I also worry because there is some illness in my family, and I've always worked so hard to not be "like them". It's silly, but it's just another hurdle that I'm sure I'll eventually get over. I've spent the last few years getting myself physically well, maybe 08 is the year I get my mind in shape!
Hi Nono, And welcome to our part of the computer world! And Happy new year!
I am not sure how old you are? But through the years I have learned to tune out my family. I am the shortest of a very tall family. I am 5'3 and my sister in 6'0 as well a 6'4 brother. I think my 10 year old niece is the same me right now! So because of my compactness I was put down for years. My dad called me fat a*s almost my whole teenage life. Which I took diet pills and had medicale problems from them.
Now I am happy with my body! My husband loves my body and that is really all that matters! Your family is not the ruler of your world, you make your own world.
It's funny how much of what they said had really bugged me for a long time but now it doesn't seem to matter! Good luck!
