That's a good question. I think I might have used the wrong words when I posted 'changed my perspective' because I'm not completely sure what perspective I had of Cat, and I'm not sure if the perspective I have of Cat right now is the right one. Previiously I was leaning towards the point of view that Cat was crazy and also leaning towards the theory that this was some kind of weird game plan by her to destroy Lawson's chances in the game. Maybe both those theories are still true. I don't know. However last night when I saw the photo where she was fat I gained a new perspective on her.
After seeing the photo I think that Cat is a very insecure person. Body weight issues don't just dissapear even after you lost all those kilograms. I feel that she will always have issues with her body. I feel that she is very anxous, espically regarding her relationships. I think the talk she had with Lawson on the hamster wheel wasn't some kind of trick she was playing to get him to love her, but a sign of the guilt and the insecurity she was carrying for being having feelings for a taken man. Cat was very indecisive in that conversation, and clearly what Lawson said to her is something she didn't want to hear. But that isn't because of some crazy plan, but I have a theory that she feels that any rejection of her reminds her of the days where she was teased for being fat by the mean girls at school. Now I'm just guessing, like i'm doing for most of this post, in regards to thinking that Cat was fat back in high school. But she said she was teased by the mean girls. Maybe it was because of her book worm habits, but I'm thinking it was because of her weight issues.
I feel that Cat, like Lawson, likes to put on a facade that everything is all right when it actually is not. Maybe that's why she hates telling people she was only married for a year? Because she hates admitting failure? I'm not sure how much her marriage and divorce have affected her relationships, mainly because we don't know much about it. But you would have to say it obviously has affected her life quite a lot. To what extent we don't really know about. I think that her marriage and weight issues have heavily the person that Cat is today.
So yeah, any conversation Cat has, espically regarding Lawson, i'm going to look at the perspective of her being very insecure rather than her carrying out some plan to destroy the reputation of Lawson. You may have already come to that conclusion without reading this post, you may already think some of my theories are stupid and that i'm an idiot for posting them, but they are just theories, and the fact that we have very little to go on regarding Cat means that theories are all we have.
I would say she's insecure, but I'm not basing that on the photo, I just don't think a person who is confident and secure in themselves would pursue a person who is currently in a relationship - they would likely feel they are worth more than that. Unless of course they are arrogant douchebags who just don't give a shit about people.
I honestly don't look at that photo you posted and think "fat" though. She's bigger than she is in the house, for sure, but you can't see most of her body so it's hard to say just how big she is. I think you are reading too much into an old photo... unless of course there is something you are not telling us?
