[quote=Anonymous]Basically, you have to put up some boundaries, OP, and stop letting him (or anyone) define you or overstep. Do you usually feel accepting and loving towards your body? You need to love and accept yourself as you are now. Do whatever you feel works for you to get into the most healthy condition possible, and it sounds like you are, and shut your ears to negative input. My father used to come for visits, take me aside, and tell me, as if it were major news, that I needed to lose weight. I dreaded seeing him because of this, even though I love him very much. Finally one day, I decided to just shut it down, and when he made a remark I calmly said, "No kidding." No defensiveness, no hurt, no reaction, end of conversation. Learn to do this kind of thing, OP. It will always be useful to you. [/quote]
