A vow to my fellow (former) fatties

If I was a vindictive person, I would count among my fitness goals to eventually be that person who, although not overweight, always tries to commiserate with those who are, thereby making them want to punch something.

You know what I mean...those horrible people who are obviously much thinner, but complain about being fat to people who really are truly, visibly, undeniably fat. It happened to me just today. I told a super thin coworker that I am counting calories, to which she replies, "Oh me too. It's so hard to lose weight as you get older." She's a stick. Proverbial daggers shot from my eyes as I glared at her in response, resisting the urge to shout, "Hello? Can you really not see me sitting here being twice your size??"

The point is, I'm not a vindictive person. So I vow to you, my fellow (recently former or soon to be former) fatties, that I will always be very conscious of the feelings of those around me, no matter their size or mine.

I really like this post a lot actually! I shoot eye daggers towards my roommates on a fairly regular basis when they complain about the 2 pounds they gained this past semester or the fact that they're soooo big. I mean I know it's all relative and everyone has different body types and goals. It's just really frustrating when people seem to be unaware of who is around them. I've never been a fan of thin people who fish for compliments though... not my thing. Haha Therefore, I will vow with you to also be conscious of the feelings of the people around me and to not complain about my weight to said people, especially in a way that has the underlying motive of receiving a compliment about how I look.
