Is Today Over Yet?

Wow, it is still the morning and I don't know if I will make all day at work. It's just all I can do to keep from crying this morning. Is it quitin' time yet?

I have this co-worker who is constantly making little comments here and there about my weight... um, well a tummy tuck (like hers) doesn't solve everyones problems. Why can't "normal" people understand what it's like to live in our bodies...?

Just looking in the mirror this morning took it out of me, and I knew it would be down hill for day!

Anyone out there today in the same boat?

I am in the same boat as you everyday! You are not alone. I too wish that people could understand how it feels living in this body from day to day. It sucks that there are such cruel people in this world. I try to find solace in the fact that those people who are making cruel remarks are probably suffering in some way too and fnd people like us to take their angers and frustrations out on, just to be able to prove to themselves in some way that they are better than us, or aren't "screwed up" too. It's not fair, but that seems to be the way this worlds works. I just wanted to let you know that you aren't alone and I struggle with the same problems you have each day. If you would like to ever talk my email is sunstarmoon777@homail.com.

Please try and fee better.

Just hearing from you guys helps make my day considerably better. Man... I don't know how I made it thru before these forums! Oh and I totally love the "stick insect", I am always stuck with those!!!!! LOL

I have to admit I was bad... you know, that cheeseburger was callin' my name. Sure I shouldn't of had it, but dang it... it made me feel somewhat better. I guess we all have those days!

Well, here's hoping tomorrow is better... maybe she (my vain coworker) will call in sick!!!

You are so right, this person is far from perfect! And it is true, I won't remember this in 10!

Yes, yes, yes! I have a co-worker just like that! She totally irritating, frustrating and eats the most junk I've ever seen. Banana splits for lunch. Disgusting, (not that she eats them but because she can

) I try to eat healthy and still am a hippo next to her. But, she had a daughter die in a wreck about a year ago, involving a drunk driver. Do I want to trade places with her? Not on your life. So, I try to remember that when she's being irritating...but it's really hard sometimes. I sure do understand the frustration, though. Although I don't wish her ill, it sure would be nice if she got a promotion and moved to another office..say in another building
