Fellow law students think "starvation mode" is a thing...so disappointed So its finals right now, and I'm pretty stressed out and grumpy, currently struggling not to yell at annoying classmates. I generally slide into questionable diet habits around finals, but being a reasonable human being I realize that eating cookies for breakfast and skipping the gym isn't a very healthy thing to do, and I make up for bad decisions by compensating for them the next day.  I was in a class not paying attention to the failed-at-practice-small-fat-lawyer who is our professor, and I confided to my friend that I'd have to watch the rest of my sugar intake for the day because I'd had a couple oreos I grabbed out of the pantry this morning for breakfast, and that I might fast tomorrow because I've been eating too much sugar lately and it makes me feel sluggish/foggy-headed. Said friend got this really worried look on her face and (I shit you not) warned me that I shouldn't do that "because of starvation mode". The disappointing part is that this girl is about 120 lbs, in great shape, and has to keep a careful diet to control her Hoshimoto's. She's generally very knowledgable about health and fitness related stuff and the LAST person I'd expect to give in to fat logic.  The not surprising part is that the trailer-trash 250lb bad-blond-dye-job who sits at the table opposite us insisted on adding her two cents that I'm "Soooo tiny" and I should just "go ahead and eat the rest of the oreos!!". I'm like 125-130 and 5'6 :/ I'm not fucking tiny and I'm not going to binge eat a whole box of oreos to make this fugly cheap-eyeshadow-plastered toad feel better about herself.
