"It seems biologically impossible to stay the same size... It seems one must always be either bigger or smaller than they were at some arbitrary point in time to which all things are compared. The panties are possibly tighter than they were. When? You can't say when. But you absolutely positive no question that it's true. It ruins your day. You get into bed that night with your husband, your lover, your friend, your boss, whoever, and roll over, facing the door, curled fetally into yourself. The hand snakes over to your side of the bed. You say, I'm tired, don't touch me, I have a headache, I feel sick, stop it, go away, leave me alone. Because you, in the course of the day, have ballooned to the size of a small hippo. You are sure of it, your skin is too tight, you wish to take it off, you're hot."
