If I had a nickel for every time I heard the "pretty face" comment... we'd both be rich! <br /><br />Anyway, kudos to you for recognizing the damage it does to keep hanging on to those feelings and moving on. <br /><br />Maria<br />lasttrainoutoffatland.blogspot.comMariahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18351183370829095982noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7840606548832387602.post-7112135886772327912010-04-28T11:35:47.376-05:002010-04-28T11:35:47.376-05:00Following you because Drazil told us too.

Just found your blog, Draz mentioned it, so now you will have more followers than Madonna!<br /><br />Just last night in bed I was thinking about all the indignities I've suffered because of my weight.

My 15 year old daughter, however, continues to be very overweight. I almost feel guilty for being banded and leaving her "fat" by herself. I know she gets made fun of and I offer to help but what I don't want to be that overbearing mom that ends up having a negative effect on my daughter by trying to help her. Do you have any suggestions? <br />Thanks for the insight.<br />Check out my new blog.<br />beautifulbandster.blogspot.com<br /><br />Marciamallenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14759268861831761231noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7840606548832387602.post-8427261735966380332010-04-28T09:24:31.832-05:002010-04-28T09:24:31.832-05:00I am totally with you as I went through the same t...I am totally with you as I went through the same types of things when I was younger. It especially hurt for it to come from family when I realize now that it was their fault for me being overweight. But its good to get it out and maybe you can move past it now because you are not that girl anymore. You are doing excellent! Keep up the good work! Just imagine what they will have to say when you get to where you want to be then you can bring up what they said to you before.<br /><br />by the way....Draz sent me... :-)<br /><br />luvs ur blog!T.
