ailbheAt the swimming pool, an acquaintance looked at me in my swimsuit and commented to the woman she was with, "Look at that - don't you just hate her? I'd love to be that thin."
I failed the politeness test. I said "It's easy, just get so sick you can't cope with your daily life. A serious virus. Lots of people find cancer works. YOU try being ill, I'll try being overweight." Then I went into the cubicle with my children and cried.
My eldest daughter asked if I get smaller will I still be able to lift them? Will I shrink to the size of a baby?
My youngest daughter said "No Mama cy, Mama, aw-ite Mama."
I apologised to them for crying. And I stayed locked in the cubicle until the women went away.

Date: 2008-09-24 10:38 pm (UTC)Due to my gallbladder being very infected I have recently been eating an extremely reduced diet and subsequently lost A LOT of weight in a very short period of time. I want to slap people who say "Ohhh, I wish I could!" or "Oh, that's not so bad!" as I was also exhausted and having attacks so painful I was throwing up and could not even eat dry bread without worrying it'd set me off.
I'm so sorry that woman said that to you.
