I’ve let this stew for a few a days, and I don’t know if AITA for not being able to let this go. I’ve always struggled with my weight. I’m getting married this year and working with an overly expensive but effective nutrition group. You meet in private 1-1 sessions once a week, weigh in and review your plan. I’ve lost 25 pounds in 3 months so far and yes, it’s emotional and I know I’m a little sensitive about it. In my past session, I didn’t meet with my regular person but someone new to me, let’s call her Karen. I’m in my 30’s and I would guess she was in her 60’s. We are sitting down reviewing my food tracker and my Dr has me on an intermittent fasting plan where I try to go as long as I can with out eating until I’m really hungry. I was proud that I made one day until 6p so I highlighted it in my tracker. She, Karen, took my tracker out of my hand and bopped me on the forehead with it and said, “Shame on you, you shouldn’t go so long with out eating.” I was shocked she just hit me, and even more so during Covid, plus the shameful tone of her comment with action. I said, “don’t hit me.”
She proceeded to sit back and say how I should be eating more during the day, and I said if she read my file, I shouldn’t, and losing 2.8 pounds in a week, means I’m doing what I’m suppose to be doing. Later when I left the room she apologized for bopping me on the head. I’m bothered because I found the whole thing unprofessional. I would never touch one of my clients, even in a joking matter, or someone I just met for the first time. And I would never shame anyone going through weight loss for doing good or for having a tough day or a tough week that has set them back. I’m not this person’s daughter and I shouldn’t be treated like a child by anyone senior.
I’m trying to let this go and it’s rare for things to bother me, especially for this long- but I am disturbed by this. AITA for letting this get to me and want to report it to her office?
