Thank you! I'm really fine. Everyone's got their issues.

Good on you. Every kid comes to an acute awareness of how they look and 'measure up' in attractiveness, weight & intelligence compared to others in their own time, and really far sooner than seems fair. I think a lot of parents, and grandparents etc., don't realize how loud and far their voices travel when criticism…

This woman sounds exactly like my father was when I was seven. He remained that way until I was hospitalized as an 80lb anorexic when I was sixteen. He's never mentioned my weight since, but comments negatively on every other overweight person in the entire world.
