Anyone Ever Lie About You?

This is too frequent in my family. I am pretty sick of it too. I hate it when people who have nothing better to do with their time create lies or elaborate on stories just because they are bored, or have nothing better to do. So many idiot things have been said about me over the years. I talked about coming from a large family and it does have it's benefits sometimes, but the bad thing is you are always hearing stuff that just is not true about you or someone else in the family. I hear stories that are so incredibly far fetched that I hate to repeat it for fear it implants an idea into my readers heads that it COULD be true.

One such rumor that has flown insanely around my family is that I have an eating disorder. Oh yes. An aunt whose granddaughter I used to baby sit for actually once went around telling everyone in the family that I was bulimic. Ok. I am thin. I like to BE thin. I have never made myself throw up. Or do they realize that anorexia and bulimia are TWO different things? They were probably thinking it was anorexic because even if I did throw up, how the hell would they know? I even had this family telling people it is what caused my cancer. Seriously!!! My opinion was that just because they are all overweight they feel I can't be thin unless I am doing it by making myself puke or starve myself. It's not true. I love to eat. I do eat, but I also know how to control it if I see the scale creeping up. I learned it after many years of trying to keep my weight down. I was never really overweight but a little bigger than I am now. It hurts that others would believe it. That's what hurts the most. Not the lies themselves, but that people I care about would ever believe it. It's insane. I have made it known that anyone who says things about me like this are no friends of mine. If it were true, I'd deal with it. I am a fighter. I don't want to kill myself to be thin. Sorry! Oh and that's NOT the lie that's currently going around. That's just an example of previous lies. Ha!
