So I am having coffee with a friend who has recenly lost a whole lote of weight. The waitress took a slice of cake to the lady at the next table. Now the lady was fairly large, so my friend says "urgh. No wonder she is so fat if she eats like that". I was floored!! Doesn't she remember that only lsat year she was in the same place as this woman?? And its not just her. I have come across this phenomenon more than once. Its like overweight people take so much crap and criticism and bullying all their lives that the minute they lose the weight they suddenly become these smug, mean people passing judgement like they belong to some exclusive club.
I should've said something but oddly enought I didnt want to hurt her feelings by reminding her that she used to be overweight, thinking that maybe this is what her self esteem needs. But then she starts telling me what I should eat and exercise and I got so mad I had to leave.
Anyway I am sorry I dont mean to generalise but i am so annoyed and normally I am a stress eater who eats her emotions so I thought a rant might keep me away from the cheese!! But I am sure there are understanding ex-chubbies out there... I just need to come across some!
Rant over...
