Be careful....
I am not ready to talk about it yet but I was assaulted Friday night. I just wanted to say to you girls.... Hmmm, I don't know. we have been used to our weight being a protective cocoon around us that kept us from certain unwanted attention. Don't be naive and trust too easily. We are not viewed by the world the same and it makes us targets for some undesirables.
Trust me, a rape kit is not a fun test. Please use good judgement and do not make decisions based on how things used to be for us. With new looks comes new confidence and willingness to try new things. Also comes danger. Attention, sometimes unwanted. Sometimes wanted, but not to that extent. Sometimes people will take the great pride that you feel in your new look as an invitation. And they will leave you under a bridge alone half naked and hurt. And wondering where you went wrong.
I am lucky to see my children this night and kiss them goodnight. Really lucky. Don't learn this lesson the hard way.
