to wish that people would react more honestly?

[RagamuffinAndFidget]

I am quite overweight (currently a size 20-22) and would definitely like to lose some weight. I'm working on it! I'm not particularly ashamed of talking about my weight/the way I look, and I'm the first to admit that I'm too big. I just find it (irrationally?) annoying when I say something like "my arse looks huge in these jeans, it'll probably look better when I've lost eight stone or so" and everyone around me leaps in with "don't be silly, you're not fat, blah blah blah blah". Which I clearly am.. I don't care if they say, "yes it does actually, stop eating so much chocolate" because it's true. I can handle the truth when it comes to this, I don't need protecting or anything! It just seems ridiculous when they're almost trying to convince me that I'm not too big when it's obviously not the case.

I know it's trivial but AIBU to wish that they'd just agree with me that I am a lardybum and I should stop eating so many pies?

Don't be so hard on yourself vageena

I'm sure you have some good qualities?

fat cock

do you have tourettes?

Oh I see

And does fat cock feel the same way about you?

PMSL!

OP, it's just social etiquette.

Has you BF considered a diet?

I mean being a fat cock isn't healthy for him really.

don't be so harsh on yourself vageena, i'm sure you're not that fat.

Comments like "why talk about it?" = effectively banned from talking about it.

Oh sorry I misunderstood

So he keeps chickens?

Has he spoken to the vet about changing their diets?

Obesity amongst cockerels is not the UK's number 1 killer

FACT

Well bully for him. Now what about the OP, hmmm?

im sinny thank you very much

Say 4 Our Fathers and 3 Hail Marys...that ought to cleanse you.

X post obv, that was to the fat cock obsessive.

Hey, that could be the name of the next Heston Blumenthal restaurant.

If the OP wanted to talk about it in a serious way, I'm sure her friends (if kindly and nice) would talk about it. Making little comments like "I'm such a lardarse" are normally not conducive to facilitating meaningful conversation.

There's a difference.

I have problems with my mental health. I can say "oh God I'm such a useless twat" when I'm out with my friends and they'll probably just go "oh no you're not." But if I were to sit down with them and say I'm feeling really down about myself, they would take it seriously.

You're not banned from talking about it just because people don't take you up on a statement which people usually use to fish.

i mean he has a big PENIS

Ohhh why didn't you say so?

oh vageena, don't call yourself a penis, come on now.

So what is your boyfriend going to do about his big penis?

Don't tell me he's going to dump you?

i'm trying to remember who vageena was the other week, it's starting to get tedious. She (or he/it) pops up every couple of weeks.
