"You lost weight, you look so thin." If someone other than my grandmother would have said these words i would have been delighted (maybe actually believed them). However it's hard to rely on a judgment of a woman who once told me at the age of eighteen that i was an old maid. Besides these words were said with scorn, not as a compliment. When i pointed out to my grandmother that actually I've been feeling bloated (for like a week, damn period!) and gained weight from all the crap i've been eating (the chocolate has been sending me very special messages). She frowned and offered me something to eat (chocolate or ice cream). I grated my teeth and politely refused and then answered five more times that "i was not hungry. "
Oh the joys of living in the very near vicinity of your family.
