Ugly fat jokes

Tweet

I used to receive or be an object of fat jokes while I was still growing up. My parents even did some jokes about my being fat. I used to feel angry when people would make a joke out of me. But what really hurt me was the jokes made by my father. Up until now, I still don't what he must be thinking every time he makes a joke out of my being overweight. I have come actually to the point that I don't care what others say because I have come to accept myself. However, the jokes that my father still makes even up to now really do hurt me to the raw. My father has always been supportive and he is wonderful with his grandchildren but there are times that he makes a joke about my weight and how I look like that it really hurt me though I don't really show it and acts as if I am not bothered by his remarks or jokes. One time I told him that he should not make such remarks and he told me that it was just nothing and it's just a joke and if I can't take it, then I should loose some weight. Though he very rarely say jokes along that line, but I can't help but remember it every time I see my 5-year old niece being insecure already with her weight. I keep telling her that she is beautiful but she still felt insecure because she is being told that she is fat, when in fact she is not.
