I have just started studying full-time. I was sitting eating lunch with a group of the women I have just met, and they are great! All ages between about 20 and 40, and I am the oldest, turning 47 this year. I stick to a fairly strict Keto diet, which my neurologist put me into for my awful migraines. It helps, so I’ve stuck with it now for about 18 months. (Also have coeliac disease, so it suits...) I started putting my lunch away, and one of the ladies said “Is that all you’re having?” I told her that I was full and that I would have more if I was hungry later. She said “You skinny women make me sick! You’re full and you eat less than a bird, and look at me stuffing my face!” I must have looked stunned, and she asked if she had offended me. I told her that nobody had called me skinny before. The whole table went quiet, and so I had to explain that I had lost 60 kilos from my body, but not my brain. It seriously hasn’t caught up with me. I am worried that I am expecting that I am not going to maintain this way of life and slip up.

60kg. SIXTY kilos, you are awesome. Ignore the comment. Some people like to project their own insecurities onto others.

She was lovely.... I just realised I am still enormous in my mind, or expect to become so again.
