When the board ate all of the old posts, it ate many of my favorite threads. I remembered this post one day when I was trying on clothes at a store, and emailed Claire to ask if she still had it and could repost it. But she didn't. I found a copy that I had saved of it and with Ickle's permission I'm reposting it. Thanks :hugonClaire:hugoff for such an awesome thread...


my apology to the fashion bosses (sarcasm)

A FISHY!

:trigger - if u take it the wrong way...like my sodding b/f.....neways yeah people over on the a/b recovery board liked this so i thought i'd bring it over here too n share the happiness lol. enjoy :fishyies!
ok this is meant to be a joke; it's a bit of a vent i wrote earlier when i was starving starving starving n on my third day off school in a row because i couldn't face watching people eat . it's not meant to be taken seriously...quite the opposite. please read n laugh.....

to whom it may concern,
i just thought i should apologise. you know, for being built wrongly. obviously ten fingers and toes, four limbs, working organs and senses aren't enough. i didn't realise that a perfect baby in the last century had to be born with genes that would give her the body of a malnourished child with DD breasts come puberty. my apologies for not fitting the 'perfect' xx-xx-xx. please do forgive me for having tits, stomach and ass that's just one curve after another. lord knows i've tried to fit ur ideal of a curvless body, barren. my apologies for continuing to menstruate - i know that the shop mannequins u display so proudly as perfection wouldn't be able to, if plastic was made flesh. sorry i can't count my ribs, and the discs in my spine through my skin. and most of all - and i'm sorry to say this - i apologise for feeding into ur hype for the past six years. for every last day i've spent counting calories, ever hour sweating down the gym when i could've been doing something worthwhile, every tear i've shed because i didn't get born looking like Barbie. speaking of the plastic monstrosity, i apologise for the fact that i have a decent brain and am not afraid to use it; that while, with enough stress, anyone can be thin, i can aspire to more than giving another generation of men and women all the fuel they need to develop an ED before they hit puberty.

size [normal]
weight [normal]
and the i put my pen down, had a bit of chocolate, and went down the gym. where i only did half my normal (compulsive overexercising non-purging bulimic) workout, came home, had another bit of chocolate, tried on several different dresses and logged on. instead of starving myself n going down the gym for three hours straight. god i'm sarky when i'm pissed at the world.....
