I bartend in a restaurant that serves right next to a cookie dough shop. Often I will recommend the little shop to guests who don't want the huge portioned and heavily sugary desserts we serve, and they can get cold milkshakes.
More backstory, I got super chonky because of depression and binge eating 2 years ago, hit 350 pounds and said, "no more" and after working hard and losing so much weight I was overjoyed at the doctor when I found out now I weighed in at 267.
Then I had a guest come in and she was nice enough, really pretty, skinny, the whole package. After her meal, I offered double stuffed deep fried oreos for dessert (my personal kryptonite, I've stayed away for 3 months straight now!) And when she declined, I recommended the shop next door, saying, "I'm not a big fan of super sugary desserts anymore, but their cookie dough is pretty good! Closer to an icing consistency, though, but well worth a visit, even if only to sample and try a milkshake on this hot day!"
She sneered at me and gestured at my physique saying, "I'm sure you visit and know ALL about that cookie dough." After rolling her eyes when I said I'm not a big fan of super sugary food. Like did the disapproving look, said, "sure you do" and everything.
It's not a good feeling to be so belittled after coming so far. I'm kind of disheartened and took a hit to my confidence just because of some rude lady. Why do people feel the need to comment when they have no idea what you've done and gone through?
