>>genetically underweight

Wow, J. Never occurred to me. Predisposed to obesity I had, but this is interesting. Are you saying that you've remained so slim (to an extreme, perhaps) while having, in the past I presume, maintained the so-called/aforeVmentioned corporate diet? I've pretty much maintained a pristine diet for ages (two decades) - or since I could make my own food choices, and for a couple years there decided to become anorexic (which I am currently NOT despite the weighing in at whopping 75lbs at 5'8" - placing us in the same wrestling mat). When I got sick (microbial related/induced) it plunged without intention.

Where am I going here? I'm wondering if your previously described health issues might have something more to do with this underweight issue, or is your whole family "disgustingly underweight". (And hey, let's both avoid these self-deprecating thoughts - incidentally a trait we also share, apparently. They don't help any. We need to imagine our bodies as we wish them to be, convince ourselves that, given the power, we can (re)create them.)

Mind telling me more about your diet, prior and current? I find this whole genetically underweight thing fascinating for whatever reason.

Also tell me - how are you??
