^I'm almost the same height as you, and I'm skinny, too. I weigh 80 pounds on a good day.

I thought my depression was gone for the time being. Why, then, am I still tired all the time?

your ideal weight is 132#. can you stop your mom from starving you?

Must read books, but too distracted from Youtube and Reddit.

Oh, I thought it was about 120 pounds. My mom isn't starving me, she's just suggesting I go with lower-calorie options. My weight is where it is because of a high metabolism and small appetite.

Her concern is that she used to be about my size, but that definitely changed when her metabolism slowed down, and I think she's afraid the same will happen to me.

oops. it's actually 133#. women get 100# for the first five feet and add 6# per each additional inch. (men get 110# for first five feet, then same formula. learned it in training to become an MD.) she needn't worry until that time when your metabolism does slow. cutting calories in your current situation would likely be harmful.

I didn't know that about the weight. I don't remember where I got 120 from, but I thought that was about where my weight should be. I agree that it's a bit early for me to be worrying about having too many calories. I've tried logging my food intake for each day as part of a fitness tracker thing, and I don't remember exactly how many I got on average, but I do remember wondering how on Earth the average person would get in 2000 calories a day, because I wasn't even close to that. I just can't eat as much as it seems most people do in one sitting before my body refuses to swallow any more. But I feel perfectly healthy at my weight now - there was a while when I was feeling the effects of being underweight, so I know what to watch out for now.

Bleeding excessively, although not enough to actually affect me negatively, is not how I thought I would've spent the past 10 days...

i found out why the school asked parents not to clap during the graduation ceremony, when they were handing out diplomas.


it's not because of noise, or because otherwise the ceremony would be dragged out for far too long.


it was so the kids who didn't have anyone there for them wouldn't feel left out and ostracized.

Short screws, a screwdriver, newspapers, a ruler, short nails, a hammer, a damp rag, and some paint...

I'm a mess. I had another panic attack this morning and an asthma attack last night. Me and Mary got into it this morning and I only got about 3 hrs sleep. At this point in time, we have an appointment with the attorney tomorrow, but we haven't had a definite yes from him on if we even have a case or not. Why go to the meeting if he may not even think we have a case? I called and asked his secretary to let me know if we do or not so we know to come in or not. Why pay $250 just to be told NO?! I don't like all of this game playing. I know that lawyers need to get paid, but beating around the bush with me just makes me distrust him more.

I'm getting emails again from the management company about Board stuff, so I'm thinking they may have dropped the special meeting. I still need my name cleared. Mary is tired of the whole thing and wants it to be over. I don't get these people - she always has said that she wouldn't let anyone push her around and then when the crap hits the fan, she can't handle it. That's what I find about most people - they talk a lot, but that is all they do. When I say I'll do something, I follow through to the end. It's everyone else - they need to put up or shut up.

I just learned that The Irrelevant Show isn't going to be broadcasted anymore, and that the Rick Mercer Report is going to end in April. :(
