Some people make my blood boil! Gah! I need a rant.
Two "family members" are in their mid to late 50's and are overweight or undertall. i am 38 and over tall and overweight.
One of them is usually really lovely and doesn't give two figs what anyone thinks of her or anyone else.
The other is a Hyacinth Bouquet.
I dont see them much but saw them both at a funeral last week. Neither knew I had been following SW as I don't shout it from the rooftops.
Hyacinth has often made comments about my weight in the past and was so offensive just before Christmas last year that there was an audible gasp from the collective family at her "drunken" comment. The comment was not completely drunken as she managed to text me ten mins later to tell me she was joking and to enjoy my meal out. i told her that it would now be a lettuce leaf.
Anyway .... I have lost 4 stone since Christmas and whilst my physical size has not changed alot my overall appearance has, I'm 5 foot 9 with curves, i'm now a large 16 rather than a small 20 that looked 7 montsh pregnant. I dont want to be a size 10 but i have gone from over 18 stone to a little over 14. i think thats pretty good going.
Nice "rfamily member" immediately told me i looked amazingly different and i should have done it years ago, however in the next breath she told me not to lose any more weight because i would look too thin and my hubby doesn't like skinny women. Hyacinth then chirps up that I could lose twice as much weight and never be skinny. i waited for the punchline.... it didn't come but the punch to her face almost did.
Confidence plummet.
So that begs the question ... If you have nothing nice to say why not button it????
My weight loss is nothing to do with anyone but me and how i feel about it.
Sorry.
Rant over.
