"You should stand up straight so that your tummy won't be so obvious."

"Wahh... your life in UK very good ar? Eat until so round!"

"Why you pick this size?? Cannot lah.. pick one size up!"

"Fat? Exercise more loh. Eat less."

"Wow mei you put on quite a bit of weight huh? *giggle*"

Dear thyroid,

Thanks for putting me through this. I really can't thank you enough. People think it's easy just shedding off the kilos by eating less and exercising more, but what do they know? They should try going hypothyroid and experience for themselves. Everything I've worked for is down the drain, but what can I do? It's you, my dear thyroid, it's you that controls the shape of my body. You are the one that's controlling my life now.

I look into the mirror and hate what I see. I hate it more that people are poking fun at my weight. I don't like going to church on Sundays now, the aunties have too much to say. My racer backs and low riders don't fit anymore.

I'm officially telling you - I surrender. I don't give a crap anymore. I'm eating that maggi goreng in Murni's tonight.

Stupid thyroid.
