Luckily, my mom and I struggle with this together, but I still remember some comments my brother made to me when was losing weight. I was a senior in high school, about 5 lbs from goal and looking awesome! Completely flat stomach, bikini worthy, bordering between a 6 and 8. I wasn't a stick because I'm not that kind of shape - more athletic-like. Anyway, I was talking about exercises I wanted to do to tone up my thighs and he said something about keeping away from the ice cream.
And just sort of implying that I have more than 5 lbs to lose. It really hurt my feelings so I know how that comment must have made you feel. But Melinda is right - the girls don't weigh 30 lbs! You worked hard to get that ribbon, don't let a small comment like that take it away from you.
OT - As I'm typing this, I feel like I'm in a jungle. Still bird sitting and he is squawking and singing away. At least Phoebe stopped barking at it all the time.
