People treat me differently because I'm not so fat

[Undertoad]

I passed a milestone this morning and weighed in below 220. I've lost 22 pounds from 6 months ago and 45 from my "high weight" which I achieved in 2011.

Because it was late and there were no other customers, the hairdresser washed my hair after the cut. "It'll get rid of all the little hairs, plus I can compare the sides more easily," she said. After I left I realized... that never happened when I was a mess.

Things are changing. It's not coincidence.

The skinny guy running the self-checkout lanes opened up out of nowhere about the frozen chicken entrees I was buying. "They're great, did you try the cordon bleu?"

Skinny people never ask fat people about what food they're buying.

People are nicer and kinder and happier. They acknowledge me now, more than ever.

And the point is this.

What horrible assholes we all are.
