Not posted in the person's journal whose entry inspired it, but it's no
secret I feel this way, so I'm not locking it:
If your reaction to being ill, and having your medication give you the
side effect of no appetite, is to be happy you're losing weight, *and to
hope it continues*, there is something wrong. This is not healthy. This
is not good.
*sigh*

Re: Well....
Date: 2006-07-13 10:47 pm (UTC)Relatedly, currently having a lot of emotional trouble with the bulgy abdomen resulting from transplant, though not as much trouble because it's easier to hide and doesn't (at least!) indicate lack of health (whta tlittle health I can cling to these days, anyway)
Having been very thin and pretty heavy, I do notice most people treat me more nicely on average when I'm not heavy... some of the distress is based on that. Easy to say I shouldn't be around such people, but harder to implement in RL, as so many folks do realize.
It's no wonder it's a sensitive subject for just about everyone :(
