Today is attempt #2 to find a psychiatrist - wish me luck! I'm still in the pain I was in yesterday so I opted to sleep through my fitness classes when I went to bed last night. I think that was the right call. Especially because I'm marching for sci

Happy Thursday! I think I forgot to mention this yesterday but I saw my PCP on Tuesday for my Vyvanse follow-up and she was awesome, no mention of weening me off it like she had mentioned before. So I was panicked for nothing I guess! She also asked

Sometimes being an anatomy student isn't great :P Today we were talking about blood and my prof stated that people undergoing surgery should donate their own blood pre-op in case they need a transfusion. I asked for clarification of this after class

I'm in the home stretch for the week. That's how Wednesday works, right? I had intended to come home after school (via a brief grocery trip for dinner supplies) but I think I'll be spending the afternoon in the library instead so I can make some good

Happy Tuesday! My exam yesterday went well, although I have no idea how. I guess I remember more of this stuff than I give myself credit for. I'll take it. Today I've got running, class, and then a med follow-up with my PCP that I'm nervous about.

Happy Monday! I had a super exhausting weekend and didn't get to study at all for my anatomy exam this morning, so I'm posting this really quickly and then getting back to my flashcards. Yikes! I've got two exams and two papers due this week, but on

It's the weekend!! I'm up super early because my bff and I are driving up to New York to see Nail Gaiman speak this evening. We're picking my nephew up en route, since he's spending Spring Break with my mom. Fun and excitement!

My eating w

Today is a very important anniversary in my life! Two years ago I decided to go back to college. It's crazy to know that 730 days ago, I had no idea I'd be a college student again, but it's true. I woke up in the morning two years ago and thought "m

I've got 52 days until my first surgery. Not that I'm counting or anything. (Actually, there's an app for that.) I pretty much want to spend all day, every day, just reading the posts in this forum. (There are over 8000, I've made it through 200...

Good morning! I can't run this morning because the club that I stupidly agreed to help with has a meeting, but I'm hoping I might be able to run tomorrow since I'm also unable to run this weekend due to travel. We'll see!

I've been reading

Happy Wednesday! I think Spring is finally here. I'll celebrate with an allergy shot ;) I've actually got a pretty light day ahead of me - class in the morning (and no exams!), then a few quick errands and I'll be home for lunch. Granted I eat lunc

Good morning all! It's a gorgeous day here and I'm looking forward to getting out to run - especially since this is the only day this week I'll get to run due to scheduling! (I'm going away for the weekend to see Neil Gaiman speak - so excited!) Tod

It's Monday and I'm sort of prepared for my Anatomy exam. Fingers crossed! The weather is also going to be gorgeous this week which is great. I can't wait. Short skirts all week!

Since I have a ton of free time (LOL, not) I thought it made sense to read through the entirety of the Plastic Surgery Forum. I did this with the VSG forum (when I actually did have free time in my life) and it was hugely beneficial to me.

My plan today is to stay as distracted as possible, so I'm going out to see movies. All the movies! Gifted, Your Name., and Life (again, so my partner can see it). It should be a good day!

An unusual number of people have commented on how "skinny," "tiny," "small," etc. I am recently. The comments come in fits and spurts. There will be weeks/months with no comments and then WHAM, tons of comments.

And the first thought in my h

Here's hoping for a good day, although it got cold again which is super annoying! This morning I've got fitness classes and then a student association meeting. Afterward I'll study anatomy in the library until the evening when I'm going to a lecture/

Memory lane is savage this week. A year ago today we made the decision to stop treating for cure and to switch to palliative/hospice care for my dad. I had always figured that would be a hard choice to make, turned out that when the time came it was

Today I'll finally have time to start working on my next steps to ensure my Vyvanse prescription continues, since I'll finally be home during business hours to make phone calls after class! Yay! My body is pretty unhappy with me this morning - I ende

Happy Tuesday! I'm about to go out and run - it's in the 60s today so it's shorts and t-shirt weather! Then I'll head over to school and spend the rest of the day there. I've got class around noon and then I'm participating in a survey thing in the

I last bought a dress in July/August for my dad's memorial service. It was a size 12 from Dress Barn.

Today I had some free time on the way home from my Monday stuff, so I decided to swing by Dress Barn to try to find a dress for May - I've

I feel like I've made this post before, who knows, I might make it again in the future.

Sometimes I find myself getting really jealous when I read posts that say, "I lost all of my excess weight in a year!" And then see that this means they l

You are all going to be sick of me by then, if you're not already.

The downside to my plastic surgery scheduling is that I still have to concentrate on college for the next five weeks and this is more and more challenging as I get more and mo

Happy Monday! Busy day here but I might have time to treat myself to a DressBarn trip to try to find a dress for Hamilton in May :D I had bought a dress that I'd hoped to be able to wear by then, but it's a little too small and due to the cut, I doub

Yesterday was horrible. I was livid then and I'm still super angry when I think about it. I went to a psychiatrist for management of my BED - when I called to schedule I asked, specifically, if he was able to deal with eating disorders and Vyvanse.
