I work in construction on a high-rise apartment tower and me and my co-worker were up on a floor that just had the steel framing put in. We were working on opposite ends of the floor and he asked me to hand him a tool. Instead of just walking between frames I went the long way, out the door frame and through the hallway.
When I got to my co-worker he gave me a weird look and said 'You know you can just walk through the frames' 'Ya I don't think I can fit though' I replied. He looked at me with an even more quizzical expression. 'You know you're not fat right' I felt pretty awkward when he said that so I just turned around and walked off, lo and behold I could fit through the frames with ease. My co-worker even gave me a cheeky 'there you go' as I walked off.
For my co-worker it was probably a slightly bizarre/annoying moment and he was pretty abrupt but for me it was a reminder of how far I've come. I've been on a wight loss journey with lots of ups and downs for 2.5 years now and I'm only a couple of kgs away from my goal of getting below 80kgs, having started from 110. Mentally I still 'feel' fat but that moment served as a positive reminder that I'm on the right track and have come a long way.
