So I went to WalMart to get some bread tonight. I was picking up a loaf of pretty decent wheat bread when an older lady approached me and offered me some advice. "You should pay the extra and get the whole wheat. Always get whole wheat. You're a little overweight, but you're young, so you can still fight it."
Hello. Really? I'm a size 16. While I'm not thin, I'm also not fat. I'm short at 5' 1", and it makes me look really curvy, but when did that become a bad thing? P.S. Lady, I have two kids under the age of 3, I get PLENTY of exercise! Why don't you worry about the box of Twinkies in your cart and let me worry about me wheat bread?!?
That just really gets to me. I'm fixating on this, I think, because I've put on a few pounds since I moved in with Quin, and I've been feeling a little self conscious. So her comments may have come at a bad time. But I don't think I'm overweight. Well, at least, I didn't. Until tonight. Thank you, lady! Now I'm going to go develop my weight complex...
