I don't know if he was grossed out by me, but my therapist didn't think much of the way I dressed and groomed myself. I always bathed and washed my hair, so I wasn't actually gross, I guess.
But after I gained weight, I didn't spend a lot of money on clothes. I never wore makeup, even before I gained weight. My nails aren't well manicured. I tend to just chop them off with clippers when they start annoying me. I often wear braids. Not the sophisticated kind but the little girl kind.
I honestly think he is now perplexed when I mention this. Over time he's gotten to see Dinah, not the fat, slovenly, ugly person in front of him.
