Went to a Christmas market with a friend today and was already feeling really self conscious and down about my weight. I'm usually either in my work uniform or out with DD so I don't pay much attention to my looks or what others think but today in normal people clothes without DD and having a day where I wasn't being a mum, I felt so insecure. I'm a size 16 down from a 20 after recently losing 2 stone.
My friend lit up a cig as we were walking around a corner and a man and woman dressed in smart business type clothes were walking towards and the man sneered (in a posh accent) 'oh look a fatty and a smoker' and the woman replied 'yes, how disgusting' and carried on walking.
I didn't think about it at first then I realised what they had said and told my friend who hadn't heard them and she was furious and said she was surprised I didn't give them a piece of my mind.
It's not what he said that's upset me because I know I am fat and obviously people are going to think it of me but it's the fact he actually said it out loud for me to hear, just to be cruel. As if that's all I am, just a fatty and as if that's an acceptable for an adult to do.
Why are people so bothered with others weight and health? I don't care if someone is fat or skinny, it makes no odds to me so why are some people so obsessed with what other people look like? It makes me so angry
