This is the last time!!
And it's only half way through it too
I am still feeling pretty poorly with tonsillitis and general 'bleurgh' illness, very weak, floaty head etc. But I dragged myself in to work this morning as I look after my colleagues 2 children on a Monday afternoon whilst she studies and I didn't want to let her down. Only for her to tell me that her brother flew over last night and he would be watching them so I didn't need to. Had a pathetic cry over that, got over it, the kids were beyond hyper today - hitting, biting, throwing toys. Things that they never ever usually do, so terrible morning in work where I feel all I have done is be negative.
Then, nipped to the post office to post nephew a parcel, and a little boy of around 4 loudly told his mum that he didnt want to stand next to the fat lady (me) because 'she is so fat'
Now, I know kids say it like it is, however, as a mother myself I would have been mortified and made the child apologise, explianing how things hurt people's feelings. But no, this woman and her friends just started laughing and looking at me. The post office was baking hot and due to feeling so ill I thought I was going to pass out, and I was close to tears yet I had to stay by these ignorant laughing people as I had promised this parcel to my nephew.
I'm 5'7, wearing very loose size 20 clothes. Many people tell me that I do not 'look' big as I appear to carry my weight well.
I'm absolutely devastated, I feel like crap anyway, and to be laughed at by a bunch of ignorant people, judging me on how I look not how I am has hurt me to the core.
I suppose I am lucky that it has never really happened before. Maybe that's why it hurts so much :cry:
