I was gaining a ton of weight in my last area. The members that would feed us always seemed to give me more food than my companion. But I didn’t want to be rude so I ate literally every grain of rice from my plate. Finally I could t take it anymore and I told one family I could not accept seconds or thirds because my clothes weren’t fitting anymore. To my surprise they burst out laughing. The entire ward couldn’t believe that I could fit so much food in my stomach, that they all wanted to see how far they could push me and see how much I could eat without saying anything. The whole ward laughed their heads off when I found out. And they called me gorda. For a very long time...
