Trigger: Packing for a week in Jersey with the in-laws. Trying on funeral-appropriate dress clothes in case of grandparent departure. Finding a skirt which didn't fit in the autumn now fits. (The skirt was too small around the waist before).
Belief: "Well, shit. I must have really gotten chubby. Chubster. Chubby chubster fatty."
Action: Stare in mirror and wonder, "How fat am I still? I'm probably still chubby and just can't see it. Hunh. That... sucks."
Departure from reality: Achieved.
Awesome.
I've been up to that too. Monday, I'm fat. Tuesday, I'm thin, Wednesday, I'm obese. Thursday, have I lost weight? Since no one else seems to notice this yo-yo, I can only assume it's the BDD talking.
ReplyDeleteHey! I'v jsut leaned about BDD. had to google it. Hooray for my Y chromasome: vaccination against BDD.
ReplyDeleteLook at that typing:
ReplyDelete"I'v", "jsut" and "leaned"
Man. Fingers like demented sausages.
You'd think it would be, but alas, no. Just as there is a portion of the anorexic community which is male, there is a percentage of the BDD, BN and compulsive eating communities that is also male. A male in my immediate family is living proof, sadly. No fun, no fun.
ReplyDeleteWell if you would stop SLICING THEM OFF WITH CHAINSAWS.

ReplyDeleteNow, that's the down side of having a Y chromosome. A bet there aren't many women thick enough to do that.
fek I've just seen that I mispelled "chromosome" in that other post too.
utter fail.
