Weight revelation

[shadesong]

So my parents left Saturday morning. And as I hugged my mom goodbye, I realized something:

She's too skinny.

She is not a healthy weight. She looks skeletal and unattractive.

So why should I give credence to her opinions about *my* weight?

I'm feeling Much Better Now. :)

'song, old girl, when it comes to your weight, there are precisely 1.20 opinions that matter. The 1 is yours - and yendi gets 0.2 of an opinion cos you sometimes sit on his lap. All other opinions are not so much irrelevant as wrong. And after recent reading here, I'm halfway to thinking that your mother's opinion is worth THIS much *fingers pressed together*.

When it comes to anything else, there are about three opinions that matter - yours, Adam's, and Elayna's. And then EVERYTHING else is irrelevant.

Me? Opinionated and simplistic.

I adore you, Drew. :)

ACK! It's the Attack of the Cadaver People! Run!

Look, my mom's been telling me I'm "broad across the beam" ever since I was 14. Including the time period I was in a psych ward being treated for anorexia. There are some people who will only see what they want to see, not the intelligent, vibrant, beautiful women both of us really are. And that is their loss, not ours.

Geez, did your psychs know she was calling you fat the entire time they were trying to get you to be realistic??

And, from a totally objective viewpoint...if those are you in your userpics, darlin', you're fucking gorgeous.

I was working as a model at the time, so "realistic" wasn't exactly part of my worldview. I was 5'4" and considered myself grossly overweight at 105 lbs.

*blush* Thank you. The pics are me, but a kind friend made the presentable. :)

Good for you! ^_^

Personally, I'm currently gloating about being the smallest adult in my family, but that still puts me at 5'4", 170 lbs. And I have no real interest in getting below 150, *maybe* 145. I'm a big girl. I'm always going to be a big girl. But I'd rather be curvy, energetic, and healthy, than thin, tired, and weak.

So now who's the crazy one? =p

Might I suggest a look at this entry from my memories under health? It's titled, "What succeeding in Hollywood does to you."

Good! Just remember that there are many cases in which Mommy Does Not Know Best.
