At the hospital, wish me luck guys.

Good luck! Get better, fool!

That sounds super annoying. Are they over or underweight? Typically people who are unhappy with themselves tend to nitpick others. Even parents.

Mako - (if you're around here) feeling any better?

harpalyce - I saw the words "bless your heart" a few pages back....you are clearly southern even if you hadn't told me. XD

boogum - OMG! I understand this. I was anorexic before, now I try to eat...but like I try to balance it. And they don't get that. My mom makes my meals (b/c I"m forced to live at home and an AWFUL cook) sometimes and when she does - there go into discussions of why didn't i finish it? But then i'm like you made too much...=-=; and then it's like if i do i feel obligated to finish...and all that shit. i just want to move out if i could. ahh finances. I'm trying to lose weight healthily but that's hard. I have trouble balancing weight. Always have. Never been tiny. But my goal for the new year is no matter how i look - to embrace it and be happy w/ myself.

*HUGS*

I feel ya. Only I'm the opposite. How about I give you some of my weight? haha I've just stopped being as active but now that I'm back into coaching basketball, I'm playing with the girls and stuff so that helps. I just hate going to the gym. So boring.

I don't care how much or little I weigh, I just want to get back to being as tone as I was in high school. Bah college sucks. They don't call it "freshman 15" for no reason.

At least it's winter. I've got a while before I have to get bikini ready haha.

I tried to use the gym in college. Boring as all get out. Although, my roommate and I used the rock-wall a lot. That was fun. I've always loved climbing.

My mom has always been on my case about weight as well. I've never left the healthy weight range, although I have been at both ends of it. When I start gaining weight, she starts commenting on everything I eat, and when my weight gets too low, she starts warning me about not taking it too far. My mom is very skinny, but she's also very athletic. Her mom, my grandma, was horribly obese and had a lot of health problems because of it, so my mom is very conscious about weight.

It IS hard! I too hate the gym unless I'm WITH someone. Is that weird? I am easily bored...maybe I need to try and listen to audio books as much as I LOVE reading reading...b/c you can't always do that while exercising...but my headphones fall out. @@ I"d love to get into a sport again but I haven't since hs and urgh I'm so out of shape. Lol.

..I kind of wonder if I'm hitting the 'unhealthy level of obsession' when it comes to Avatar debate. I feel like I have to 'cling' to it all the time and frankly, it's exhausting. But then again that's what you happens when you try and understand 7+ years worth of shipping and ship war drama in a few short months..

I feel like I should back away from it and just make art, but I can't separate myself from it entirely. It kind of helps inform what I'm doing and makes it stronger. Do you guys have trouble with keeping a balance, too? IDEK..

[advocaat]

I started to have that problem a bit at one point, but now I've gotten used to separating my enjoyment of the series from the debate, for the most part.

I keep them in different parts of my mind.

edit: Hells yeah, Cid! Sit yer ass down and drink yer goddamn tea! Sherra, get the baby!

[advocaat]

Cid is very quotable. Although mine might be wrong, it's been a while.
