One day I was so sick of hearing "you look great blah blah" that I snapped and said "I only wish I felt great and looked like crap...I feel like crap every minute of every day!" Then I realized how awful that sounded and bust into tears. Needless to say it was the last time she commented..other than "how are you feeling...any better?"

I since have realized the right answer is..."starting to feel better but not nearly as well as I want to feel."
