Chronic Laryngitis?
I think this originated from when I had Covid in June 2022. I lost my voice entirely for a couple of days, since that point my voice has deteriorated to the point that I’m barely able to speak.

As a 14 year old (5’5 at 120 lbs), I continued to think I was overweight because my mom told…

Here we go again
This time last year I was down 7kgs from August and now I’m back in the same spot I started.

Imagining Our Bodies as a Relational Construct: You and Me
You are not what I intended you to be. You are large and have layers of fat which I did anticipate. You don't fit into any of my nice clothes and you hurt when I move. Getting you in and out of chairs and sofas and cars; to say nothing of stairs and steps......well, let me just say that you remind me of how you have…
