So cool to know I'm not alone in this. There are some days the joking and comments can roll off my back, and there are other days where it feels like a knife in the heart.

My family was here for the holiday, and one of the days I had to move slowly because I was pushing a little too hard. I told them I wasn't having that great of a day. My stepmom said, "you're looking so good, you'd hardly know". That hurt. I knew she meant it as a compliment and supposed encouragement, so I didn't call her out on it. My dad did roll his eyes for me though.
