It's happening again... my condition has crept up on me again.

Last night, when I reported for work, a colleague asked me, 'Did you sleep at all?!' because my eyes were puffy and swollen.

I looked absolutely yucky. And yes, I did the dutiful thing by making sure I slept enough to be vigilant during the night shift, but my entire face is very obviously puffy now.

It's hard to live with a condition that makes you bloated, puffy and super-duper FAT off and on.

It's worse when people, sometimes total strangers, who don't know what's the real cause for my bui-ness, make comments.

Ah well, I've survived and I shall continue to survive.

Just wish there weren't that many shallow and judgemental folks here.

Days when it happens and I have to leave my house KNOWING that I'm at my ugliest and fattest, it really isn't easy.

Thank God for the close circle of friends I have who are supportive and understanding.
