Today I went with my friend Meredith to see "Sunday in the Park with George"
When we were on the bus going home she saw a girl on flag outside a Karate school in a bikini. And she said "IF you take Karate you can look like her too". She clarified YOU as meaning people in general. I thought she meant I wasn't thin so I asked her and she said the following:
(1) You are on the thin side
(2) Yes you can accept the fact you are thin
(3) But first she said the above she said "You have a thin face" and I said to her "But I am thin every where" and she replied yes you are
(4) I have a friend that is thinner than us
(5) No one would ever call you fat
I asked her if I had made the remark about "If you do Karate you can look like her too" and she said she would have laughed.
When we got off the bus at Chevy Chase I said to her that people tell me I don't look like I eat and she said that she would not go that far. So I asked her what she meant and she said "you are not anorexic" I told I don't want to be"
I am over the part about the Karate. But I keep saying to myself if she just said "yes you are thin" then I would not have pursued it. But we were sitting on the bus and she said "you have a thin face" which made me feel as if she did not think I was thin all over, however, when I said I am thin all over she agreed. So help. But also getting off the bus I said that ppl tell me I dont look like I eat and she said "I wouldnt go that far" so I said "You mean I am not anorexic" and she said "Yes, you look healthy" and I asked her if she thinks she looks healthy and she said yes.
Also my cousin Beth told me today: No one would ever mistake you for being anything other than thin
When I told Meredith that everyone says I am skinny she replied: "Well it is better than every one telling you that you are fat"
Then two days later on the phone she confirmed that she thinks I am thin
