I just recently made a post, so sorry its me again but I have time on my hands and need support so I hope it is ok. I wasn't going to post about this because I was embarrassed but I could really use the support and understanding from other people who have been in a similar situation cause its just getting to my head.
I went out to a restaurant for the first time in over a year the other day with a friend. this is the first time i had been inside a restaurant since the pandemic started so it was a pretty big deal for me. ive been going to drive thru fast food places but thats it. its was a pizza place, so we were just gonna get some food to go. i had just come back from a really stressful doctors appointment and i thought this would be a good reward. i know people some people say not to use food as a reward and im working on that, but the idea of finally being able to go into a place and get a bite to eat was something i really felt i needed at the time so i just went with it. this past month i cut my fast food habits by like 75% and just wanted to have a little bit of a cheat meal so i dont end up restricting myself too much like ive done in the past.
I ordered 2 things and they werent the healthiest, a calzone and mozzarella sticks on the side. the guy working, who im almost positive was the owner, told me they didnt have either of those things. he told me to try the veggie pizza or a salad cause its healthy. i declined and ordered a different slice of pizza. he gave me a really small slice!
i got home and asked my friend about it. i was legit giving the guy at the pizza place the benefit of the doubt but my friend said she thought he was fat shaming me. then i started thinking about it more and im starting to think it was true. she thought that he might even be doing this to try to make more money off of fat people cause she thought the healthy salad and pizza was much more expensive. and maybe he wasnt really out of the calzone and mozzarella sticks.
im 5'4 160 and 10 lbs from my goal weight and a healthy bmi. i carry a lot of weight on my stomach so my friend said maybe i just look a lot more overweight than i really am so he felt like he could do this to me. ill never know but i dont know if i want to go back to that place again.
its just hard cause this is the first place ive been out to in over a YEAR due to the pandemic. i know its not gonna happen all the time and it was just unlucky and maybe im blowing it out of proportion, but just how people think about and treat fat people really bothers me.
