Do I look Fat to You?
Will men never learn?
Yesterday my colleague and I were standing at the tea trolley making our beverages when we ran out of full cream milk.
He suggested I rather use the fat free version as it was anyway better for me!
“What?!!!” I asked not very nicely.
“Are you saying I’m fat!!??”
Fortunately for him he finished making his tea and never said another word.
I of course couldn’t leave it at that.
What can I say? I was having a bad day!
I told everyone who would listen that he suggested I use low fat milk.
All my female colleagues who heard the story reacted in horror and asked him how he could make a suggestion like that to any woman.
He sheepishly apologised and said he didn’t mean it like that, but it changed nothing!
Now I’ve never been overweight a day in my life, but PMS does things to a woman. It makes the most balanced (or how we’d like to think of ourselves) person act out of character and it does make us feel fat.
But seriously, regardless of the situation, no man should ever suggest low fat anything to any woman.
Unlike an ex-boyfriend who (suspiciously) once asked whether I put on some weight around the stomach area.
“Don’t worry,” I said to him, “I’m not pregnant, if that’s what you’re thinking!”
They deserve what they get after that!
