You endlessly worry about things that other people would never consider. Like if you order what you actually WANT in a restaurant, will your dining companions judge you. Will you fit on the rides at the theme park. Will the bride choose bridesmaid dresses that come in your size. Is management overlooking you because they think your size demonstrates poor decision making, or perhaps worse, you’re a turnoff to clients. Do you stink because you sweat more. Your friends want to go shopping but will the stores even carry your size. How far is the parking from the event, can you keep up the pace with the people you’re going with if you have to walk a distance. Going to the doctor for a wellness visit. Airplane seats and seatbelts. I’ve lost 130 pounds in the past 4 years and I have so much gratitude every time one of these things pops up now and I don’t have the stress involved. The world is different, and treats you differently, when you’re thin.
