"Fat Ashlee"

When you are overweight you know that is the first thing people notice about you. I can't wait until that is not people's first impression of me.

I remember a few years ago, at one of my kids birthday parties someone told me how "funny" it was that her daughter called me "fat Ashlee." Totally ruined the day and I don't think I'll ever forget it. I was embarassed in front of a houseful of people, but what could I say? I was "fat Ashlee" and who could blame the kid for categorizing me that way?
