What we are eating,and whats eating us,Monday...
Good morning Linda & all.
We had a spur of the moment barbecue at the home of Tom's oldest son,the 3 older grand's and assorted step kids. I always feel like a short weed amongst a forest of giant oaks. Tom & his son are 6'4", the grand's are getting close.
You know how much I am bothered when people get in my plate. That happens each time we gather with them. First they question if I ever get hungry, then ask if I eat. I'm NOT an air fern, I EAT!! Tom sticks his nose in the conversation and complains that I don't eat. Some how I manage my temper.
then there was talk of throwing 'somebody' in the pool. Tom wondered aloud, "hmmm, only ONE person is small enough to lift." All eyes turned to me.
I must have had daggers coming out of my eyes at that point. Needless to say, I stayed on dry land.
By the time the food was ready, my appetite was gone. I felt like a bug under a microscope with everyone watching each bite. 5 bites and no more would go down.
Done complaining
Kisses

Annette,I think your feelings are quite valid. Tom probably gets into a different mode around his family,and they may not even know they are discounting you and disrespecting you.
You can vent here anytime,the 2nd part of this forum is what's eating you...smile.
I know you will take care of yourself and not kill Tom,so we're good here.
Hugs...and no gun for you!

WHAT WE FEAR,WE CREATE.
Annette,
I know what you mean about the people getting all up in your plate. That is so common around here with our friends and family. I even go to the point of lying and saying that I ate before we got there so that I can nibble and not get, you better eat more than that. It is very nerve wrecking to say the least.
Indeed,Jeannie!! I also get people who feel free to tell me I have lost too much,I am too thin...
They would never have said I was too fat to my face!
What fasinates me is that after losing so much,people who looked thin, look round to me now,including my doctor,and her nurse!
My beloved step daughter who has a very unsuccessful band,feels she must tease me when I am in a bathing suit,it goes on and on!
Who asked them??

Annette,
You are not a short weed...you are a little marigold, or violet, or sweet little tea rose....not a weed.
I am lucky, no one really watches what I eat, except some people who suspect I've had surgery and those don't matter as I am hardly ever eating around them.

We never touch people so lightly we do not leave a trace.
