You know, I kind of giggle every time I hear that I handled it so well. I am usually the first person to tell my mind when someone (else) is being "abused". I think I was taken back enough to just take it in stride. Normally, I have a potty mouth and a pissy mood to go with it! I guess she just caught me at the right time!
Again, I do thank you all for your kind, encouraging words. You know, since gaining this weight I truly have a totally different outlook on the "bigger" life. I knew what it was like to be thin and not being able to find anything to wear because all the size 3/4 were gone or they were too long.. but now being heavier... I am having to really learn how to dress, "fat". I am holding a lot of my weight in my belly so I have a really hard time finding shirts to hide my midsection or my rolls.
I never realized how hard it really is and have the utmost respect for larger people..and the struggles that come with it!
