Hurt...

So, I left for work today and I was feeling pretty good; and to be quite honest, I was feeling just pretty. So, I got to work, and everyone was complimenting me on how I looked. It felt good to know that people thought I was pretty too. I was also feeling like all this working out, and raquett ball and cutting back, eating right, was really paying off. It made me want to keep it up. I have done a good job, and I felt good. Until...

the next thing I know a co-worker of mine, a woman, asks me if I had ever shopped at a particular store, and I said no, but I wished I had the money to go buy new clothes. She says this and everything in me sunk to the floor and I wish that I never existed. "Oh, everything there is cheap! It cost less than TJMaxx and even better they even have your sizes!! There is a really big section it goes from the women sizes and then there a big section full of your sizes. I accidently found it when I saw this cute shirt, but when I picked it up it was WAYYYY to big for me. You should go check it out!" My sizes? How big does she think I am? But as we talked she repeated this statement a couple more times and after she left I tried to hold back the tears, but I couldn't. I lied to everyone who asked me what was wrong. I didn't want them to know what she said, or even that she said it. I haven't set goals because I didn't want to get to a point where I felt like it just wasn't worth it. I didn't want to feel like what I was doing was all for nothing. Well, apparently I didn't need to. She did it. I feel like everything I have done is for nothing. Just when I think I am getting ahead, and I actually feel pretty, and for the first time I feel thinner, I am reminded of how big I actually am. Who cares that I am on the eliptical machine for 40 min every other day, I play raquettball like a mad woman. It really doesn't matter what I do, I am and forever will be big, and next time I go shopping I guess I will have to make sure they have "my sizes".

Look, that chick was stupid. You can't possibly focus on that. You have been so awesome lately, feeling good and with such a great attitude that it would only make that dumb lady right if you stopped. Anyway, you have blogged about your love and committment to raquetball.....are you really going to just leave him hanging there? He'll just wait and wait for you....it's just wrong...;-)

I read this while its quite some time after the fact, I just had to comment. You must truly be making progress, so much so that an insecure co-worker chose to deliberately attempt to undermine you & derail you. Feel pity for her that she would do something like that, and feel good for yourself that you are making visible progress. And keep on going!

Just my 2 cents.
