Recently visited the in laws (social distanced in their garden).
Chatting about different things and covid and how anxious it makes me - she knows I suffer from major anxiety about health and different things.
She proceeded to tell me that that it seems a lot of the younger people who have sadly died of covid were overweight and told me I should watch my weight. I know that weight has been added as a risk factor for serious complications but aibu to think this just rude and unthoughtful when she knows how anxious I am?!
I’m the first to admit I’m overweight. I’m not in denial. But I wouldn’t say I’m massively overweight. I’m quite tall and a curvy size 18. Losing weight will make me healthier of course but I’m generally healthy, I’m very rarely poorly, no health issues, I eat too much but I do exercise! Although I’ve eaten like a pig some days during lockdown I’ve not put on a pound because I’ve been so active!
I already knew that weight was added a risk factor I didn’t really need her reminding me which made made feel very anxious about it all.
She’s not exactly skinny herself. I would say she’s the same size around but quite a bit shorter than me so probably weighs a few stone less!
It’s made me over anxious that if I was to catch is become seriously ill.
Not sure what the point of this post is but I just feel so low and anxious!
