Weight Loss Hate Loss

Sometimes it’s not the direct people who hurt the most. Sometimes it’s the furtive nature of the delivery that leaves the biggest festering wounds:

“He’s just a bit husky”
“He’s always been big boned”
“I’m sure most of it is water weight!”
“He’s not fat – just nice and chunky”

No. I’m not ‘husky’, I’m not ‘big boned’, I don’t have eight stone of ‘water weight’ and I certainly outrank the likes of ‘chunky’. I know it, you know it, so don’t let’s dance around the issue.

There’s nothing worse than skirting around the elephant in the room with mellifluous sentiments; being overweight isn’t an issue unless you make it one by attempting to mask your distaste for the truth with sanitising comments such as those above.
