So we've run into a little problem with this whole "giving up laziness" thing. Now, before you start going judgemental on me it's not that i'm wanting to stop. That's not it at all actually. There are just complications.
This next Friday the 15 we're having a blood drive at our school. I really want to do it too. But, because of my weight...well, lets just say i don't fit the qualifications...
SOOOOO...i'm trying to gain weight, AND excercise at the same time. Can that work? I had a pasta dinner last night, i've had bread galore, sugar like none other, and The soda with the highest concentrate of sugar.
BUT...with my metabloism as high as it is, if i excercise at ALL all that potential weight goes away with the snap of a finger.
I realize that i shouldn't take this seemingly magical power for granted, but seriously? You people that think that us skinny people have it easy...think that we can eat anything we want, when we want, and excercise when we feel like it, don't realize how annoying it is when everyone is always reminding you how "good you have it". I feel like a selfish little girl when people frown upon me for having a fast metabolism. It's like they think i have control over how my body processes food. It makes me feel like crap being reminded how good i have it. Ironic, yes? I would rather be over weight than to make someone feel like THEY are overweight, when in reality they're only 10-20 lbs more than i am. It's ridiculous. So next time you look at your best friend in the dressing room and say with a sigh "I wish i was as skinny as you are", think again. The only thing that accomplishes is making your friend feel awkward and guilty for being the size she is. There's a fine line between complimenting and using a compliment to complain.
Maybe, instead say, "i like your figure" or "those pants fit you really well". Or if you can't think of anything nice to say...take a lesson from Thumper.
This was a weird blog.
P.S.
Here's a secret: You're not as big as you think you are. AND us "tiny people" almost never can tell the difference between someone wearing a size 2 or a size 8...or maybe thats just me?

Haha you're funny. I'm telling you. do nothing but ride a scooter around and eat nothing but caramel apples. I'll even buy them if that's what it takes.
sigh. us "bigger people than Jordan" still wish they were smaller. but I understand what you're saying. and hey...God's given me the metabolism I have...so I guess that's good...
keep writing!
love you.
