There may well be reasons someone is overweight. Multiple ACEs show a 46% increase in adult obesity. Recovering from surgery is not the place to have this conversation 😂

📢 Would also once again like to remind health professionals that yes, I have eyes and know I'm overweight. Yes, I have a brain and know how to eat healthily. My weight didn't cause my appendicitis so we do not need to discuss it.

Oh and you probably know this but just in case- when NTs say 'tell me the most/best/worst', they don't literally mean the actual most/best/worst 🤷, you don't have to rank all your experiences ever and make sure you haven't lied by sharing what might have been the second or third ;)

I think this is something that NT folk manage naturally- they'll reveal the relevant bits of themselves in each situation. But I needed it spelling out.

Not a snack, but a friend told me when I went to mine- everyone always says be yourself. You can't always do that. Just don't be someone you're not. As a ND person, I found this really clarifying- it's fine to only show parts of myself some of the time, I don't have to be entirely exposed.

A pack of those almonds in dark chocolate. And Urban Fruit mango and pineapple. I always take snacks to things as sometimes when meals aren't when I'm hungry I get ravenous late at night, plus all that peopleing makes me hungry.

In one of those strange quirks of life, last night I picked up E, my equivalent baby's small sibling, from that no-longer-small sibling's party. They'd befriended each other entirely outside of their parental influence.
Isn't that a bit nuts? And more than a bit cool?
