Today my dad's friend, who is our sub-contractor, stopped by my office. I have not seen him in 2 months or so. He used to always flirt with me and tell me perverted, but flattering things about how pretty he thought i was... i didn't really "enjoy" his compliments, but it was nice to know.
Sooo... he looks at me today and goes for a hug... but SQUEEZES MY LOVE-HANDLES instead, and says: "Wow! You've gained lots of weight. Are you pregnant?"
Shocked I replied, "No! Not preggies, for sure". I know i probably turned REALLY red at that very moment.
He just laughed and told me to lay off the junk food, coffee, and take better care of myself.
I cried in the bathroom for like 5 minutes.
I'm crushed! I mean i know i've gained weight since beginning of the year, but like 5-6 pounds. I'm so busy with life now, i don't have time for gym or exercise. Most days i'm just exhausted.
But for somebody to go and make a comment so personal and hurtful - yeah,it really made me feel like shit.
To all boys and men out there, DON'T EVER MENTION WEIGHT OR SIZE WHEN TALKING TO A WOMAN.
