To be honest...

...sometimes its harder to do the right thing by yourself as it is by others. This week I have a PA who is obese and deeply unhappy. Being so overweight is an issue in this job - I can't really move much, so the PA needs to be able to move a lot to compensate. But what's really struck me is how much, when they are doing personal care for me, I describe myself as fat or lardy. I'm not doing so this week, as it would be very insensitive. And really I'm neither - I'm probably a bit overweight, and am very saggy through my disability, but am not really that big or bad. So now if I can get out of the put down habit she will definitely have done me a favour....
