Sure my stomach got a little bigger and my face is a lil rounder...but its not that noticeable...and it really pissed me off...I didnt tell him tho because if I did I would have started crying...so I held it in and was quiet pretty much the whole time...We ended the conversation on a "good note" but then I started thinking about everything he said and it started eating at me inside so I called Ashley's mom(shes like my 2nd mom lol) and I vented to her and started bawling my eyes out..saying I try and loose weight but its not that easy and keeping track of what I eat isnt easy either but I try...and she said hes an asshole and I should distance myself from him a little bit and when he asks where Ive been just tell him that out last conversation made me angry and uncomfortable

So now I feel horrible about myself =(

It's too bad that your dad is implying that only 'Tall, skinny, and pretty girls deserve jobs'! You've posted lots of pictures of your work. It's really good and that is what salons should be concerned with.

Parents should be the ones to build their child up, not tear them down. I've read many of your posts over the years. I can say that you are a very good, caring person and that your dad should be very happy to have a daughter like you!!

Don't let him get you down. You deserve better than the treatment he is giving you!
