I always feel like I need to post something after travel. I suppose that's because I usually find myself with time on my hands to slow down and look around when I'm not at home trudging through my normal routine.
So, I spent some time with good friends over the weekend and I couldn't help but add another "oh" to my list of skinny people traits.
I don't know about you but when I eat it is a feast for the senses. I absolutely LOVE the smells, the textures, well... actually, everything about a meal. I enjoy the company, I enjoy the preparation... hell - I even don't mind cleaning up.
This weekend, I watched my extremely (as in, once hospitalized for anorexia) thin friend eat. She macerated her food. I mean truly mushed it in her mouth for minutes before she swallowed. She would take a bite, start chewing, push it to the side, have a whole conversation, move it to the other side and then swallow.
It was the weirdest thing I ever actually paid attention to. I could not stop staring. And I wanted to eat again so I could watch - to make sure I wasn't just making this shit up.
By the time I was done eating, she had probably taken about 5 bites. By the time I finished my beer, she had eaten about 1/3 of what was on her plate. Then, she said she was full. Then she wanted attention because she was "so full". Then, I wanted to throw up for her.
Even I think I'm being mean right now but PLEASE!!! Are you fucking kidding me? I realize she is as mental as me and on the opposite side of the spectrum.
Wait -whoa - I wonder if she watched me eat and was amazed at the form and finish?
Hmmm.
Skinny people don't eat
Skinny people eat very, very slow
