So going from the skinniest girl in the room to being one of the average-heavier girls changes how you view yourself. It's societal, it's our culture and even though I pride myself on being on feminism, I'm still human. But I'm getting better....
I recently visited my hometown of Toronto with Mr. Mallory [Back story: I have colitis and to make sure I didn't have a flare on this trip, I was liberal with the immodium. To say I was bloated is an understatement- more on this later]. After a particularly exciting day, we took the subway back to our temporary home. On the very crowded subway, a man looked at my belly and offered me his seat. He thought I was pregnant. So what did I do?
I took the seat of course! There has to be some benefit to having bloated colitis belly and extra poundage. If that means looking pregnant- well hey, free seat!
