*hugs* Danni.

DH's horse was racing last week at Ascot so I went to watch. For anonymity, let's say my last name is Smith. Conversation with DH's cousin goes like this:

Cousin - how does it feel to be the fattest Smith on course?

I asked him to repeat it because I was so shocked! Plus, I'd only had one of the girls there tell me not 10 minutes before how good I looked!

At my Christmas party, a guy said to me "gee, you're looking tubby". I turned around and said "that extra weight suits you too". He was astounded. I would never, ever comment on someone's weight, what gives others the right to comment on yours? (except in this instance when I thought it was deserved!)

*vent over*

Danielle, I couldn't have smiled serenely like yourself, I would have given the barman daggers!

Okay, I'm still going!

There is a friend who calls me "big girl" and I really hate it. My SIL said I should say "yes, and isn't it fantastic!".

So, I guess I should take SIL's advice and kind of agree IYKWIM? Plus, I'm almost at the end and have put on 13kg's which I am really happy with.
