Oh man, Q. I know you've had issues with your uncle. I'm so sorry.

Yeah. I think once he's calmed down I'll try to talk to him. True I don't know what it's like for my sight to go all at once but I do understand the fear and panic.

And of course I say I watch tv, it's just an expression. I also "read" books and "look" at clothes in the mall. Just because I'm blind I don't remove sight related verbs from my vocabulary. That's just awkward.

Ah ok, thanks for clearing that up!!

Also makes every bit of sense to continue using sight related verbs

Well, you've been under average weight most of your life, if I understand it, BQ. My mom struggles with fat acceptance, too. She's gained some weight since she hit menopause and she thinks she's fat now when really she's slimmer than any real women I know of that are even 10 or 20 years younger than her. It's hard to change something deeply ingrained on your mind, but if you work on it, you can get there, I think, unless you have body dysmorphia.
