Guest guest Posted December 10, 2000 Report Share Posted December 10, 2000 Hi ! I don't think you are being too sensitive. Your feelings are real and shouldn't be minimized by those who haven't an idea of how it feels to be belittled like that. Get aquainted with the movie, " Tank Girl. " Lori Petty stars as a humorous and gorgeous rebel woman in a post-apocalyptic world. (Based on the comic book of the same name.) She's pretty, witty, doesn't take $#%@ off anyone, and drives a big tank! Maybe you can transform into another kind of, " Tank Girl. " *grin* Take a negative and claim it as your positive! My best!!!

It does make you wonder after being told that for years...

Guest guest Posted December 10, 2000 Report Share Posted December 10, 2000 Ms. Jenn, WOW 28 pounds in a month, I wanna be you by the end of Feb. That Insurance company better approve me or I will remove my contacts and drive thru their parking lot at quitting time!!!! Hey maybe I can get some eye surgery out of it as well!!! Thanks for the support!!! My brother is a creep anyway!! I am part of a family where there is not much fat. They haven't got a clue about what it feels like. I wonder sometimes how I grew up in this family, maybe it's like the ugly duckling story and I will grow out of this fat and emerge some kinda " Babe " !! You think?... Well, at least thinner... I really am emotionally healthy about this in a freakish way. You know..., Mental Health Counselor heal thyself!!! I have a hard time trying to come to terms with my size. Kind of like a large dog puppy who grows big and still acts like they are small. I keep getting stuck on those darn rides at the amusement parks and trying to do things I am too big now to do. I have learned not to chew on the furniture and I have been housetrained. Unfortunately, I think I still can sit in my husband's lap. Ouch!!!! Thats probably why I am in Mental Health or at least was before I was fired by a supervisor who did not want me to finish my degree. Seriously, I do feel that it is important to reach out to others who are in pain and give them unconditional positive regard. That's what I want and my Dad always told me to live by the golden rule. If we can't accept our MGB peer's feelings of rejection and isolation how can we accept our own? I will have to catch that movie sometime. Imagine that, I am famous!!! The only problem is that I am not very assertive!! I also drive a mini-van (now that I think about it, I do kinda drive like I think I am in a tank!!). people do seem to get out of my path. Oh well, I need to get off this soap box, before I fall off!! Thanks again, Hugs and my Prayers :-) On Mon, 11 Dec 2000 06:05:01 " Ms Jenn " writes: > Hi ! > > I don't think you are being too sensitive.

Guest guest Posted December 11, 2000 Report Share Posted December 11, 2000 , I agree, I don't think you're being too sensitive. As a mother, I am surprised by your mom thinking that it's okay for your brother to do this. Someday, your brother will realize how hurtful he was by calling you that. All I know to say is that your Mom must not have a weight problem and she doesn't even appear to understand. Maybe you should talk with her about it. Bottom line... Even IF you were being sensitive, if it hurts you, your brother should be told to quit. That's my 2 cents worth.

Guest guest Posted December 11, 2000 Report Share Posted December 11, 2000 , I just posted, and after reading another post from you realized your brother isn't a child, but a married " man. " He only acts like a child. I think I'd just stay away from him. He sounds like he has some serious problems anyway... trying to kill you as a child. Wow, that's scary.
