oh, man

Not posted in the person's journal whose entry inspired it, but it's no
secret I feel this way, so I'm not locking it:

If your reaction to being ill, and having your medication give you the
side effect of no appetite, is to be happy you're losing weight, *and to
hope it continues*, there is something wrong. This is not healthy. This
is not good.

*sigh*

I used to say "I call it the 'dangerously underweight through overwork' diet." Or sometimes "I got this thin by doing your job while you skive off. Try it."

Because at the point when most people congratulated me on my slender, willowlike appearance, I weighed over 15% less than I should have done. People are fucked up.
