be looking fat today. I visited mum and dad to get my car fixed before work, and whilst I was having coffee, mum said to me “you’re not looking so slim, are you putting weight on?”. I was a little taken aback by her comment. I’ve lost a huge amount of weight and been stuck on the same weight for a few months and unable to dislodge it.
then she picked on my hair style.
“it’s boring, why don’t you get it cut like this? ” and she brings out these hair magazines. I naysaid everything she pointed out. Is there something wrong with me? Why this sudden need to pick on my looks? WTG mum, I feel so unattractive right now.
I wrote a post a few days ago which is marked private, where I expressed how I feel then, and it mirrors how I feel now. I watched biggest loser tonight. I won’t say it inspired me, but my mum’s attitude today did. I haven’t heard comments from her like that for quite some time and it really upset me. And don’t tell me not to take it to heart.
