I miss having internet.

And this Xfinity pass is slow. D: So slow I can't make another topic easily. /made a coworker a huge meal as thanks for something he did

It is beautiful, and I can't even post it. Ffft.

And then on the other hand, I constantly have coworkers who think it appropriate to tell me to eat a sandwich.

Time for my personal anecdote:
I hate HAES with an ever-loving passion. I wasn't even that fat by most standards of HAES. I was just over 200lbs. Less than 20lbs away from morbidly obese at my height (5'2", female). Hell, I'm considered 'small fat' to the movement, actual term I was called. I was having heart palpitations since my super late teens to early 20s. So bad, I was put on a portable heart monitor multiple times. My actual diet itself was apparently so bad that I gave myself ulcers. I was vomiting blood. The 200lbs mark came after days of being able to hold down nothing. I couldn't even hold down sips of water. Had to go to the ER a few times over this.

Literally the only issues were my weight (heart) and general diet (ulcers). I gave up acids/spicy food for the ulcers. Doc didn't even mention my weight. Acids meant cutting out soda/etc. I was wary, and wanted the vomiting blood to go away, so I just stuck with regular unflavored, uncarbonated water. I didn't replace it with anything else for fear I'd mess up an agitate my stomach... No juices, carbonated water, coffee, veg smoothie, anything.

I lost 20lbs really damned quickly. I was so confused. How the fuck.

I googled it. Calories are a thing? Oh. The soda. I never drank diet. Ever. Ever. I had multiple sodas a day... Easily 550-800 calories worth during work shifts alone. Not to mention on way or at home. Or the juice! I drank so much cranberry juice! I never looked at sugar added, the calories, anything... I'd have the full jug while at work. Not for any health reason, I just really liked juice. But jesus.

I just kept up with it.

As I lost weight... My heart issue completely disappeared. I've not had an issue for nearing two years now. I've maintained my weight for over a year now, roughly in the same area.

The doc never mentioned that could help my heart. I did notice "Obesity" was added onto my medical issues at one point, but he never brought it up. Ever.

I actually had to ASK that get removed from my personal medical issues file before my surgery last year.

Nothing like a 105lb girl asking to have obesity removed from her file. My nurses were so confused.

But again. Nobody ever mentioned to me that trying to lose weight would have helped my heart problems. That my diet was the likely culprit to my ulcer issue (happened before). To change anything. I'd asked around, as my doc recently retired... He'd gotten complaints from patients for bringing it up. He tries not to unless absolutely necessary. And I mean, MAJOR complaints and upheavals, in a major hospital for the area. Wasn't good day.

I hate HAES. I feel like how the movement itself is pushing things is NOT healthy. It is making things worse. It is trying to make it okay to be WHATEVER size, and claim it is healthy, even if it clearly isn't. I know people who spout HAES, but can't get up a flight of stairs without getting extremely winded. One flight. Nothing wrong with them but their weight.

There are those with good points. A bit over, a bit under. It can vary person to person, yes. Muscle-y people are an outlier, yes. But that is a bit into semantics. But there is a point where you can't say Health At Every Size; if it is used to be saying HEALTH at EVERY size to mean Good health... No... No..

The movement itself is used to put that up to and including morbid obesity can be healthy. If you want to look it up, I'd... Avoid tumblr.


Yaaassss, delicious mushrooms. That hair is life.

Good luck! Remember, the pre-tests are to show and remind you what you should work on. Having any issues with a subject during the test? Touch up on it before the exam!

I was always good at taking tests, but just... Never did my homework.

Ever.

So my grades were mediocre.

Because I want more mushrooms (I need that hair/ear combo), I'm going to be posting a lot while I have this 24-hour internet pass. I sprung for the $7...

Tell me, Volties. What are your thoughts on HAES? HAES stands for the "Health At Every Size" movement

What do you think about this movement? Is it helpful, harmful? Is there health at every size? I'll wait to post my personal anecdote concerning it.

Brought up because I believe I'm about to get defriended on facebook.

We were talking about this exact thing at work today!

Woopsie, fixed.


I've had much worse living situations. xD

I, a net addict, haven't had internet since last Friday. And I wasn't even home then. It was supposed to be fixed today, but NOPE.

Thank you, complimentary hour pass from Xfinity. I'm probably gonna buy a fuckin' day pass after you are up.

My lease is up June 8th. I can't wait. e .e I still don't know if my apartment was entered on Tuesday or not. I don't trust them. I didn't get a notice. I only got one for TODAY because I called to check on Tuesday. And was told, ".... Noooooooooo.... Nobody today...." Come home to notice on my door with a typo suggesting they removed Tuesday from the original copy. "Will be in your apartment and Thursday, May 3rd".

I'm 'bout to leave out a damned note for the exterminator to sign off on when he enters. And ask if he came on Tuesday, May 1st. Fuck.

I would love a block feature... More of a preemptive strike for me than anything else due to a reoccuring stalking/harassment issue that kept creeping up on a previous website.

I didn't know there wasn't block system here.

I used to get extremely nauseated when I got hungry. It was to the point where I actually would begin to get sick/vomit if I wasn't constantly nibbling something.

Doctor prescribed me ondansetron for it, way back when. I'd had a different medical issue combining with this one to absolute kick my ass medically.

... I have major memory issues, so I actually can't place the timeline of when that happened. I think that was around the time I began vomiting blood.

... Get checked for ulcers.

One time, in band church camp...

We were ranged from late elementary school to early high school ages (I was oldest). One of the girls in our cabin dropped a monster.

It was so much it lifted outside of the toilet. There was no flushing that.

Can also add a small amount of grains to the soup (1/8th cup to 1/4th cup) to help absorb liquid. It'll cook inside the broth, absorbing the flavor and getting all yummy.

Yeeessss.

Downside; If there is even a single inconsiderate/loud person in the theater, it ruins it for everyone.

Imagine someone taking in a baby. Some theaters will let you do that. It would just... Ruin this particular movie. >___<
