Hildy to Sara: “I’m assuming you’re fat.”
I am assuming Sara has COMPASSION, unlike you.
Compassion, excuses —are you on the right website?
Everybody is meeeeean —except YOU..! YOU CARE MORE...!
Thanks.
As someone who has battled weight her whole life I’m telling you the best thing that ever happened to me is when someone I cared about took me aside and told me I needed to lose weight. The first one was my Father when I was 15 years old. I was crushed, but I wanted him to be proud of me and I lost weight and it was the best thing I did for myself as a 15 year old girl. The next time would be over 20 years later. My best friend had the guts to tell me what nobody else would, that I was as big as she’d ever seen me. I couldn’t lie to myself anymore and I lost 40 pounds in the next three months and have worked my ass off (so to speak) to never put it back on again. four years later I am 120 pounds, a size 4 and I have earned the right to say the things I do.
I’ll say it again, any woman who tells you she is happy being fat is LYING and would give years of her life to be thin. That’s just a fact.
I don’t define compassion as making people feel ok about the things they have the power to change. There are very few things we really have control over in life. Our weight is one of them. Sue me.
