I hate being able to feel the fat on my body. I absolutely hate it. Impatience. I think that's what's generally wrong with the world.

If only we were patient. The world, society, and myself has become addicted to immediacy.

Immediate gratification- and we will go to any lengths to have this. Even if it means jeopardizing our own bodies. Or ( Read more... )

These are the top two questions I've always wanted to find answers to, too ( ... )

yeah. i found i was kind of relieved when she told me she had an eating disorder, which is wrong on so many levels but it put my own mind at ease because of the food thing.
i dont plan on drinking at college, although it is a very social thing. I hate the social norms that always lurk around food/beer- ill probably just maintain it to fri/sat nights and keep it minimal. i need to focus on work anyway...

im going to the art institute of chicago! should be fun, are you headed off to college? / where are you from/where are you going?
lots of questionz! ah.

Same. I plan to go into pre-med AND liberal arts, so being distracted by beer and parties isn't a good idea, lol :P

Hahaa that sounds amazing. :D What are you gonna do there (...besides..err.. art)?

I live in Seattle, so I'll be applying to the University of Washington this year (I'm a senior). I'm actually filling out the application atm! Yeah, good work ethic:
LJ + college app = ACCEPTANCE LETTAAARRR!

Regarding the c/s, from what I learnt in biology, the only enzyme present in saliva is amylase, which breaks down starches into sugars. This would leave me to believe that if you were to eat starchy foods, you'd 'absorb' more of the calories than if it were a non-starchy food. The whole 'absorb' thing is kinda weird to me, as I can't possibly fathom calories being magically absorbed into the body through the mouth. My idea is that starchy foods will begin to be digested, but so long as you spit them out and wash your mouth out with water before swallowing the saliva, so as not to swallow any traces of digested starch, you'll be fine and the calories you take in will be negligible ( ... )
