And I thought I was the only one. I have two sisters, one who has always been skinny as a rail, and though i do realize this is a problem, it was always hard for me to sympathize when she would complain about how hard it was for her to put weight ON...and another sister who is normal size...well, i was NEVER invited out with them when I was " fat " (what did they think, i was gonna order ALL the food in the entire restaurant??) and i only saw them this past Christmas for the first time since i became smaller than them....and the comments shocked me, i mean, this was my " family " ....and now they wont be ashamed to be seen with me, (their words) and now they " admit it " when someone asks if we are sisters...i never knew before that they denied they were even related to me...because of my size....like you i said nothing, dumbfounded. and after giving it much thought i decided to keep things as they were, as i dont want to admit that i am related to someone as narrow-minded as they, nor be associated with anyone who will judge a whole person, by her size. it tells more about who is doing the saying than what is actually being said, if you understand....so i sit back and say nothing, and i dont miss what i never had, which is sisterhood with these two women, i have forged a sisterhood with other women, fat, thin, normal size, etc., based on our mutual respect, affection, and love for eachother and the community. I am sure, , that anyone who overheard your sister-in-law thinks less of her...than anything she could have said about you, her neighbor, or the girl in her daughters grade...You, on the other hand, showed alot of class by not responding. cathi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
