Daniel, you probably already know this, but if you have sleep apnea, getting it treated should do good things for your metabolism, heart, energy level, etc. And losing weight helps reduce the sleep apnea, which helps you lose weight, and so on.

I had a psychiatrist I was seeing for ADD evaluation write in his exam notes, "[smonster], an extremely attractive 31 yo who is slightly overweight..." Ummm, eff you, dude. That and the fact that he asked me why such a pretty girl like me wasn't married yet meant that I never went back. And my GP isn't going to refer anyone else to him. Whoot!

Rugby and bellydancing have done wonders to banish the BIDs. I think I feel better about my body now than when I weighed 30 lbs less. I do miss having more muscle. Need to get back in the gym for that, which I've been saying for years.

In sugary treat preferences, I loved Devil Dogs and, once moving down south, Moon Pies. The latter preferably microwaved. Le yum.

IOmememeN, coffee + ADD meds = v. twitchy smonster. I know this, and yet I combine them anyway. I'm actually at work b/c I didn't get stuff done that I needed to during the week, blecch.

"[smonster], an extremely attractive 31 yo who is SUPER YUMMY..."

Fixed.

Hee. Ta, Sean. He was such a skeeze. I'm just glad that my awesome lesbo GP was as horrified as I was.

"[smonster], an extremely attractive 31 yo who is SUPER YUMMY..."

"[smonster], a 31 yo woman whose physical appearance it would be entirely unprofessional for me to remark upon unless and until it becomes relevant to treatment ..."

When I was at a psychologist for an ADD evaluation, I told him that I'm in math, and he said, "That's interesting. You don't see too many white women in math. Most women in math are Asian. And do you know why? They get their periods later, and so their mathematical ability keeps developing for longer. You must have gotten your period much later than your friends, right?" Me: "I was eleven."

Never went back to him.

QUACKS!

Good lord. I'm suddenly amazed that I made it through my ADD evaluation without encountering any galloping sexism.

I've been thinking about seeing a talky meat person, but I'm afraid of who I'll get in this bastion of "married at 19, three kids by 25". I don't know if anyone around here has the frame of reference to cope with me.

Susan W, I need to go on a course like that I think. I'm supposed to be writing a musical puppet show right now. Instead I'm on the interwebs wasting time. It's terrifying.

"[smonster], a 31 yo woman whose physical appearance it would be entirely unprofessional for me to remark upon unless and until it becomes relevant to treatment ..."

Yeppers.

Hil, omg. I boggle and @@.

My sis had had a bad experience with the same doc years earlier, though no one remembers exactly what happened.

I love my talky meat therapist. He looks and talks just like Clinton from What Not to Wear, if he were a therapist.

Most unprofessional doc I ever had? A GP who tried to sell me makeup 30 sec after (SERIOUS TMI) her finger was up my, uh, butt. And I was very much in my soft butch "I don't *wear* makeup" stage. This is the same dimwit who years later refused to perform STI tests on my sis and sent her to County Health. Unethical cretin.

haha whoops. spoiler font only works if you actually type the s.
