I lost my fascination for Tahiti ever since Cheyenne Brando.

I forgot that I was going to post my cholestorol levels.
They are 174 total level
LDL 98
HDL 50
From what I understand those are decent levels. All my other tests were
normal except for the glucose one which was slightly high so they are
going to do another one. It is possible that I might have pre-diabetes
which isnt surprising since diabetes runs in my family, I am
overweight, diabetes is very common for people with POSC, and sugar has
been something very difficult for me to remove from my diet so I eat
way too much of it.
It has left me thinking about a very big aspect of thin privilege. I
have a cousin who is not overweight and who was diagnosed with type 2
diabetes when she was in her early 30's. I have never heard a single
person blame her for that. No one has said, "she did that to herself
with her unhealthy lifestyle." Everyone reaction even behind her back
has been "what a shame to have that happen to her when she is so young"
I have a feeling that knowing my extended family, I will get different
treatment behind my back although, of course, no one will say anything
to my face. Part of that is the denial a lot of people in my family
have that diabetes is a hereditary disease.

I like to eat a couple of big macs before my glucose test *snort*
That isnt true of course, I dont like big macs. I like to eat cookies
before my tests.
