Overweight

You know that point in your life when that one thing that bothers you begins screaming in your ear? It's not as if it's been silent all along, but you've just conveniently muffled the sound until one day at some odd hour of the afternoon you suddenly realize that your life has become that problem! I've reached the point where I cannot see someone without first thinking that they would be thinking how terribly overweight I've become. To compound on that, I tend to avoid people I've known for a long time and places I used to normally go because I just hate to be seen like this. This is the moment of no return, the realization that complaining about it is just the tip of the iceberg of emotional damage being done and now... I can't ignore it. Walking around feeling constantly ashamed of oneself is akin to twisting a dagger slowly into the gut.
