love yourself love yourself love yourself
Jan. 23rd, 2010 07:25 pmI had food poisoning the other day, as I mentioned in my last entry. I told two of my adult students about it today -- one a nurse, the other a middle-aged man I usually get on well with -- and he said, completely seriously, "well, at least it could help you start a diet and lose some weight!"
I ditched 'the customer is always right' and told him I completely disagreed with what he said, because you should never say something like that to someone, even as a joke (but he wasn't joking), but...
( Ri rants about weight loss culture, the pressure to diet, the beauty ideal, and more. You've been warned. )
