Getting criticism for healthy gain
Post Body

I went from 98 lb (female, 5'4) to 115, and I feel great! I can also donate blood now, which I've always wanted to do. I'm very excited. I have been struggling with my carb intake lately, but I'm correcting that.

I've been telling myself I'd gain some weight for years. I finally buckled down and made myself exercise a bit and have a proper meal routine, and wow, it made a difference.

My family, however...they don't seem to understand. They say that my face looks too round now and that I need to be worried about becoming obese. They are from a culture in which looks are everything, so I should've expected that, but I'm a little disheartened and starting to wonder if they're right about my face now that it has filled out. Have any of you experienced the same?

My family was quite the opposite, I used to be super skinny for my age and height and my Dad in particular would always tell me how awful I looked and how I needed to change my whole appearance,

I know how you feel it feels awful especially coming from such close people, Iā€™m sure you look great though and wish you the best !
