True – though I’m trying to teach my kids tact.

I hope that your journey has improved as time has past

The innocent questioning it so much better I agree – so adults should follow their example

Just saying how it is!

Fair point. Thanks for sharing.

I to have suffered from the same thing my thyroid packed it in when I was 20 I am no 46 and I could not budge the weight but had thin arms and legs. I was the same and told people nope just fat . When people seen my wedding photos they could not believe I was so thin and I would just say I wasn’t born fat. Nothing I did dropped any weight even when I worked in a job that was an all day work out nothing. 5 years ago I was in a serve accident and they lost me 4 times on the highway and than I gain more weight from all the medication. I stopped the medication and something happened I never thought would and our doctor can not find out what is happening I have lost well over 50kg I can got to bed wake up and another 2kg gone I am now 47kg and my daughter goes off that I am way to skinny and my Son said it is strange not having a fat Mum as that is all they ever knew. I am still waiting for something to happen and the weight go back on again and there will be nothing I can do about it. All I can say is I just learnt to live with my weight and got on with life instead of wasting time worrying about something that would not work. I have an under active thyroid which I would say you have and every one thought because I am on medication for it I should have been able to loose the weight but no. So I say yep just be your self and say it how it is. Good on you

What a great attitude & outlook you have, not many would be able to handle it like you. I hope for your health mostly that the weight starts to fall off.

Dot worry about them, they have more problem then you do. You can lose your weight they can’t lose their bit*hiness
