art:weight

[lnr]

Kool, rjk just pointed out this very nifty site: http://www.kryogenix.org/code/browser/aqgoogle/ for a new method of posting ascii art.

In other news I've just accidentally ended up feeling like I had to defend my right to lose weight, just as I used to end up having to defend my right to be fat in the first place. Yes it's nice that my friends don't think of me as a big fat lump (though some of them have more or less expressed the opinion that I was, as non-offensively as possible but it still hurt at the time), but it's still kind of odd. I do think I'm a bit over-sensitive about it though. So apologies if I occasionally rant about stuff.

Have they *seen* you or are they just guessing you're "too thin" now? Erm, not that I'm implying you look awful, cos you don't, but you're quite blatantly not about to snap in the next breeze or anything. Besides, it's up to you what size you want to be, not them. You're doing great, and I'm sure you'll carry on doing so, but don't you dare overtake me before I reach target OK?

And thanks.

I'm not sure I *did* need to defend myself this morning, just that I felt like it. Might well just have been over-reacting to what was meant as a complement :-)

Yeah, they saw me at about 3 1/2 stone down.. I honestly don't quite understand why they said it. I'm still a size 18/20 so I know and they know I'm not about to keel over.

They also had a great debate once about why I'd never be a size 12 (apparently I have big bones)

I'll try not to overtake ;) I've sabotaged myself quite well this week so you're in no danger just yet
