I recently connected with an old friend, we kept in touch on social media but hadn’t seen each other in around 4 years. In that time I’ve had a baby and went on anti depressants that caused a lot of weight gain. I am overweight right now and feel so uncomfortable. I’m probably around 2-3 stone heavier than she last saw me.
She kind of gestured when I saw her that I gained weight, something like wow you’re curvy, I laughed it off and mentioned the medication I was on. We had a really nice time and she messaged to say her friends wanted to come along to our next meeting which I thought was a bit strange as they are more really her friends we arranged it but then could not make the date we agreed on.
Last night I was out for dinner with a mutual friend she said I am glad you didn’t meet up with them as friend number 1 said everyone needs to see how different I am with weight on.
I feel really sad and like a freak show, i’m now off the medication and I hate seeing myself look like this. I don’t even want to confront my friend, I feel like i’m back at school with the mean girls
