Question : I am a 30-year-old woman, working as a production operator in an industry for the past eight years. My twin sister has also been working for the same number of years, but as a clerical staff in the office of this industry. In the production line, we cannot frequently go to toilet. Whereas my sister has no such restrictions. For the past few years, I have been gradually becoming big-sized and over-weight. In fact, people have started calling me "fatty". My sister keeps slim. Both of us have been eating almost the same amount of our home-cooked food all the time. why should this be so ? Am I doing something wrong, and has my sister been doing it right ? Please correct my lifestyle if necessary. For your information, most of the girls working with me here have also become big-sized and fat.

Answer : You are a typical representative of all the girls working in the production lines of industries. Also, you make a typical example of all those who control their urinal pressures. Let us see what normally happens in this kind of industries.

A slim person joins in as a new staff. She has been slim essentially because she must have been urinating frequently, say once in two hours or so -- about 8 or 9 nine times in a day, all this while.

Now, after joining the industry, in order to avoid disruption of the production, she may not want to ease every now and then. At times, her Section Supervisor who often happens to be a male, may sarcastically inquire her if she is sick, and is she wants to take a day off. That might become the last time she leaves for toilet during work. From then on, she would learn from her colleagues (a)  not to drink much water as it would help her to stay back, and (b) to withhold her urinal pressure until tea break or lunchtime.

The sad part of the above situation would be that she may not find enough time to spend at the crowded toilet during such short breaks; or else, she has to sacrifice her tea, for the bell might ring as she comes out of the toilet. This would force her to control her urge even further.
