The reason I am so skinny is because of my overactive immune system. When I’m sick I eat for sustenance - not taste. I’ll eat until I’m full, and then stop. I also tend to avoid fried/cheese foodstuffs because the grease makes me feel worse. Fresh veggies and fruit = more energy to keep sick Athena going. Now considering that I’m sick for 4-7 months out of the year, be it allergies, flu, cold, strep, mono, or period nonsense,  I never get a chance to accumulate mass. This means that I’m always close to my body’s “ideal weight.” Toss in the fact that I hold onto muscle mass for months after I stop lifting, and you’ve got my body explained.

I sometimes wonder if I would trade my easy to maintain weight with the chance to be healthy all the time. I’ve woken up every morning for the past two months and taken some combination of Zyrtex, Ibuprofen/acetaminophen, Sudafed, and Dayquill - which seem to do nothing for my symptoms. It’d be so nice to wake up and breath in the morning, swallow without pain in the back of my throat, not feel the pain from constant pulsing headaches. Hell. A lot of girls would kill to be in my situation. Skinny without trying! So fantastic. Yeah right.
