Part 2: Depends


Hope, pride, and any modesty I had left were lost that day.  It triggered a change inside of me.  I was another step closer to a life changing decision.  Before, I could drastically change my life; I had more fighting to do.  With my pride already down the toilet, I decided it was time to depend on something more reliable than my elegant Victoria Secret underwear.  It was time for Depends.

Standing in line at the Walmart with my first package of size Small women’s Depends, my mind reminisced on the days I used to buy these for my grandma.  I hoped that’s what the cashier thought I was buying them for when the package came rolling up to the scanner.  Maybe the bottles of ensure along with the diapers would throw any thoughts that I was buying them for myself out by the wayside.  As I looked at my purchase, acting as nonchalant as possible, I couldn’t help but think that I was a 21 year old trapped in a sexy 70 year olds body.  This is my life now.  It’s official.  I’m a 21 year old, who wears diapers, trapped in a damn sexy 70 year olds body.

Once I returned my 70 year old intestines to the refuge that was my dorm room, I had to see the damage for myself.  As I exchanged my old life for my new life, I was surprised to feel how comfortable it was.  The commercials were right!  They look, fit, and feel just like real underwear!  Hahaha…Almost!  It actually wasn’t that bad.  No, they didn’t look, fit, or feel just like real underwear.  They looked like a diaper.  They fit like a diaper.  They felt like a diaper.  It really wasn’t that bad after a while, though, I told myself.  They were pretty comfortable, and I appreciated the extra junk in the trunk, since mine was quickly depleting from my drastic weight loss.  I could pull this off.  Besides, I didn’t buy them for their look, fit, or feel.  I bought them so I didn’t have to panic anymore.  I was covered.  Though wearing a diaper didn’t make me feel like the 21 year old I so desperately wanted to be, it did give me some of my life back.  They spared me from feeling warmth slither down my leg. I couldn’t help but depend on my depends.  I didn’t know it yet, but they were going to save me more than I expected.
