Dear Bettie, the person referring to you as ‘fat’ is an insinsitive jerk. I used to work with a lady who always made comments about someone’s appearance. A lady customer came in who was about 6 feet tall and my co-worker (in her late 50’s…well old enough to know better) said ‘wow, you sure are tall.’ The women looked embarassed and didn’t say a word so I told my co-worker, in private, to please don’t comment on people’s appearances. My co-worker is a very self-centered person and I was so glad when she moved away. I think when we die, we will feel everything we dished out in our lives. Those people who comment about your weight will feel every upset you have felt and all the good things you’ve done for others…you will feel that too. I totally understand the feelings that go with being overweight and a comment from someone about it is crushing. Good for you for not gambling!
