the skinny fat girl

Once upon a time I couldn't understand how the twig of a girl thought herself to be fat.  I laughed when I would hear her say she could feel herself getting fatter.  I have become what I have made fun of.  When you don't eat often, the meals you do eat can easily be seen.  It is like a snake eating a rabbit, you can see where the food is sitting.  It's not that I am actually gaining weight, and I know that, but it is that I can see the buldge where the food is sitting.  I don't like it.  When I was in the hospital, I knew I was skinny.  I could count every one of my ribs, my hips and colar bone stuck out.  Now I feel average.  Not that there is anything wrong with average, it is just a little difficult when I see the food sitting in my stomach.  I've come a long way, and I still have a long way to go.
