At that moment I wanted to crawl in a hole and die! I weigh way MORE than 200lbs. If she thought this lady in the story was "totally morbidly obese", what does she think of ME????!!
First, I am so sorry you were in that uncomfortable situation! Some people really need to learn to think before they speak- especially if the only things they have to say are rude and judgemental!

:::raises hand::: ME! On a daily basis. I'm a gym manager and personal trainer who could stand to lose 20-30 pounds (or at the very least, tone up a
lot!!) At least once a day I'll catch what I assume is a critical glance from someone. I try to convince myself that they have better things to think about than the way my jeans are fitting that day- but it's hard sometimes.
Especially with my teeny-tiny coworker. The day we met we were brainstorming places to distribute flyers, and I mentioned I would take some to Chili's with me that night. Her response "
good idea. Fat people eat at restaurants"
It made me want to either A) change my date night plans with Alex or B) immediately justify my eating habits by talking about their healthier menu options. I ended up just saying nothing.
