Ugh, yeah, that stuff is terrible. I get the "you'd be beautiful if you lost weight" thing from family, and it only reduces my affection for that person. My "real" family - my brother-out-law and my best friend (who is his fiancee), who are not biologically related to me but are, in fact, the ones who treat me like family should - tell me I'm beautiful now.

I'd rather believe them.
