Depressed Models

Interesting vid.

Compare the banal online video of the painful models to the final post-Photoshop output.

Doesn’t look so glam anymore. It shows you the real deal.

My family is obsessed with my weight

2009-03-21T18:39:22Z

Even as a teenager my Mom and Grandparents constantly commented on my weight. “Oh, you gained a few pounds again, better be careful!” I always thought that they were concerned about my well-being, but later I started to realize that they were probably also interested in not having a chubby daughter.

I am an adult now, have two children and when we meet for holidays I still get the occasional comment about my weight whether I gained or lost some. I truly love my family, but I think most of my problems with my own weight are related to their obsession with how I look.

I don’t want to offend them, but I am just so angry every time they say something. Do you have any suggestions for ways to respond to these comments?
