I've received some interesting comments since I've begun to lose weight. The other day a lady at work walked by and said, "You know, you really are very pretty" a guy said, "Someone said you are losing weight, I don't notice stuff like that" (right, he always noticed when I ate junk food before Weight Watchers).
What I want to say to America, The world, Those who hate fat people, ~
I AM SO MUCH MORE THAN MY WEIGHT!!!!
I know it is human nature to judge a person within the first few seconds of meeting them. And a huge part of that is appearance. But, come on! I am a woman, mother, wife. I'm intelligent, fun, friendly. I have 2 Bachelor Degrees, 1 Master, working on a second Master's Degree. I love to read,
Why, oh why do people continue to judge me and my appearance due to my weight? I have lost and gained weight countless times, but people only comment positively when I've noticibly lost weight.
So I pledge to all of you who may read this blog - don't judge people on their appearance. Learn more, dig deeper, accept before you dismiss.
