She's very tall and thin, and I asked her once if she was okay. She said she was, and she eats all the baked goods I occasionally bring her, but I don't like that she's so thin. Her legs in her jeans look like a kid's, and once she wore something sleeveless and I had a very negative reaction.

Strangely though, I'm attracted to because her face and hair are pretty. I don't notice her being so thin as much as I used to. I am also jealous because I'm overweight and I wish I were thinner, but not as thin as my T. I realized when looking at fashion magazines that my T looks like a model but I think the models are skin and bones.

It bothers me that I often judge people, including my family, on how they look. I love them but judge them anyway. It bothers me how aware I am of how my T looks. I'm embarrassed that I look the way I do, and have mentioned that to her. Usually I can forget about it because it's what's inside that counts. But I do compare and notice our physical appearances and how different we are.

Rainbow, how you feel about your T's weight totally reminds me of how my mom feels about mine... My mom has struggled with her weight all her life and I am quite skinny. I know she wants to be thin, but not as thin as me (but she really would like to be as thin as me, but she has to keep believing that I'm too thin...)

I'm actually determined not to have the same weight issues she has. She's always telling me that I need to gain weight and complimented me recently by telling me she thought I had 'filled out in the face a bit'. I was upset by that one, because I have gained weight since being in the shelter because I can't cook my own food and I'm getting almost no exercise.

Idk Rainbow, I hope you don't mind me saying it. Your comment just really struck a chord about the relationship between me and my mom, and about more than weight issues... Therapy is funny like that.

The other thing is I always felt 'better' than previous T because I was skinnier (and taller too - I'm taller than my mom as well) yet I loved her curvy body...

You know, it is just soooo much easier having a male T!!
