I’m a little upset right now and I turn to food usually to cope but trying not to! I don’t want to go into too many details but I had a meeting today with a very senior manager and he took me into an office whilst he collected something. As we walked in a group of ladies started giggling as we walked in and one stopped talking and said very rudely “who are you?” I’m already really self-conscious infront of this manager and they made me feel like shit, it was obvious I walked in with the manager and was with him whilst he unlocked the cabinet to get something. I just felt it was no need for that much attitude. I stumbled on my words and said “I’m xxxxx”, they looked at me really weirdly and just stared. I said “it’s a lovely office” to fill the awkward silence and the women (3 of them) looked at each other and burst out laughing. I felt so embarrassed. Senior manager is little in his own world so didn’t even probably notice the conversation but in my head I feel he’s thinking I’m really awkward. I couldn’t care less what those women think of me.

I keep replaying the scenerio in my head. Don’t know what I should have said but it’s too late.

@SlabsBabs thank you! If you were the manager what would you think of me? I feel
so upset. I’m so self conscious right now because of my weight and these women were like nasty mean girls! So much attitude.

It says more about them than it does of you. Are they 13?
