Book Commercials & Misanthropic Observations

I’m coming out FOR Barbie

I know, I know, she ruins girl’s self esteem. Barbie has singlehandedly caused eating disorders and body image issues…. Blah blah. I’ve said it all myself.

You know what else causes eating disorders? Vestibular spasticity – really, look it up. I threw up for years, and it was not because I wanted to look like Barbie. Mostly, I was just nauseous all the time, unless my stomach was empty. Now they have vagus nerve and/or stomach pacemakers for girls like I was, that controls the nausea. Thank you, western medicine! (P.S. parents: seriously look into this- I wasn’t trying to be skinny. Your daughter may be in the same boat.)

I still struggle with this, which is why you see me eating Cheezits all the time, they settle my stomach, AND Mendota springs water helps me belch.

Well, that was a completely different topic than I started with. I’m still for Barbie, but best to keep blogs short and sweet. I’ll come back to this again later.
