I grew up in Idaho, and volunteered at the Idaho Potato Expo as a kid. Baked potatoes are a way of life. So you can imagine my horror when I just discovered my roommate puts olives on her potatoes.
She insists this is entirely defensible.
I am horrified. Who is right?
I want to talk about what itโs like to claw yourself out from the depths of hell of an eating disorder relapse and become fat again, only to be told by family and medical providers that it seems like youโve now โwent to the other extreme.โ

Yet now that I've been self monitoring my blood pressure, surprise surprise, it's rarely measuring *above* 120/82.

Fat people don't need repeated warnings about how we are horrible. We need real, compassionate medical care. (Fin)
