Lately I've noticed an epidemic of sorts...people, even people who 'speak' for a living and should know better, are misusing the word literally.

A girl checking me out at the grocery store said, "I literally died!" during our brief conversation. I wanted to gently correct her, but I didn't. I just inwardly cringed and gathered my things.

I also can't stand the ridiculous overuse of "like" these days.

What are your grammar pet peeves?

Well, you must iterally HATE celebs like the Kardashians who misuse literally all the time. I hate when ppl say fishes or shrimps-- UGH!

I love the way I look! I still can't see myself as skinny. I probably never will. But I am wearing a size 6...at my height that is pretty thin. I weigh 160. Which again at my height is thin. I watch TV and see women who are thin and think to myself...I don't feel like them. I think I still carry some shame and insecurity, but that is my issue... People treat me normal now so I am not afraid, but I am not sure I will ever be normal. Maybe if my hair grows back...

Hey there,

I am 5'8 and 230 . Getting sleeved on Tuesday 10/30 in Mexico-- self pay. I am concerned I wont ever be 'normal' as well and dont want to get too skinny either. How long does it take to get to "normal"? How much hair have you lost? Any Vitamins, etc to take to avoid the hairloss?

BTW-- I'm in DC too .

I'm getting sleeved on 10/30 in Mexico with Dr. Kelly .. Going by myself.. terrified, but hopeful at the same time...

Good luck, everyone.
