So I ran into a friend of mine yesterday who told me that I looked like I'd really gained a lot of weight, and that the clothing I had on looked much too tight for my body.
I was pretty taken aback when she said it looked like I'd gained a stone and a half, or 20 or so pounds....I didn't feel particularly fatter than usual, given the current amount of stress in my life, and how much I have been fighting the urge to binge eat (not always successful, so yea, I did gain _some_ weight).
So I forced myself to stop at the store after work today and weigh myself. I'm coming in at a solid 220 which while not great, certainly isn't as much as was implied.
Usually, for me, I know when I've started to back slide into "fattest range" for me, is when I try to sleep or lie down and feel like my neck is squishing uip around my face. It feels gross, so I try to keep it away from that weight. My heaviest since I started here on FS, with logging my weight even if I am not always eating right or actively working to lose weight (even though I should). My heaviest was 238. I think that was back in 2010
Anyway, I just had to vent aboput this, because, weeeelll... yeah. It hurt my feelings and I also found it laughable that she told me it was obviously middle age spread and I should dress more appropriately. (to be clear, I was wearing a pair of black slacks and a burgundy long sleeve that covers my pot belly.
How can it be middle age spread if I've had it all my life?
*shaking head*
Ok, I am going to bed now.
