Proof of fats lack of self awareness Hello folks. Me again. Back for another little story involving a workmate - let's call her carbiebarbie. She has just started working for us (restaurant trade) as a barista. I work as a patisserie chef so I see my fair share of fatties, as you can imagine. But, alas, I am not fat myself - even though I have 24/7 access to every kind of bad food you can imagine - I have self control and am not a fuckwit. Carbiebarbie is no taller than 5ft, 20 years old and easily a UK size 18, if not bigger. I think that translates to a US size 14, but correct me if I'm wrong. She started working for us last week and is your typical bleach blonde, dippy, bubbly loudmouth who people pretend to listen to, just to shut her up. I thought I would give you a taste of some anecdotes: Noone:...  Carbiebarbie: 'I used to be really fat, you know.'  Noone:... Me: looking her up and down, at her huge gut specifically. (wanting to break the awful tension)... 'Oh, really?'  Carbiebarbie: 'yeah, I lost 3 stone last year! I'm so glad I find it easy to drop the weight. I can eat whatever I want, really. I don't exercise either.' Me: 'how fantastic for you...are you still losing? whats your goal weight?' Carbiebarbie: 'I've already gone past my goal weight? I didn't want to get tooo skinny...' (as she looks at me) Everyone in the room: awkward silence. How do they not realise they are STILL grossly overweight?! She was seriously so proud of her weight loss and thought she was slim. She is nowhere near. She needs at least another 3 stone taking off, if not more. She bursts out of her work uniform (size XL in case you were wondering, I wear an XS and find it a relaxed fit). She can't even tie the apron around her without it strangling her stomach. I can tie mine twice around my waist!  On another occasion...  Carbiebarbie: (walks into my kitchen unannounced and unwelcome at lunchtime rush) 'I'm sooooo glad I don't work up here. Its a wonder you can stay so thin, don't you eat everything??' Me:... 'no?... To be honest you get kinda sick of the sight of sweet food when you work with it all the time. And anyway, I have self restraint when it comes to unhealthy foods - it's a slippery slope!' Carbiebarbie: 'oh you are such a liar! I bet you eat it all the time. You are one of those lucky skinny girls who can eat what's she wants and stay tiny!' Me: 'actually no, I exercise often, I walk to and from work every day and have young children to run around after so I guess I work any calories off..' Carbiebarbie: just raises her eyebrows at me and saunters (trots) away On an unrelated note.. My kitchen is on the top floor of the building and I have a great view of everyone who walks past our shop window. Every single freaking time someone stops to glare at our sweets, I can guarantee you it's a fatty. Some honestly will walk past 3-4 times, whilst trying to act nonchalant, so no one can tell they are drooling at the pies and cakes. It's so obvious to me. You walked past 4 times today fatso, we all know what you are doing, just come in and give me some money then fuck off (:
