I love how "losing weight" is the magical cure for everything. Because that will happen so very quickly. "My house is flooding!" "Fixing that thin space in the shingles on the roof will fix that." "It's flooding now! Don't tell me about the freakin' roof, fix the situation now!"
I don't care if it is an orgy of death, there's still such a thing as a napkin.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
I was once 95 pounds with acid reflux so bad I thought I was having a heart attack and depression so bad I didn't get out of bed for a week. So, I know losing weight doesn't solve everything. It may help with some things, but it doesn't make everything magically better. Also, telling me I need to lose 5 lbs before I come back is always going to backfire with me because I have a stubborn streak that is more than happy to be self destructive. Why yes, Trader Joes I would like to buy all the things, thank you very much.

I would legit never go back, because fuck them. My doctor talks to me like I'm an adult with autonomy, not a misbehaving child. He's told me before that my blood pressure might go back to normal if I lost some weight, and then said, "That's just one option to keep in mind, though." I felt like he was giving me information I could take or leave. He's never *told* me to lose weight. I super lucked out with him.

Our wings are not tired.
Wow, sj. I hope the TJ's trip was very productive because the doctor's visit sucked. New doctor, STAT.

Yeah, the idea that there's a test you have to pass before you're allowed to get medical care...is bullshit.

Because ultimatums are not the sign of a good, competent doctor who has any other ideas other than "lose weight and stop bothering me."

ltc has figured out how to get her shirt off right in time for Winter. She is very proud of herself.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
The girl is clearly a genius!

I realize that eating Reese's pieces is not a solution to all of my problems, and yet.
