That comment that my mum made will stay with me for the rest of my life.

Sometime last week, while we were watching tv, she made a sudden comment about my thighs. She said that my thighs are big. I asked her if they are really that bad, she replied nonchalantly that it's due to the fact that i run and exercise. When I pressed on about my weight, she merely replied that I am not fat, just big boned and in the matter of fact tone, she said that the neighbors agreed with her.

Big bones, Big boned.
My mum will never make such a comment if I'm just skin and bones like her. She stands at a mere 37.5kg and she is proud of the fact that she can never put on weight no matter how much she eats.

My mum can be really tactless. I wish she did not make that comment.

It sucks to be the only acceptable weight, buxom person in the family. It made me feel like a freak, an alien.
