their remars i just shrug them off but they really hurt

I know how you feel. My mom is the same way. I have learned that you don't need to care about what other people say. They should not say stuff like that too you. Just don't listen to them. If you like to exercise. You could do 6inches. it helps your stomach get smaller.
