Paige E's Journal, 09 January 2009

Once again I'm recording my food in the middle of the night!!! But I just got off work, so its appropriate for me!!

I had something a little disheartening happen at work tonight. When I started this job three months ago, I started with another girl. She was cute, petite......thin. She didn't make it. She got fired about 6 weeks into the job. Tonight I heard a customer ask the owner why she got rid of the "thin girl" and kept the "big one". I'm sure they didn't think I heard. But it really hurt. However, I AM big. And I certainly am a lot bigger than that other woman was. The person said it in such a "matter of fact" way that it seemed like it was so natural. And there's a part of me that says he was just stating the obvious....still...its not what I want to hear. And it certainly is not what I want to be.

I don't want to be the "big girl". I don't want people to think of me in terms of size. I want them to notice my thick hair, my silly laugh, my smile, my smart-ass comments, my positive attitude or my fabulous butt. I don't want to be the "big girl" anymore.

I hope tomorrow is a good weigh in. I need it. Don't we all?

People can say some of the most hurtful things without even realizing what they have done but don't let that bother you (I know, easier said than done). Anyhow, I think it was rude and uncalled for. You were kept b/c you deserve it and your boss probably knows you were the better choice b/c of your skill. A few people still know that it's what's on the inside that counts. Besides, take this in stride... you will overcome, you will lose weight and tone up, you will soon see yourself as beautiful on the outside as I know you are on the inside! Hang in there!!
