Woke up Fat

haha.
Just something I have thought about over the last couple years. I gained the weight pretty quickly so there were times that something was said or something happened...and I had that shocked feeling. "I'm fat?!"
Just when I thought I was finally getting use to it and past all the shock of being the fat girl, I am losing weight. Now I am getting shocked that I am not the fat girl. lol!

Any stories to share? Was there a moment or a comment that shocked you into looking long and hard in the mirror?

This was many years ago, but I remember it like it was yesterday ...

I went to visit a friend of mine and her 4-year-old was there. It had been probably about a month since I had seen them. As I walked into her house her daughter came running up to me, stopped and said "Boy, you got bigger since I saw you."

Surprisingly, I had the opposite experience. I expanded slowly and apparently had a fun house mirror that made me look "average" or maybe just "a little heavy". Now I look back at photos in shock that I was so big (so does my hubby which is very weird! LOL).

Children are great like that huh? hehe I always ask my kids how I look when I am about to go out. They are honest.

I think photos are strange like that. I can look at myself in the mirror then get my picture taken and agree...the camera does ad 10lbs (30lbs) haha
