Has anyone said anything about your body this week?

You do not have to have handled it well. Most of us do not. — asked by Jonah

InêsPorto, PT

It is recovering from a virus and doing so slowly, and I am trying to let it.

Stopped weighing myself in November and I have not once regretted it.

Hard question. I liked my body before as well, actually, and I am tired of the assumption that I did not.

I got dressed without a running commentary. First time in months.

5

TorrinAberdeen, UK

Strangers are being different with me and I hate it, and that is my honest answer.

Dara That comment would have stayed with me too.

My back held for a whole shift, which is the only thing I ask of it.

Somebody said I looked well and I could not work out where to put it, so I said thank you and changed the subject.

It swam. In February. In the sea. I did not think it had that in it.

NemoneLewes, UK

It carried the shopping up two flights. That is what I have got today.

Bryn M Sounds like a good GP. Hold onto them.

PippaTruro, UK

My back held for a whole shift, which is the only thing I ask of it.

8

KeeleyBlackpool, UK

Neutral. Genuinely neutral. It is a body, it is doing its job, I did not think about it much.

Prue I did exactly the same and felt awful about it. You have done nothing wrong.
