Thanks for listening to me, kid, it helped a lot. I needed to get that out of my system.
So yea, I got my 1st test result back and I would've likely had a heart attack by the time I was 20 if I kept eating the way I do. My cholesterol is 185 (for my age it should be around 160), only 59 of which is HDL (the good kind). It's higher than my dad's, who usually has high cholesterol. So now I'm no longer allowed to eat meals, only 5 small snacks a day, no more refined carbs, only occasional low/no-fat cheese and dairy products...I'm just really upset that it took this to make me stop my habit. I've been eating ridiculously like this for five years now--eating healthy stuff like vegetables and not a lot of meat, but then eating two times that in desserts, cakes, pancakes and whipped cream, etc. They told me I was fat, I saw the weight I was putting on (I don't ever want anyone ever again to say shuttup or tell me I'm not) and we always get into arguments about it and I try to eat healthy for a few days but then I'm just too lazy to continue...so I know that they tried to help me, I just hate myself for being so weak.
The only upside is that I am supposed to eat one or two marshmellows (1 big one DOES count for like 2 mini marshmellows, Meimsy! lol) after the last snack of the day b/c it apparently helps w/digestion. I don't get that at all, since it's like pure sugar, but I can deal w/that.
*sigh* Two more letters...
