I hate BMI. I am working on losing weight, but I am gaining muscle at the same rate I’m losing fat, so my weight has hardly changed. None of my clothes fit anymore and I am much slimmer, but still considered obese. I’m not even weighing myself regularly at this point. I’m just going by how I look and feel and my clothes size.
People are surprised that I’m really good with horses. I’m a very short, timid person, but I can handle the huge animals with ease.
I shattered my ankle, separated my tibia and fibula, and broke a different part of my fibula. All in one moment. How, you ask? By stepping outside. My dog pulled too hard on her leash and I stumbled and twisted my ankle in just the right way. Got a fancy Maisonneuve fracture that had to be surgically fixed.
I like tilapia fried in garlic olive oil, roasted asparagus, and cous cous. I eat it at least 3x a week for lunch. It’s easy and cheap and freezes well.
I do meal prep once a week with my mom. We just get together at her place and cook like 10 or 12 meals and put them in containers and I freeze them. Cheaper than TV dinners and it’s easy lunch and dinner for the week.
I absolutely despise cooking, so taking the ingredients to my parents’ place forces me to cook. At my house, I can just procrastinate.
Wall of my parents’ tiny neighborhood and use it as a compound. They have major river access and there are plenty of big yards for agriculture. There’s also plenty of blue collar workers to do a lot of hands-on stuff. I’d be in charge of animal husbandry since I’m really good at it. My mom would do plants.

I don’t take it that way at all.
“Know your worth.”
I’ve struggled with self-worth my whole life and I’m finally taking a stand for myself both in my professional and personal life. It feels great tbh.
Any physical therapy/rehab centers under Select Medical. I worked in one of their regional offices processing insurance claims and was exposed to the grossest type of capitalism. Profit through healthcare.
I did my best to make claims take an insanely long time to fully process so the patients weren’t hit with their absurd bills right after they just got done with major medical issues. I kept one guy’s outrageous bill in limbo the entire 9 months I worked there. He was a local to my area and I knew by the info in the system that he could not afford those bills. I made sure he didn’t even see the bills the whole time I was at that job.
I had my ankle reconstructed a couple of years ago and I knew the bills were gonna be crazy. It took 4 months for me to get them and by that time I was already back to work. I like to think that someone was keeping my bills in limbo while I got back on my feet. I paid off the bills a little then lost track of it all and then decided that I’m just not paying medical shit unless I am forced to pay on the spot.
I was put on hydroxychloroquine a few months ago and it’s great, but having a formal diagnosis now is making it scary.
You’re good. I appreciate the advice. :)
My doctor has given me all sorts of info on it. I was looking for more first hand account kinds of things.
Thank you for the recommendations! I might see if the super fancy grocery store by my work has those olives. If they don’t, then I’ll try to find a middle eastern grocer. I don’t mind taking a minor road trip to find legit olives. I wanna know if I just don’t like the ones I’ve been exposed to.
So you’re saying that I need to travel to where olives are made?
I had geese once. It was awful lol
I mean, I like to do both lol. I spend most of my spare time with my pets, but sometimes I wanna do something for myself lol
These people have had the cops called on them for domestic disputes and have daily screaming matches. Also, like 15 mins after posting this, their car got repo’d and the mom lost her mind so bad that the cops came. I went to take my trash out and the cop motioned for me to go back inside as he called for backup
I am not doing that. I don’t want to make enemies of these folks. They’ve had the cops called on them by a different neighbor once already for a domestic dispute. I have no doubt that they own guns.
Holy shit that’s wild. Is BMI good for anything, then? Or does it need abandoned?
