@DSRIGGS A fellow former detasseler here! My gosh, that was hard work. But I remember being so blown away with my paychecks. That was the only job an under-16-year old could get back then that paid at least minimum wage. It was more than triple my babysitting salary. Oh, those were the days.
@Munchkin That was an epic comment. I completely agree with what you've said -- we really are superhumans. And yet, I feel so sad that I feel as though I brought most of this on myself. If I had never dieted . . . If I had never dieted, I would probably be on the large side of average. Or the average side of large. But, would I be morbidly obese? I really believe I hurt myself irrevocably every time I chose to do my favorite grape juice diet. I look at pictures of myself my freshman year in high school, and I can't believe how "normal" I was. Of course, I felt huge, but I really, really wasn't.
Anyway, this isn't about me, but I appreciate you asking this question
@galaxygrrl. Post-op eating is a topic I wonder about a lot, too.
