#1 Psychotherapist: Stop Being a GOOD GIRL & Become Inconvenient- Say THIS To Stand Up For Yourself! [Video]

I was 19 years old, in college, and my roommate’s mum saw me for the first time in a few months and nonchalantly said “My, Lisa, you’ve gotten fat” Yep, thats right! I had been struggling for yeeeeears with my relationship to food and my body and here I was metaphorically back hand slapped in the face. Twice. And daaaaamn did it sting. So what do you think I did? Nothin. Diddly bloody squat! Thats what I did.

Now, that was 25 years ago and I remember it to this day and I just can’t shake it. I don’t think she meant it maliciously, but how many times do we suck it up and stay quiet when someone we know says or asks something TOTALLY inappropriate?
