When I was younger my mum always used to comment on my 'flappy ears'. Not because they were like Dumbo's but because I'd pick up snippets of conversations. At work people have been surprised that I've heard alarms going off or in the case of a certain guard - breaking wind in the kitchen!
On Saturday I went shopping for a few bits, but also to find a little something as an incentive to slim into. I'd popped into BHS and picked up a top and the flappy ears came into play. A poor man had obviously made the mistake of asking his partner what was wrong with her - bad move.
The said lady was obviously doing the same as me, and trying to find something which she liked and which fitted. The comment to her husband was that she'd lost four stone but was still a size 20.
My first thought was she's the same size as me. Then it was that she'd done well at losing so much weight. To be honest I wanted to grab her (nicely) and congratulate her on her success and to say what does it matter if you're only a size 20? I decided against this as she looked really upset and I didn't want to sound as though I'd been listening in on her conversation.
On hindsight, I wish I had spoken to the lady and suffered the consequences had there been any. After all, I wouldn't necessarily have seen her again. When you think of the number of people using this forum and the praise and support we've received from complete strangers. Maybe a face to face congratulations would have been received just as well?
