I'm incredibly angry...

Hi. My name is Martena. I'm obsessed with band, any type. I currently do marching and concert band at my high school. All summer I've been sweating in the hot sun, working on my half time show that I am now performing under the hot Friday Night Lights. Why am I angry? My uncle just called me fat and lazy because I can't run a mile. Please keep a few things in mind, 1) I went to band camp where we ran every morning, maybe not a mile, but I ran 2) He, himself, cannot run a mile and 3) I hate running. Please tell me why I deserved to be called fat and lazy when I have more athletic ability than he does. I admit, I am in no way shape or form athletic or fit. I'm actually incredibly out of shape and overweight by 45-50 lbs, and I know that's not good. I now feel like crap about my life and I know I shouldn't let him get to me, but I think what makes me most angry is that I spent hours and hours and hours on the practice field this summer sweating more and working harder than I ever have, and I'm called fat and lazy. He claims I spent my whole summer playing video games. WHAT? I don't own any video games! I know marching band isn't the most active thing anyone has ever done, I know, but I feel good about what I'm doing because there are people in my band who struggle to finish a 9 minute half-time show. Ugh. I'm not looking for your sympathy, even though I know it sounds as if I am. I was just looking to rant. Please respond if you wish.
