I’m super health conscious and into biohacking so when a family member has medical issues, I always try to help.
When I heard my grandma was having medical issue’s like high blood pressure, bad cholesterol etc. I wanted to give her advice on how to address the root of the issue. She is pretty overweight, borderline obese, so for some fucking reason, during dinner I just ask her how much she weighs and how tall she was so I could check her bmi.
Infront of my mother, sister, cousin and auntie (who is from my dads side so not related to her), I say something along the lines of “that’s really bad, you are borderline obese”. After realising how horrible that came out, I tried to reconcile her by saying she didn’t look fat (which she doesn’t really), and that I could help her loose weight. When I looked at her, it looked like she was about to cry. I feel so horrible, why am I this fucking retarded. Is there any way I can spin this or make her feel less bad? She probably thinks I had malicious intent due to the way it came out, but the weight she gave me legitimately worried me and I am worried for her health.
For more context, this was in a private setting. She only met my auntie once, years ago so they aren’t that familiar with each other.
