I'm sorry, what?
"I only remember you fat"....can you hear that? Gosh it stings! A staff member I used to work with has transferred to my office and she said to me today she has to keep doing a double take because she only remembers the 'fat' me...
Hang on! She only remembers the PREGNANT me!! Did I really just look fat!?
It is like a slap across my face. I think the shock of the comment made my jaw drop a little.
I have lost ten kilos. Three on the 12wbt, seven prior to it's commencement. So I have lost weight...but goodness. I just didn't consider myself fat.
That word is so sharp. FAT.
Maybe I needed to hear it? It wasn't said with any malice.
It was said in a sincere matter of factness that makes it worse.
But maybe I did need to hear it.
Because what is most important about it? It was said in a past tense. I can only remember you being fat....you're not fat NOW. You've made changes. They're noticeable. The effort is paying off. But you were fat.
Are you going to be fat again?
