What do you do when your friends and family don't tell you that you are fat? Do they truly not see it because they see you all the time? Are they afraid to hurt your feelings? Does love give them a filter like in that one movie that I can't remember the name of?
Honestly - with my latest accomplishments in my weight loss/healthy living journey I've received a lot of compliments about how good I'm looking, oh my goodness you are disappearing etc, etc. Initially I had a complex because I wondered if I was a beach whale before...and those around me told me no...they didn't know why I was making such a fuss about people complimenting my progress. They insisted that I've always been proportionate and never fat, etc etc.
Then I went thru the phase where I finally started seeing a difference in my body and got excited and showing off a little more and they were like wow, yeah...but then I got a little insecure because my clothes are acting crazy and playing tricks on me...
So someone (out of love, respect and wanting to show me how proud she was) showed me some pictures of me from before...and I was a damn whale. And being proportionately fat does not make you less fat - it just means more body everywhere. And being tall isn't an excuse for not being healthy. But now I see the difference and being fit and active is part of my normal lifestyle, I crave it and I'm not going back to those clothes again...
And just so you know - now I'm looking at all yall sideways cause no one told me.
