I had my feelings hurt today [View all]

[CatWoman]

During the past year I lost a lot of weight. Mainly due to my contracting gallstones. That was followed by a liver infection. Then I was diagnosed with high blood pressure.

My poor health and need for survival and look after my health dictated I lose weight. Since my first diagnoses, I've come down at least 5 dress sizes. I've gone from a size 22 to a size 12/14. I'm all about healthy eating and exercise.


My center is in the process of moving to another building where we will all be housed. Instead of us leasing 4 buildings, we will now inhabit 2 buildings on this new property, and our agency owns both buildings

My program moved last week. This afternoon I ran into a manager whose program is due to move in next week. (our center has 8 programs and our new building has 8 floors. they are moving us in by the floor, and my program is on the 8th floor).

She is a deputy director in another program. She is of Italian ancestry and is very slim. Her program is to move in next week and she was over checking out the her new area.

As I was leaving today she kept yelling at me loudly to wait up for her as I was headed to the elevator.

She commented on my weight loss and wanted to know if I had had "my mouth wired in order to lose weight".

I can't tell you how much that offended me.

My retort was that I wasn't Chris Christie. I can't afford quick fixes. I've had several health problems which dictated that I take my health into my own hands. Also the death of my only child only added to my determination that I get my act together. I walk with a limp because I have to have surgery on my right leg, but that still does not deter me. I need to walk to clear my head and get my daughter's death out of my mind.

She looked like a complete fool when I was finished. But for some reason I still feel hurt.

Now I just want to punch her in the mouth.
