I even said the same thing to my hubby. It's got to be the low rise trend, there's nothing there to make you suck it in.

Been there sweetie....MANY TIMES!! Even my trainer said when we first started working together... "You've got a nice waist, we just have to find it!"  Can you imagine?!?!?!? But with her it is tough love...
But with your Uncle..that was not cool...that is when you say, "Yeah, thanks for your encouragement, that means a lot to me" or "You have the right to remain silent...USE IT!" 
Chin up sweetie... some people just don't have a clue what "words" can do.

THANK YOU ALL!!! your all are so wonderfull!!!!
I would love to know what in are minds makes us think that skinny is the only accetable way to be!!! It is just so frustrating that I constanly feel like I am being judged by my weight! I have a wonderfull husband and daughter, a nice home, family, and friends, BUT because I am overweight something must be WRONG with me???? WHATEVER!!!???!!!
THEN the cherry on top was today at the Fair!! I ran into a friend I haven't seen in about two months, are kids were in art class together. She comes walking up to me and says OMYGOD how far along are you!   
I said I not pregnant just bloated, But thanks for being so excited!  (NEVER assume someone is PG!!) Not only did it hurt because of the weight thing but because we have been trying for so dang long! I ate some pot roast last night and I WAS BLOATED this morning! After we came home I went potty and when I came out Rich was like no one is going to think your PG now! I smaked him the back of the head (don't worry he is used to itLOL)
So thanks for all the kind words I just feel like all the working out is for nothing! I was so proud that I had lost 3pounds,5 1/2 inches, 3% of my body fat! I gusse not enough for anyone to notice but do they have to comment!! LOL
HUGS!!!!

People just don't think do they! I have heard so many people use that expression toward other people. In fact I just heard a coworker say it about another one just today! It is hurtful. What do they think you are gonna do wave a magic wand and say poof there, I'm prettier now I lost 25lbs. It's not that easy.
On the opposite end, I've been hurt by many, many people that say she must be anorexic cause she's so thin. Or they'd say "do you not eat"? "OMG you are sooooooo thin." Or "your probably so cold cause you have no meat on your bones" (that's a very common one). So see, you can be heavy or you can be thin and people think they have the right to just say whatever they want not thinking of the consequences.
I feel for ya Heather. Like everyone else said, doesn't matter what you look like on the outside, it's what inside that counts!!!!! AND we all know you are beautiful!!

OMG I can't believe he said that! You are a beautiful person both inside and out. Don't let anyone tell you different. People just have no idea what the hell comes out of there mouths sometimes. Most people that say those things have there own insecurities to deal with and they take it out on other people. You hang in there sweetie and know that you are a beautiful person!!!!! Love ya!

I'd cut him out of my life if he were my uncle and he said that to me. He has no right.
Heather, don't listen to him. Don't be affected by him. He's motivated by his own pathetic pathology. Continue being as you are. Exist to please yourself, not your uncle. If that involves weightloss for personal reasons--all the power to you. However, it's none of your uncle's business.
Seriously--I'd be throwing something in his face--something really messy and gooey. Hmmm...I'd toss my dessert in his face.
Men! Definitely from Mars, sometimes.
Kate.

Oh, Heather! I've seen your photo, you're pretty anyway. If that was me, I would have been all "yeah, I know. I feel so sorry for you that you can't lose ugly like you can weight!"
Well, I'd have thought it but I probably wouldn't have said it.
It's ridiculous how much pressure there is on women, both direct pressure (ie, your uncle) and indirect pressure (Jessica Simpson in her tiny Dukes of Hazzard shorts). At 55kg/162cm (that's 121 pounds) I feel absolutely enormous, and I know it's silly, that I'm a healthy weight.... but somehow I can't forget the Woman's Weekly cover that had Britney Spears packin' on the pounds... she was a monster at 58kg (cough, apparently). I was so born 50 years too late, I'd have been great in the 40s where women were real women with wobbly bits.
Don't you let anyone convince you you're anything less than delectable, Heather.
