Part of the Herd

The article said the actress didn’t have an eating disorder, well at least it said that her family “said” she didn’t have an eating disorder.  I doubt it.  Don’t most of us women have an eating disorder?  If we are honest about it?  I know I do have one but it’s not like I’m endangering myself.  I’m just obsessed with what goes into my body and what it does to it. I do unhealthy things sometimes to lose weight and I feel as if I’m  like just about every female out there. I want to be thin.

The article said she weighed 115 lbs, but she looked like she weighed a lot less.  115 is around my weight and I look nothing like that, so I’m skeptical about the truth of  her numbers.  Her height is less than mine so that’s not it.  I’ve weighed less than that and I still didn’t look as thin as she did.  I don’t see the shame in admitting she had a thing about being thin.  Most people don’t naturally look like that, some do, but most not.  2 of my sisters used to get made fun of because they were so skinny. One would eat huge bowls of ice cream trying to gain weight to no avail; the other was ridiculous and still is about food.  She probably does have an eating disorder.  I don’t think either one has an attractive body, but then they think I’m fat…even though I weigh about the same as an actress accused of being too thin…you can’t win.  It’s just a difference they chose to try and make me feel bad about myself.  I don’t look like a skeleton dressed in  a garment, but I feel thinner than most people around me when I’m out.  It’s not a surprise that I haven’t spoken to either for over 3 years. 

All of this has nothing to do with the reason I was going to write here; after much contemplation, I got some filler injections today.  It ended up costing a whole lot more than what I expected.  A lot more than my initial consultation.  Ahh, well, that’s life right?  I thought I would get Juvederm but this doctor wasn’t the same doctor who did my consultation, even though it was the same practice;  he injected Perlane, which I’ve never heard of.  Initially I’m very happy with how it looks.  I have a little bruising but it is much less than what I thought it would be.  I didn’t feel self- conscience riding the subway afterward and didn’t think anyone was staring like I had been in an accident or knew I had injections.  I even stopped at the store for a few things on my way home.   I’m just a little sore.  I like the results, very cute.
