Is Irrepressible!! : )
.... or should I just ignore something that occurred yesterday?
When I started LT I didn't tell anyone at work as I didn't know how it was going to go for me and as I am well known I just thought it would be easier to protect myself from snide comments etc. However a few weeks ago after losing nearly 3 stone I finally outed myself and if people asked, I told them what I was doing.
Yesterday a woman (who had already said that she was jealous of my weight loss) turned around and said she didn't like me anymore. When I asked why she said it was because I had got slim. Now, I don't know if the is the totm hormones that made me get angry (not in front of her! I am professional ya know!) but it felt like she was saying; I liked you when you were fat, because you were fatter than me and now you're not- so therefore I have decided that I no longer like you.
Don't get me wrong, compliments are one thing- but that just feels like a personal attack on my personality. I haven't changed- only my body. I feel more self-conscious now that I have lost weight than I did when I was 3 stone heavier! I find myself covering my torso with my massive bag when I walk around or crossing my arms in front of me.
Grrrr..... anyone else had this? xxx
