But You Have Such A Pretty Face...

Don't you just hate when people tell you "But You Have Such A Pretty Face..." its like what is the rest of me ugly??? I don't understand how some people really think that this a helpful thing to say; I have even been told " well you know you were pretty when you were skinny" so are you saying since I have more cushion for the pushin that I am ugly. Dealing with people and their comments can be somewhat nerve racking but I'm slowly understanding why people say these things. Either they are really unhappy with themselves or they just have no common sense and are quite ignorant. Its important to remember that we all have to start somewhere when it comes to weight loss, you can be 150 pounds or 350 pounds but at least your making the effort to lose these pounds. It all comes down to how you feel within you and not really what others might think of you. I am dealing with this daily and I have really great days and some really horrible ones. I just remind myself that I was able to stop myself from a distructive pattern and take control of my own life.
