"See, I knew how beautiful you were."

My father's best friend once said this about me, to my father:

"She's so beautiful and has such a pretty face. It's a shame she can't lose weight." 

I know this because my father then told me. 

A few years later, after I'd lost some weight, I ran into my father's best friend and he said, "See, I knew how beautiful you were." 

This made me feel terrible, because I felt like I'd only ever be good enough thin.

This was 20 years ago. To this day, I still feel the same way. No matter how beautiful a person I am or how good my heart is or even how pretty my face is, if my body isn't thin, I'm not good enough.
