Anorexic Algebra 101
There’s apparently an iPhone application for everything, even counting calories. Not that I’m not one of those trendy fuckers who owns an iPhone, but Emaciated Lady works with someone who does. Now she’s using this person’s iPhone application and an Excel spreadsheet to help keep her calorie consumption in check. While this might make Steve Jobs and Bill Gates proud, I have to be honest – I’m disappointed. Any anorexic worth her salt can perform even the most complicated calorie calculations in her head. In fact, I’m pretty sure that high mathematical aptitude is a prerequisite for anorexia.
So, Emaciated Lady, maybe you should go back to school. Then you won’t need a spreadsheet to tell you that you’re 148 calories over your daily allotment.

I’m terrible at math. I know. I’m a fraud.
i hate math…but somehow i can still juggle those calorie counts…
-tangent i am visiting my parents…both sick-my extended family of relatives were up the other day…
Skinny Aunt to me “You’re getting too skinny”
Ha…hahahahah…if only it were so. She hasn’t seen my giand muffin top, among other things…sorry, too graphic…??
Tracy, there is no such thing as “too graphic” on this site.
when i’m not at work being a glamourous madame, or at home progressive and liberated mother of two, i spend my time literally stunning others into shocked silence with displays of mathematical genius…

Emacited Lady you are too sweet….thanks!
HAHAHA! I have always sucked at all math except for amything “ed” related. even had what I called “Practical Applications” I Like when inpatient if I the doctor let slip I needed to gain 10% of my weight to be discharged, I would literally calculate how much I would gain, how much they would force feed me and how long before I could lose it after discharge in about 2 minutes.
