It has not been a good week for the ol' self-esteem.
1. A regular visitor to our hotel, an 85 year old lady, told me that when she was young she could eat whatever she wanted and not gain weight. "But you're what we used to call 'well-covered'", she told me. "If you fell, you'd bounce!"
HAR HAR HAR. Gosh, aren't you amusing.
2. One of my new doctors told me that although my BMI of 24 is technically within the okay range, he suspects I have a higher ratio of visceral to subcutaneous fat... and any visceral fat whatsoever will exacerbate my endocrine issues. SO... I must lose about 20 pounds. GREAT. JUST GREAT. I'm already a vegan who eats almost no processed food, I exercise quite a lot, and you know I have endocrine issues that slow down my metabolism — plus you are sitting there prescribing me medication that you've just said will increase my appetite — and you want me to lose 20 pounds? Oh, this will end well. Thanks, doc. Thanks a lot.
