I thought I would bring this over from where I slapped it up on the "I'm obese" post.
"As an aside, I also hate it when people come up to me and either say "Are you losing weight" or "You've lost weight" because it almost always comes with an undercurrent of "You're not ok right now" or "You were not ok as you were." YES I WAS. YOU just couldn't accept me there.
So I'm chosing A) not to accept you right here, right now (at least temporarily) and B) I'm chosing not to accept your judgement. Then I tell them I'm not losing weight. It drives them bonkers, especially because they can't figure out why someone would not be honest about losing weight. I mean, doesn't everyone want to not be fat?"
Do/have others encounter(ed) this same phenomenom (da da....da da da
)? How do/have you handle(d) it?
