Hello everyone,
From the book Choose Your Story, Change Your Life by Kindra Hall.
The level of detail Cori could recall was also shocking. “I remember, when we were older, being at that same cousin’s cabin and going out to a bar that has these amazing nachos. And I was like, ‘We should order the nachos!’ And skinny beautiful cousin said, ‘Yeah, I’m kind of like just watching what I eat.’ And I thought to myself, She weighs like five pounds, and she’s watching what she eats? And then I wondered if I should watch what I eat. So, instead of ordering the beer that I wanted, I ended up ordering like some sad vodka soda cocktail.”
She had bigger stories in there, too—stories about her father. “My sister and I have both struggled for as long as I can remember. Our dad was really unhealthy. He had a gastric bypass, had diabetes, had heart failure, and ended up ultimately passing away a couple of years ago. My mom never had any issues.” She smiles slightly as she glances upward in feigned exasperation and says for effect, “Why did we get those genes?!”
Does "My sister and I have both struggled" imply struggled with our weights, i.e. we both had weught problems?
Or could it imply some other health problems?
Thank you.
