Are You Talking To Me?

Jan 08, 2011

This post was born out of a few things that are going through mind just 14 months after my DS.

People have gotten pretty chatty and visual...and I sure didn't ask for it.

Let me explain...but before I do, this quote will sum up exactly what I mean:

"People don’t treat me different because I look different – they treat me different because I am different." -a priorfatgirl

I was the sort of fat person who rocked the boat. I was not docile and in a corner. I spoke my mind and I was not the person who shied away from confrontation. Now that I have lost weight, people make a point to say, wow, you're really happy, or you really speak your mind, or you're really assertive, as if to ascertain that somehow preserving the pylorus really preserved parts of my personality too? COME ON!

I am not going to ignore the fact that my appearance changed. But, I am also not going to walk around as a poster child for what has happened. I lost weight. No need to mention it (especially if you've seen me 800 times in the past year) STOP IT. Stop announcing "here comes skinny". Did you do that crap when I was fat? No? Then stop it. You suck.  It's not ok to pick apart people's appearance.  Wow, you looked older when you first started losing weight, and now, you look younger...like 12.  Great. You looked old before and now you look even older, and to boot, you're ugly...lol WHO SAYS THAT? I sure don't.  

I am just a little sick of people and their opinions on my body...wow! You're too thin, or wow, you have a lot of energy now that you've lost weight. Or wow, you really do have a glow about you.  I did not become alive when I lost weight. Sure, many areas of my life have improved, that's a given....but two things have NOT occured....

MY HUSBAND DID NOT START LOVING ME (He loves me no more at 126 than he did at 255) PULEASE
I DID NOT LOSE MY HEARING (I can hear when people talk about other fat people and it pisses me off! HELLO?)


This is a rambled, disjointed, semi-rant that I had to just get down on quickly. Maybe I'll revisit it later, or maybe I'll just continue enjoying my life.
