[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]1) your bf knows your body size already, knows its assets, knows its limitations, and chooses you.

2) nothing your asshole mother and harpy sisters will say will change his impression of your body.  He is attracted to you physically or he would not be with you.

3) it's so, so normal to have a fucked up family.  The good news is, yours is not entirely toxic.  You have a great dad.

4) this is a chance for you to get closer to your bf, to be a team of allies against the Axis of Assholery in your family.  Tell him that your mom and sisters have abused and harassed you for years and thy you dread spending time with them. Tell him the worst things they've said to you over the years ahead of time.

5) their abuse will make them look bad, not you.  It's nothing to be ashamed of.  If you rise above it, you make yourself look stronger.  He can be impressed by your resilience.  But if you cower, it's your reaction that will look pathetic or sad....it may make him pity rather than admire you.  You can solicit his empathy without pity.

[b]I love the idea above about you and bf doing rimming out-loud commentary on the toxic shit they say.  You could play Axis of Asshole Bingo or something.  Or just comment out loud, "hey, you said they'd say that!" "Bingo!" "Seriously, I did not believe you that they'd actually say that, and they did!"  In front of them.  It would be epic.[/b][/quote]

Love this!  Especially the bolded!
