Now, I'm a little chubby but I'm Native American/German/Jamaican (I kinda look Hispanic lol) so I never really get commented on on my weight. But I DO have HORRIBLE teeth. I mean I make a British bad teeth joke look bad. I have a sever Calcium Deficiency, am Lactose Intolerant AND I have Crohn's Disease.
The Calcium Deficiency makes my bones super weak and I've broken my right arm 4 times and my left 3. I've broke my toes and messed up my knees so bad that they pop out of place. None of this gets to me more than my teeth. I used to throw up a lot in High School before they diagnosed my Crohn's, certain foods would just make me vomit. I had Cranberry Juice at a friend's house once, and threw up on her couch! As you may know, Bile from your stomach can strip the Enamel from your teeth.
I work at a Petsmart in the Dog Grooming Salon, and I have to interact with people in order to check in their doggies for appointments. I'm a naturally happy person (despite years of abuse and neglect as a kid) so I can't help but to smile at people.
Some people will look at my teeth and cringe, others accuse me of being on drugs. The only thing I have ever taken is Doctor Prescribed medication and Marijuana (MEDICAL for the Crohn's Disease) so these are not things that effect my teeth. I am only 26 and eventually I'll have to get dentures. It sucks so much to know that.
I want to cry every time that someone looks at my teeth and cringes or asks about them, but I tell them honestly, I have a disease that makes me physically sick to my stomach, I have a problem digesting Calcium, AND I was so neglected as a child that I often didn't eat for days or go to the doctor unless someone else noticed I was sick or hurt and said something to my mom. I injured my knee and was limping around school and the house for 2 weeks before a teacher called home to ask my mom if I'd gone to the doctor yet, I got hit and yelled at and then taken to the doctor. After I explain this to people they usually accept my teeth issue but they still stare (they're only human after all).
Just hang in there! A LOT of Asian women are being delightfully plump nowadays. It's the introduction of Western foods and culture.
Besides, I have a bit of a thing for chubby Asian girls lol!
Sorry... Sen is a perv. My name IS after Master Roshi on DBZ after all. The Original Pervy Sage! hehe:D
