WTF?

My mother and I went to the bank today and she saw this obese woman, probably 350 lbs. and she said to me: "You're almost as big as her."

I felt hurt. Yes, I am overweight, I am size 14, 5' 1 1/2" tall but I jog 6 days a week and watch what I eat to lose weight. But I am not close to being "that" big and that comment coming from my mother hit a sore spot in my heart.

When she was still living overseas, my Uncle who came here for a visit went back and showed them my pictures and when I called, she said "you look sooo fat and sooo dark."

Wtf? Yes, I am tan and seriously, I think I am pretty. I have expressive eyes, my dad's nose and I'm glad I don't have her attitude.

So I told her that I don't really care because the love of my life adores me, just the way that I am. Yes, he encourages me and supports me in my weightloss goals but he doesn't care whether I am size 14 or size 4. He still thinks I am beautiful and tells me I do take his breath away.

I wish I could tell my mother that yes, I maybe size 14 but when D makes love to me, he does it like I am the hottest goddess in the whole world.

So who cares?
