You know this wasn't about you. She felt like a cow. I felt like a cow at 180 and having to buy size 14 clothes is what pushed me into doing something about it. For my body and in my head, I knew a size 14 meant I was obese. I've worked very hard to get where I'm at and yes I talk about what I eat and how much I work out in front of heavier people. It's a big part of my life. And I'm really proud of what I've accomplished. I'm not going to monitor my conversation about myself because it might affect someone else's self image.
