thankyou so much for all of your post guys, great comfort to hear it.
i talked to mum like u said to
and she said to me that she is not saying it for the hell of it. i do tend to block out 99% of any looks related comment. mum is just worried a bit cos i have gained weight since i have started my first full time job. not a massive amount to me but still i sees her point since i am sitting down for 8 hrs a day typing.
as for my sister she is always putting makeup on me when we go out to family related things. not a big deal cos she does it to all of her friends. (boys and girls)
anyways thankyou once again
