Lauren, that's a horrible day. Big hugs!...Eeeeek! Lauren, that's a horrible day. Big hugs!<BR/><BR/>I had a rather similar series of events this holiday... people writing comments on my blog saying that they think I'm overweight (people who have never seen me and are reacting to an old figure that is still dead center of the "healthy" weight charts for my height) followed by someone in the drugstore referring to my 93 year old grandmother as my mother, followed by my grandmother asking me how much I weigh. <BR/><BR/>All stuff I should take with a grain of salt, I know, but none of us are Buddhas (I think!) and it's just hard. So I appreciate you blogging about your bad day. <BR/><BR/>Hang in there! You're gorgeous, especially doing yoga!<BR/><BR/>aAprilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17869543039583537245noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13149662.post-59227877564296697152008-12-15T10:58:00.000-05:002008-12-15T10:58:00.000-05:00I'm a little confused....the person at the desk th...I'm a little confused....the person at the desk thought you were 65?

That made me roll my eyes. Come on. I have a hard time estimating the weight of anyone over about 5'3", so why shouldn't it go the other way? The other day I insulted a therapy client by not reacting properly to her comment that she had reached 165lbs. Chick was about 6 feet tall, thin, number meant nothing to me. The guy who insulted you is a receptionist, not a nutritionist or even a doctor used to estimating weight so as to prescibe the proper doses of meds. <BR/><BR/>Trust me, my weight matters and every day the scale stays up I start the day depressed. But your scale isn't up. You just had a bad guesser tacked onto an already crappy day. At least let that part go.<BR/><BR/>Oh yeah, low bone density runs in my part of the family, too.DebPChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14168502419855983112noreply@blogger.com
