TOASTY!!!

Also, I wear my warm Weatherfield jacket under my prettier (but not as warm) wool coat with the flattering waist.

And then I can barely button my pretty wool coat, what with the GGinormous tatas.

I did that, and slipped on a patch of ice, landing on my back and rolling around like a bug before I managed to get myself back up!
Ah, winter! This is why I now live in California.

Maybe you should have your doctor explain all this stuff to her, maybe she’ll be more likely to get it if she hears it from a Health Care Professional. At least you recognize it for the irrationality it is, though, congratulations!

Kate, everyone looks like the Michelen Tire Man in a down coat. Fat has no impact.

I know it would be hard and maybe even impossible, but it might make you feel better to call your mom out? Because if she doesn’t understand how offensive her comments are to someone with Real. Health. Problem. she may very well keep making them, which certainly won’t do a damn bit of good except piss you off more.

Grain of salt ‘course. We’re all here for venting, natch.

I would say “unbelievable,” except it’s so totally believable. And typical of so many moms. Grrr.
