[quote=Anonymous]I am dreading my Christmas dinner.  I am recently divorced ( no kids) bringing my new boyfriend to meet my family ( parents and 2 sisters). My mother and sisters are gorgeous, and I look like my dad.  I have had weight issues my entire life.  My mom and sister like to make a huge issue out of it, they make jokes, and embarrass me.  I have spoken to them many times nothing changes. For example last year i drove somewhere with my mom and she found some papers from my annual physicial in the car and she learned my weight.  That same day my sisters emailed me diet tips etc.  I am maybe 15 lbs overweight.  When I brought my ex husband over for the first time my mom said something like maybe he can motivate me to be " healthy" code word for "skinny" .  They kept telling me that my ex is so handsome, i need to lose the weight so he does not cheat on me.  At my wedding my older sister said something like she did not think i would marry someone so cute During her toast! my marriage broke up over some complex issues not related to infidelity.  My mom and sisters constantly make comments about what I wear and how certain things will be more flattering for my body type. Nothing I wear ever pleases them I think they would prefer me in a burka. I have to go because I want the new guy to meet my dad.  I am day's favorite, I think he was trying to compensate for their torment and we became very close. He is 20 years older than my mom so he will not be around much longer, that's why I want him to meet my boyfriend. I guess I am just dreading being embarassed in front of the new boyfriend who I like very much. Just tired of being the fat sister who failed at her marriage. Rant over. [/quote]
