re: That's not fat, that's happiness!

McMaster scientists have uncovered evidence that the gene FTO – the major genetic contributor to obesity – is associated with an eight per cent reduction in the risk of depression. In other words, it’s not just an obesity gene but a “happy gene” as well.

Lol

It's interesting because fat people tend to be more depressed. This would suggest that the internalization of fat stigma may counteract the "happy" genetic trait.

So the bump thing on my leg came to a head... I barely pressed near it and the stuff in it oozed out.. So I wiped it away and covered it in a nice thick layer of antibiotic ointment.....

Also, my lower belly hurts. -.-

It's not *that* bad. The redness on my belly is going away some.. Nowhere near as bright this morning. So I think the antibiotic is kicking in like it should. Also my thigh is still sore and still has a knot, but not as bad.. oh and the knot on my belly one has shrunk down too~
So no sad faces..

cellulitis.. dunno what caused it but it was hurting in that spot and on my thigh (which didn't get bad at all) for like 2 days before it suddenly turned evil...
I'll show ya what I mean by suddenly and evil..
From 5ish PM until around midnight or so the other night.. (in order..) I was taking pics of it at work as it got worse.. each one was about 2 hours after the last. (5:30, 7:10, 9 something, 10:45/11, and around midnight or so.. then the last is from when I got home. I woke up the next morning and the red had spread even farther (yesterday) It has since gotten less red and the knot on it is smaller, so that's good..)





and then today it looks like that other one.. so yeah, no idea what caused it. ><

Very much so.. I wish I had some control top undies.. Gravity pulling at it hurts more.. It's easier for me to move around if I hold it up...
