A little background: I started strict diet in July of 2018 and lost about 20 lbs by December. I’m a small person (5ft tall with a starting weight of 155) so 20 lbs was a lot for me! I felt like I had already conquered this whole diet thing and was getting a lot of compliments from family during the holidays. Once I lost the first 20 I felt amazing and decided to start exercising 5 days a week. I then lost another 10 pounds, leaving me at 125 currently and considerably more toned (and in love with working out).
Today one of my coworkers (who also had a big weight loss not long ago) found a department picture from December, she only joined my dept in January. She walked up to me and pointed to my face in the picture and then proceeded to fill her cheeks with air and make a fat face at me. I didn’t know how to react. I took a moment then finally asked if she was meaning I looked fat in that picture, a picture where I had already lost 20 pounds and felt like I was doing an amazing job! She realized I was upset and tried to turn it around, saying she was trying to point out how good I’m doing and how much I’ve lost. I told her that I was already so happy with my progress in that picture and she hurt my feelings. She apologized and told me that I should feel great that I’m loosing inches now and not just pounds. Now I feel awful, even though she apologized. I know I’m doing even better now but when I felt amazing four months ago did I still look like a cow? WHO IN THEIR RIGHT MINDS MAKE A FAT FACE AT SOMEONE WHO IS CLEARLY GOING THROUGH A DIET/LIFESTYLE CHANGE?? I feel bullied.. like the hard work I had put in during the holidays aka the hardest time of the year wasn’t even that impressive. Am I crazy? Am I being dramatic? I guess I just needed to vent.. I wish people understood that loosing 20 pounds is hard work and making fat faces isn’t excusable now that I’m thinner.
