I Am Curvy, Not Fat

My aunt got after me for not working out, making excuses and being lazy and eating junk food.
Her words hurt me and I can't stop thinking about them.
I am not fat. Curvy is IN.
My doctor got brutally blunt about my weight and said I have a chose either lose the damn weight or get another doctor that will put up with my misery living with diabetes for the rest of my life.
I am 280lbs. I'm 5'9 so tall people carry weight better. I'm not fat. I haven't spoken my aunt since last week. I'm so angry at her but she don't care.

She wants to see you healthier. What's wrong with that? Do you want to be healthier?

@Gemi30 Well yes but she didn't have to be so hurtful. I can't stop thinking about what she said to me. She's the kind of person that tells it like it is and can be very brutal ao much it will make you cry. She is very unapolgetic about it.

I know the type..well at least you know her intentions..she obviously needs to work on her delivery. Maybe keep your distance you don't deserve to be barked at.

@Gemi30 My aunt really hurt me. I didn't wanna argue with her. There is no point in arguing. She told me, "Don't give me all that. Put your head up and be a grown up. You're not a kid anymore so I won't sugarcoat it. I don't even care. You don't care about your body so why should I care about your feelings?"

@PoppyLoveLala please dont feel worse than you already do. Take small steps for a bigger goal!!

@Gemi30 How can I? She is brutal and harsh. She could have said it in a better way. Losing weight takes time. My doctor called me fat and yelled at me for lying.

I don't know about that doctor..sounds like people just don't care about mental health where you're from
