People pass by and don't notice me they like to remove me from their vision men wouldn't see me nor talk to me I am not beautiful in their eyes I don't fit to the rules of what is accepted Still I am there You eat to much they say Do more sports they say Haha, you are fat, kids and teenager laugh at me they don't know how that hurts I didn't chose to be like that I was born with lipedema my body doesn't function like yours the energy cycle is broken it builds up fat, if I don't follow strong ketogen diet (no matter what and how much I eat) sport & diet won't remove fat (in most lipedema cases) only option is a surgery of course you have to pay for that by yourself so there are many women and sometimes men suffering from their own body suffering from the stupid words they had to hear (even from medical practitioners) with a broken body I could be your sister I could be the women or man living next door (you like to evade) I could be the radio moderator (you don't see him or her) I could be a professor in science I could be any women you have passed by on the street - unseen But you see the lipedema - allways and most will judge us cause of this, not knowing the slightest about us us people carrying that genetic burden --- Please read about lipedema on wikipedia.
