“Shaping shorts” for Christmas present

[Polarbearflavour]

So from my mum, I got an eclectic collection of small gifts. One was some shaping shorts which hold and flatten the stomach and slims the hips. Size 14. I’m a 12. Then a nice dress...she made a big deal about it being a 14 and hoping it fits me.

This was after saying all her family have thyroid disease and for my birthday present she’s taking me to a private specialist for all these thyroid blood tests and my cousin had put on weight due to underactive thyroid and now she’s super slim again.

She’s basically saying I’m fat right? My BMI is in the healthy zone, I go to the gym twice a week.

Just return the gifts

brilliant post BishopstonFaffing!

Okay, to be fair, the pants are really comfy and the dress fits and is nice. She then said I have a gorgeous figure I’m quite curvy with big boobs.

Maybe I do have an under active thyroid and this time next year I’ll be a size 8 when I’m on medication! Just annoying how she’s always trying to fix me like I’m a project...(in my teens it was private dermatology to fix my mild acne etc)

Does seem rather snidey of your mum OP. Definitely get her a Specsavers voucher 😂

My mother once bought me 12 weeks of prepaid weight watchers vouchers for Christmas and told me she’d be able to put a nice photo of me up with the others once I’d lost “all that fat”. She has photos of my sister, niece, cousins, etc. but none of me.

I didn’t use them, I’m still a lard arse and she hasn’t got a photo of me to put up even if she wanted. Nasty piece of work.

Specsavers voucher and an anti ageing face cream.
