i look bloated 90% of my time. none of my clothes fit. they are all too tight around the tummy area. the bad part is that i am unemployed so i can not afford to spend on this now. but i wish i could get rid of it. i always have been super skinny and i also have done a lot of modeling which now i feel stupid. and now people look at me like if i got fat. it annoys me sometimes and i just don't want to get into it and explain, but it makes me feel pretty bad.
