Brief break

By daddyowl - 25/05/2012 04:32 - Canada - Montreal

Today, after five months of unemployment and hardcore job searching, I got hired for my dream job. I called my mum to tell her all about it, to which she responded, "Great honey! Now all you need to do is lose all that weight." She allowed me all of four minutes of feeling good about myself. FML

So, go and lose the weight! Then, your mom will tell you your face is ugly and your personality is dull and annoying. Just letting you know what's in store. Congrats on the job, eh?

Congratulations on the job, OP! And only lose weight if YOU want to. If you're comfortable with the way you look, then good for you :) That's awesome. If you're unhappy with how you look, then lose the weight. But only for yourself and only if it makes you happy.

Someone had thumbed down this comment, might I ask why? It's a pretty valid comment IMO.

Many people are "comfortable" at weights in excess of six hundred pounds, does that make me an asshole for pointing out that it's killing them? Sure, all things are voluntary, but op's mom pointing out a potential health issue to her daughter doesn't make her a bitch.

31- couldn't agree more. She may have had a poor delivery method, but when you're overweight, someone needs to tell you, and not hold your hand and tell you it's okay. How is it that we have a ton of people out there willing to tell someone smoking is bad for them, but it's taboo to tell someone that being overweight is bad for you?
