I LOVE this thread so glad I found it, agree totally with person who posted about being "too thin" I've been horriblely thin my whole life, when I was 14 they finally diagnosed me as a Juv Insulin Dept Diabetic who knows how long I went undiagnosed. My mother is a type 2 diabetic so we already ate healthy at our home. I thought things would get better for me after they got me on insulin but nope turns out it wasn't just the diabetes that kept my weight so low I also have a metalized that is 5 times too fast for my body. So yea I have heard it all eat more, you Can't be a diabetic you are too thin, No I didn't bring you a diet soda you are too thin I brought you a good natural o' coke to get some weight on you, I KNOW you said you didn't want any dessert to be polite since you are soo thin but I cut you this huge piece cause a dessert once and in while won't hurt you. Yea so finally hit my mid 30s and my condition corrected itself soo happy that I no longer get a bruise for a month when I touch my arm to door. But yea the years and years of hearing all these things plays hell with your frame of mind. So giving out Free Hugs and also have an open ear for anyone needing to vent or just be reminded you all ARE beautiful NO MATTER WHAT anyone said.
Our 17yr (daughter) was born a son also just came out to my hubby and I a couple months ago that she feels that she is a girl in a boy body. Sadly when my blood family was told this we got tons of THAT CAN'T BE right he Never played with dolls, wanted to rock a baby or dress up..ect and we told my family a simple statement that regardless of what you THINK or Feel about this ISN'T open for discussion you can either love her as much and in the same way you loved "him" and treat her as a granddaughter just as you treated him as a grandson or you can have no place in her life your choice.
