I kinda got my feelings hurt today. I walked into a gas station in a part of town I haven't been to in a long while. The cashier that works there has always been friendly with me, but we don't know each others names and have never hung out. I haven't lived in the west end of Louisville for almost a year. Anyway, as I was walking to the counter she blurts out loud as hell. "Giiirl, I almost didn't recognize you, you've put on a few pounds huh? You starting to look like me!" I resisted the urge to say that she has gotten uglier and her gap tooth has widened since the last time I saw her, so I just paid for my stuff and left. I sat in the car and sulked the whole way home. I don't know whether to be mad or grateful, cause that one interaction made me feel horrible, but on the other hand it made me wake up. I guess my weight gain is really noticeable now. I can see it but it doesn't sink in until someone tells you the truth. Now I'm going to have a good cry and go to the gym. Later
