Actually, what my co-workers said and did didn't hurt as much as it made me angry. VERY angry. I never want to be placed in a situation like that again. I'm glad I confronted them but just wish I hadn't cursed at them. I'm sure they will think twice before making comments like that again.

A male co-worker commented on my smoking; "You could drop dead right here from smoking. What would we do? We'd have to get a crane to lift you." Another co-worker, who claimed to be my friend, doubled over laughing. (A couple of years earlier a co-worker "mooed" at me.") I didn't recognize myself in the mirror because I was so swollen looking. I had problems with joint pains, difficulty sleeping, tired all the time. High blood pressure, high cholesterol, .... I realized that I would have to diet the rest of my life if I wanted to quit smoking and have an active lifestyle. I don't regret my decision. Banded: May 9, 2006 Dr. Carter 211/195/150 - 5'6"
