[QUOTE="DaisyFace, post: 248403, member: 6546"] Dazed-- I know exactly what you mean....I've done the same sort of thing myself. Long story short--I have had digestive issues for years...and as a result of constantly struggling with eating, I am very thin. For whatever reason, total strangers feel free to approach me in public and make comments about my weight and demand to know my "secret". A woman that I had never met in my life began to make such a scene about how great it would be if I could just give her the "magic formula" for being skinny...and I had had enough!! So I replied "[I]If you must know, I have a condition that makes it difficult to eat--Are you sure you'd like me to give it to you[/I]?". I never saw a woman look so embarassed, shocked, and ashamed--and I immediately felt bad that I said anything. But after all, I am not the one that was making insensitive comments that were none of her business to begin with!! Where is Miss Manners when we need her? --DaisyF [/QUOTE]
