At a meeting a few days ago, a colleague walked in the room, looked at me, and said, "Look at you! You're wasting away!"
I replied, "Really? You think so?"
The colleague asked me why I didn't seem enthusiastic about it, since she had never seen me wear such fitted clothes and I had obviously lost a lot of weight to be able to do so.
I explained: "These were my new fat clothes when I bought them...with deep shame."
So, although I'm grateful to have lost some weight, I still have nothing to be proud of. Talk to me when I weigh 120 pounds, and then you'll see me feeling some sense of accomplishment.
