Bad Thanksgiving!
My heart has sunk. I feel worthless and like a loser. How can words hurt so much.
I went home for what I thought would be a peaceful holiday. Instead I get more words slung at me. Then I need to hear. Culprit. My dad. Says he's doing it to help. But really his words hurt like knives. Mostly about my weight. Not just me. My mom, my sister and I. Were all in the same boat we all get the same lecture. But when we try to explain he's like a brick wall. Then the days after. we all feel defeated. Our self esteem is already low. and sadly....I dont know how many more harsh words I can take. I am already dealing with so much. I try and stay strong. But today he got tears out of me. Told me I was acting like a 2 year old. Wonder how he would feel if someone put him down like that.

Sometimes family just sucks. You obviously know how your dad is so girl you need to build up a tougher skin and remember who is saying these things to and about you and just let it roll off of you. He is probably never going to change so you have to learn to ignore his ignorant remarks. Being really overweight myself I have had some really mean things said to me esp my gmother who told me no man would ever want me as I was just too fat. And my all time favorite..you\'d be so pretty if you just lost all that weight. To hell with all of them, I am who I am and if I choose to lose weight I will if I don\'t too damned bad if they don\'t like it. People are to love you for who you are not what you look like dammit!!
