This happened awhile back but Ive been thinking on it lately.



Ive always been obese, even as a kid. But in the past year or 2 I really knuckled down and lost weight. Im still on my journey and not where I want to be due to plenty of ups and down (curse you side effects of medicine) but its a topic that came up in conversation between me and a friend. My friend is also obese. I personally dont think about it at all. I dont care if he's obese if he doesnt care and is happy. Its his body, his life, and Id never treat him differently because of his size.



As we were talking, I said that I finally am starting to be not fat, to which he told me I was never fat. Now, I definitely was. Im 5 ft 6.5 and I was almost 200 pounds when I started. Ive been fat long before we met. So I refuted his claim and said by definition, I was. So he asked me if I thought he was fat. And I said that technically he is. He seemed a little hurt and just said "wow, ouch" and we quickly moved on.


I didnt mean to hurt his feelings, but I can see how I might be an asshole here.
