Are you looking for the BariatricPal Store? Go now!

Recommended Posts

I am a grocery checker at a large store. Yesterday I had a plump women come through my line with a lot of lean cuisine meals. I told her that I loved them and used them as my lunch on work days.(I only can eat half of it!) She gave me a look while sizing me up and said "Why? You don't look like you need to lose any weight!" Me not needing to lose weight I love it! Here she thought she was being nasty to me and she actually made my day!! I still have 12 pounds left to go, but boy do I feel good now, I could not stop smiling the rest of the day!

That is awesome! I would definitely consider that an NSV!

When things like that happen, it reminds me of when I was the plump one making comments to "skinny" people. Your perspective changes when you become the skinny one. We never know the journey of others.

did you give her any words of encouragement? tell her what you have been doing?

I wish someone would have put a bug in my ears!! sometimes it's easier to hear these things from someone we don't know and will probably never see again!!?

One thing that does bother me though is that my larger regular customer don't come to me anymore. I guess they related to me better when I weighed another 130 pounds. Makes me sad because I am the same person on the inside.

Some I do and others you know you just do not go there. I told one lady the other day and she was so excited she is getting a lap band in March! I told her any questions or concerns she knows where to find me.
