Relatives making me depressed
Lately everytime I speak to my relatives i seem to get upset everytime. They all seem to tell me lose a bit of weight and that im getting fatter everytime they see me. They don't do it in a jokey way either, they are deadly serious when they tell me as they actually give me tips on how to lose weight like don't eat as much carbs. And one thing that has annoyed me and caused me to post this is the fact that one of my cousin was asked would they prefere to be my shape or someone elses who was nearly anorexic thin and was seeing a doctors about it and she said she prefered to be anorexic. This just kept on making me think am I that fat.... I never thought I was that fat as I am about 5ft 4 and about 8 and a half stones and is about a size 8 and sometimes 10. This has seemed to make me not really want to eat anymore and just depressed generally....
I have no idea what I should do or why i am posting this but I just seem to really need to get this off my chest.....

That's really sad. And it hurts most when our family, loved ones say stuff like that to us. they just don't know how deep it cuts. I also did your BMI and you're in the 'normal weight' range. Perhaps tell your family (not all at once) just perhaps one person how much to pisses you off.

Just ignore them, you are quite slim for someone your height.

You're a size 8/10 and they're calling you fat?? I'm that size and I more often get told by older relatives that I'm too thin.

dont let them get to you. i know it's easy for me to say that but you are in no way fat. Just talked to them all, slowly that it's upsetting you and that you don't need to loose weight and remember that you are slim for your height.x
