Can I help you with anything?\u2019 \u2018As it so happens you can.\u2019 I take her arm to lead her across the hall back to my room, and in the process drop my towel and flash my boobs at her.<\/p>\n<p>She pretends she hasn\u2019t seen \u2014 though given the size of my boobs, it\u2019s entirely likely I have flashed the entire villa. \u2018Oh ~ God,\u2019 I say, scrambling with the towel. \u2018I\u2019m so sorry. Listen, I know we only met yesterday and that we barely know each other. But I need you to help me put my sports bra on. You know those Victorian corsets that they have in those period dramas?\u2019 Jo nods. \u2018Well it\u2019s a bit like that, and I\u2019m having a wee bit of trouble getting it on.<\/p>\n<p>You\u2019re the only person I feel comfortable enough with to ask to help me into it.\u2019 Jo nods again and follows me to my room. I pick up the sports bra and her eyes widen in &#8230; what, exactly? Shock? Horror? Wonder? It is a feat of engi- neering to marvel the pyramids and Stonehenge. \u2018OK, we can do this,\u2019 she says, a look of pure concentration on her face.<\/p>\n<p>I flop my boobs into the bra, wriggle around so nothing is hanging out, and hold each side of the fastenings in the hope she can get them together. \u2018OK. Breathe in,\u2019 she says. \u2018One, two\u2014\u2019 Eat, Drink, Run. \u2018And you&#8217;re in!\u2019 As I stand and look in the mirror, I realise it is quite possible that my bra is actually obstructing my airways. \u2018It\u2019s&#8230; cute,\u2019 Jo says kindly, although we both know that \u2018cute\u2019 is no way to describe the material monstrosity that appears to cover me from my neck to my ribs.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018If this was PVC I could totally wear it to Torture Garden,\u2019 I manage to breathe. \u2018I don\u2019t like the sound of Torture Garden,\u2019 says Jo. \u2018But I think this bra\u2019 \u2014 she is doing finger quota- tion marks as she says the word bra \u2014 \u2018will definitely do the trick when it comes to keeping you secure this week.\u2019 \u2018That\u2019s if I can actually breathe in it.\u2019 \u2018No pain, no gain!\u2019 chirrups Jo. It is not even 6.30 a.m., and already I feel like I have gone several rounds with Mike Tyson.<\/p>\n<p>My first task of the day is to have a weigh-in with Rick, who ushers me into a room and tells me to stand on a machine that looks like it belongs in an episode of Star Trek.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>A Decade of Chaos Mad Girl: A Happy Life With a Mixed-Up Mind Copyright \u00a9 2018 Bryony Gordon The right of Bryony Gordon to be identified as the Author of the Work has been asserted by her in accordance with the Copyright, Designs and Patents Act 1988.
