After a coffee and about 2-3 drinks for the others, we launched into a discussion about one of our's friend's insane diet. Then suddenly, the spotlight seemed to land quite quickly and unexpectedly upon me.
P: You know, you were too skinny the first time i saw you! Now you are optimal sized.
M: Oh really? Can't imagine!! You lost a bit of weight from last year huh? Based on arm size. Now looks good!
Now P & M are fantastically well-meaning people. Sweet and quite Politically Correct, when they can.
But this conversation kind of threw me off. Not to say I was upset or angry, but I then started wondering about the times they met me when I was not, as I shall say, 'my optimal size'.
What were their thoughts then?
I suppose we got to think twice about saying these things sometimes.
