'You need to gain some weight now.'

Yesterday somebody said to me ‘You’ve lost so much weight since I last saw you, you need to gain some weight now!’

I said, ‘I don’t think so,’ and left the room so as to bite my tongue.

I thought, ‘fuck off you jealous, interfering bitch. I am healthy, where before I was unhealthy. I am slim, where before I was obese. I am fit, where before I couldn’t run for a bus. I look good, where before I was miserable about my weight.’

I wish I’d said it out loud.

(Oh, and she’s overweight.)
