I just emailed my family pictures from Thanksgiving and almost had a heart attack looking at them.
“I can’t believe that I’m that big!” is whispered from my lips while I click send to the last family member.
If friends got the chance to see me from a year ago, they would be mortified.
Now I know why people on the street stop and stare. Now I know why managers and temporary agencies will not hire me. I know that people shouldn’t be prejudice towards large people but they are.
Currently the scale that I have can not weigh me. I have to step on a stack of books and multiply the scale twice to get some kind of sum for my weight. As I step on the scale, I step on my long path towards a thinner body.
I hope that everyone learns from the journey.
