"I haven't eaten all day !!!" So today I was out grocery shopping for a family barbeque tomorrow. Unfortunately I went with my mother, who is morbidly obese - like, 5'4 and pushing 300lbs. I'm the same height and I shudder at the thought of being anywhere close to that big. Anyway! She actually agreed with me that we should buy healthier foods (fruits/veggie trays rather than 57 varieties of chips), because she's on some sort of "diet" for the summer? Who knows. This didn't stop her, though, from gazing longingly at every bag of beetus we passed by.  Okay I'll stop and get to the actual point of this post. As we're walking out, she's literally like "I know I should eat, but I haven't eaten for so long that nothing sounds good. Do you know what I mean?". Of course my first question is "When was the last time you ate?" She says, "Before muh dentist appointment. So like 12:30!" I had to stop myself from literally rolling my eyes. It was 7pm. I did, though, say "That's only like 7 hours", which apparently triggered her? She was like "that's like you going a while day at work without eating! reeeee!". The thought of skipping is so foreign to her. It's something I do almost every day. I regularly go 8-12 hours without eating and guess what? I don't die the moment my stomach starts rumbling. What an amazing concept. She says stuff like this all the time. I forget how strange a normal eating schedule is to beetus beats. It's really not that hard to stay fit, but I guess it takes too much effort to simply take care of your health.
