Ex-Fat Fuck Syndrome

Meant to mention - blood yesterday was 5.6. Blood this morning on the high side - 6.4.

So here we are on Leap-Day, the day that only appears every four years. Nothing much to note from the day - again, very little exercise, and a reasonable calorific load. Ma had her eyeballs punctured, and is now resplendant behind rock-star shades.

Was talking to a pal earlier today. She raised a spectre of which I've been vaguely aware during this process. In fact, I've mentioned it before here and there - Inside every fat person is a skinny bitch screaming to get out.

What I mean by that is the idea that if you lose a lot of weight, you notice other people who are still carrying theirs much more than you ever did when you had it yourself. In fact, you have to fight the urge to judge your once-fellow fat fucks for still being fat fucks, when you're less fat than you used to be. It's basically ex-smoker syndrome, and while I know several rabid ex-smokers who now appear to hate and judge the behaviour of current smokers, for myself, I think it's a point of principle to not be a whiny, judgmental skinny bitch (even when I get to actually be a skinny bitch) to my fellow fat fucks.

Of course, ex-smokers would undoubtedly argue that there's a fundamental point of difference, in that smokers pollute the breathable atmosphere, where fat fucks don't (farts notwithstanding). But for me, it's just a 'fellow-feeling' thing - if you've been there, you know what got you there, and why you stayed there as long as you did, so there's no reason to judge those who are still where you used to be. We all either come to this point in our own time, or we don't. There's no 'right' answer, despite what the medics will shout at you. It's whatever is right for you at the time.

But hey - that's just me. There are plenty of ex-fat fucks out there looking down on their current fat fuck friends, I'm guessing.

So consider this a message from Briga-day. If you feel the little demon on your shoulder, telling you to judge your fat friends for being fat...don't be a dick, just bitchslap that thing and  have a laugh with your pals. ALL your pals.
