I was skinny in the days of Marilyn Monroe, and Jane Russell. My charming brother said, "When you were thin it wasn't in - now that you're stout it's out".<BR/><BR/>In the late 60's I began birth control pills and when I got up to 120lbs. I was elated. Then a couple of years later I was with my daughter in a department store and saw our pictures on TV, but I didn't recognize the fat lady with her. <BR/><BR/>Oh well, back to the drawing board.<BR/><BR/>Dee's friend, BonnieUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18286799860475064314noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1590052514394403336.post-78597807526832109572009-01-10T07:38:00.000-07:002009-01-10T07:38:00.000-07:00I've always had this sort of fantasy that when som...I've always had this sort of fantasy that when someone said something to me like that, a rude question or comment, that I'd be brave enough to say: Oh, is it rude question/comment that are none of my business day? In that case, I've always been curious. How long have you been that fat/ugly/bald/stupid? <BR/><BR/>But in reality I'd never do it. Holding back like you do is better.

She looks just like some 50s movies star!<BR/><BR/>And Jaci, thanks for the kind words about the Jan 5 anniversary on the other post. You know, we really MUST get together one of these days! Maybe sometime this spring we can meet halfway and if not this spring, lets do it this summer for sure!Jodihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00100400622483378937noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1590052514394403336.post-87847440758691202552009-01-08T21:03:00.000-07:002009-01-08T21:03:00.000-07:00I get that same line.

It was really hard when I was raising Arwen - she is built like Don's side of the family which is much heavier and I never wanted her to think she was abnormal because her mom is so skinny and she wasn't. People said the rudest things to me because she was such an adorable little chunk of a girl and I'm so skinny. Dumb people.jacihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10866590026586669990noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1590052514394403336.post-9217532790011190212009-01-08T13:58:00.000-07:002009-01-08T13:58:00.000-07:00mom... good post!

And I once had a girl corner in the bathroom at a bar and DEMAND that I admit I had an eating disorder. She wanted to get me help. ha! Of course, I don't have that problem any more! <BR/><BR/>But like you, it helped me to be compassionate and always remember to be patient and kind because every person on this planet is struggling with something, be it childhood abuse, weight issues, sexualty, skin color, whatever. That's what makes us human. Even (and probably especially) a*holes. Although I still struggle with that one occassionally... hee<BR/><BR/>GREAT post sis. I love you!!

The husband of my best friend called me Mrs. Thermometer (and he was overweight ). I always felt the same way as you stated, I would NEVER in the world have called him a name that indicated his size. I, too, don't know how those people can feel that such statements are ok. <BR/>You are beautiful ! Take pride in that and show it with attitude !<BR/>love you !Deehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03600056896841452538noreply@blogger.com
