they fit on the tips of your fingers!! thats amazing.
also, carrots (if you use your imagination a lot) can be like potato chips .... bc they are crunchy.
these are what i tell myself while eating healthier foods until i get used to eating healthy again. this morning, i passed by the mcdonalds and burger king and actually was not craving it. i just did not want to eat greasy food. so that is such a good sign. i feel like i am over the addictive attraction of fast food now.
i'm watching frontline: the medicated child. ugh. these kids are diagnosed as bipolar or add and automatically given three different medications. to stop things like lack of impulse control, rapid mood swings, irritability, etc ... (like what kid has never had a temper tantrum or impulse control problems??). and then it seems as if they are just given more and more medicine to cancel out the effects of the original medicines.
i'm sure bipolar and add are definitely overdiagnosed. (especially after reading complication by atul gawande ... he is a surgeon and the book describes how residents turn into surgeons. atul gawande says that if you've seen a patient with one problem, just by human nature you will use that past experience and diagnose future patients with that same problem ... )

A) There are certain things I refuse to do for my diet. Eat carrots, ever, is one of them. I hate raw carrots. I also refuse to exclude a slice of pepperjack cheese from my lunch sammich. Instead I make up for those calories elsewhere.
B) I wonder if it ever occurs to parents that their children are simply having natural reactions to the chaos in their lives? If they aren't from broken homes, then they are under immense amounts of pressure from their parents who think their worth is measured by the success of their poor kids. Man, I'm glad I'm not growing up these days. And I'm not that old!!
