So recently a friend of mine told me that Ive put on weight. Shes the type of person who doesn't get how insulting and hurtful that was. In her mind she was doing me a favour by letting me know in case I didnt already know that I had gained 10kg in a year. And on a later meeting with this friend she mentioned a cheap gym I could join. Lovely.
But even though I felt horrible for weeks and I cried a little it was that shameful feeling I needed to stop eating bad food and start walking and exercising more. To take things seriously. Even though I think my friend was out of line because Im still in the healthy weight range it stopped me from going down that slippery slope. And even though I was not fitting into my clothes anymore and feeling tired all the time I still didnt want to believe that I had gained weight until she told me I had.
Im not sure what the moral is of this story but I hope something insightful was gained.
