Playing the Angel
I had a pretty interesting lightbulb moment today. So thought I would share it to see if any one else has had similar experiences.
When I was overweight, I knew I was, but realistically never saw myself as fat as I really was. I only realised the full horror when I have looked back at pictures. However, today this happened in a reverse way.
I was in another unit and one of the ladies there is really thin, or in my mind really thin - tiny infact. When I arrived our accountant was there, and commented that I looked great and was so lovely and thin now, and then said you and H are the same size. I did a double take. In my head she was much smaller than me. So I said to her, "no no, impossible, H you must be a size 6?" She replied that no she was a size 8 - which is realistically what I am now. I was absolutely gobsmacked! Asked her again to be sure. She said that we were the same size and it sort of hit me, that I am thin, really thin. Why can I not see my true size even now???
Very strange stuff, but did make me realise that I probably should not be loosing any more weight because if I am the same size as she is, and I consider her to be almost too thin, then I must be too???
