[quote=Anonymous]When I was about 24, my boyfriend and I went to a work function and I was all dressed up. A professional photog took pics of us, and we did a funny pose where he jumped up into my arms. I sent my mom a few wallet size pics of this pose, thinking she'd get a kick out of them. Instrad, my brother used them as a springboard for a serious conversation about my "morbid obesity". I had gained about 50 pounds during a deep depression and while on SSRI's. The pic was taken as I was emerging from this dark period, feeling better about myself, exercising, taking better care of myself. The dress I wore was my first new dress since college. But my brother's reaction tipped me back into a pit of self-loathing. What an idiot I was to think anyone could look at that pic and see a joyful woman, looking pretty for a special occasion, joyfully bring playful with ana who loved her? All my brother could see was FAT. All I could then see in the pic was FAT. It was the last new dress I bought for nearly a decade. I was fat, all anyone could see was fat, so I told myself I need to wait until I diet and exercise more before I could buy another. I dieted, I exercised, I binged, I hated myself, I gained more weight, I isolated myself. I gained about 59 more pounds. If your brother is fat, he already knows it. Telling him his fat worries you wouk at best, shame you[/quote]
