Leave my kids alone!

Sometimes I just wish that the perfect people in the world would keep their comments to themselves. I'm so sorry we can't all be as perfect as them!

A friend of mine commented today on how my oldest son had gotten so fat. When he has actualy lost weight a lot of weight. But none of our kids will probably ever have the skin and bones look. They have a bigger body build, like their dad. And I'm not just saying that they are not fatm, just big boned or anything. Just that body type where with all the diet and exercise in the world one still stays a little chunky. Although part of my kids problem is the lack of exercise. They just don't want to do much. But if I'm going out for a walk I make them go with me, knowing they need it also.

But anyway this friend of mine just seems to think she is perfect, her husband always comes off the same way. They seem to think all the people around them are fat or some other thing wrong with them, but everything about them is just perfect. Yes I did get a little pissed when she said that. She's said it about my kids many times, she has the skin and bone looking kids. But I love my kids even though they aren't skinny and if she comes aorund saying anything to them about it, she will hear from me and either shut up or she can leave.

I had family members, not my parents, but other who insisted on telling me that I was overweight in different ways. Did it help? Apparently not, just hurt. Made me eat usually to feel good for the time being, because I felt I wasn't good enough for them.
