A guy that fixes our computers at work has just popped in a few minutes ago.
'Wow', he said when he saw me, 'you've lost a lot of weight! You look like one of those fashion models. What's your secret?'
'Oh, I just eat less', I answered, 'and I cycle a lot'.
Technically speaking, I told him the truth. I didn't feel the need to divulge what 'less' means.
Did I believe his words? Not really. But they made me feel a bit better about myself. Good enough to skip lunch, actually.
No gym this morning; instead, I exercised at home, while watching 'Supersize vs Superskinny'. I have a thing for this show. I especially like the moment when the doctor puts all the stuff that his patients eat in a giant tube. When I see the supersizers' food, a disgusting mix of sausage, fried noodles, white bread, refined meats, crisps, chips, greasy sauces, mayonnaise and fizzy drinks, I feel sick and can't even think about eating.
So, TV is not always bad for you.
I know this is super random.. but do you leave starving tips on "SkinnyGossip.com"? They have a Starving tip of the Day thing.. and some girl named Mal just recently posted a starving tip and I totally thought it was you for some reason.. Then again I'm sure there are a million Mals out there.. Just wondering..
ReplyDeleteAnd isn't that the best when people tell you that you've lost a lot of weight? I get kinda defensive though.. like oh, what? was I a heifer before or something? I dunno... I'm weird it's like I find the word fat in every compliment and every comment. I think I have a problem.
Yup, it was me - I love SkinnyGossip.com, it's amazing, and Skinny Gurl has no mercy on stars who've gone from fab to flab.
ReplyDeleteAnd about the compliments, when you don't like yourself, it's quite hard to believe that someone else does. That might explain why you get defensive. Plus, complimenting an eating disordered person is a minefield, isn't it? For someone with no food-related problems there would be nothing wrong with "You look healthy". To me, "healthy" sounds a lot like "big"...
