The Mirror
The other day at work, I was walking down the hall and one of my female co-workers caught up with me and say "you're looking thin; have you lost some weight?"
I said "yeah, I have, a bit." (I have lost about 10 lbs, actually, by cutting out junk food and most bread-ish stuff and eating more vegetables. Doing so also stopped my insane food cravings and sudden onset hunger rage).
She narrowed her eyes at me, laughed, and said "you bitch, like you needed it."
Why do people talk to each other like this? Why do women, specifically, talk to each other like this? How was I supposed to respond to this other than shrug my shoulders and go back to my cube. Of course I didn't need it. I wasn't overweight, and I know that I could live my life eating some kind of pastry/ candy/ junk food/ whatever every day and my body will pretty much cope, because that's how I had been living for the past 28 years. But being at the mercy of food cravings is kinda ridiculous when you step back and take a hard look at it, and my body was only too glad to make the transition to something else.
If you're jealous of my "guns" because I'm willing to make the right choices in food and exercise and you haven't, don't hate on me--go get a gym membership.
