Hi everyone
hope everyone's doing ok.
I've been slowly losing weight over the last few months after putting on weight in lockdown and also recovering from a back operation. I've lost 20lbs going from a size 18 to a 14/16.
Still got more to lost to get to my ideal size 12 which I was before.
Anyway feeling confident today whilst I was in Primark I thought I'd try on a pair of leather look leggings.
Went into the changing rooms to try them on and came out of the cubicle to look in the 'big' mirror. I felt good and felt proud of where I'd got to.
Anyway as I go back into the cubicle I hear the 2 young Primark girls in the changing rooms say "did you see that? No no no. Dress for the figure you have not the one you want!" and laughing. I was the only person there so it was about me.
I literally wanted the ground to open up and swallow me. My confidence burst like a balloon. I actually sat in there and cried until I plucked up the courage to run out and back to my car.
I'm 32 and felt like a kid in the playground.
I know it's ridiculous but this has really upset me and really dented the small amount of confidence I've worked so hard to build up. Makes me feel like what's the point and just giving up.
Any tips on ignoring the negative comments and carrying on? I feel deflated after today.
