Ok, I know I just Very Recently told you guys that I was at peace with my mum and her diets, but yesterday something happened.
I have a problem with my bones, see. I'm verging on osteoporosis, which is infuriating, because I'm a teenager.
So I don't have substantial bones. And without bones we are just shapeless blobs.

Anyway, I've been taking supplements, and it's all good, right?
Apparently not.
My mum has read a chapter in her book on Calcium, and reakons that my supplements are actually doing the opposite, switching off all the hormones in my body that recognise Calcium, because there is so much of it.

So she wants me to read the book.
Fine, I say.
But here's the part that makes me nuts: she wants me to never tell anyone that she was the reason I quit taking my supplements.
Say I have another bone scan and there's no improvement.

I'm not allowed to say "Mum was concerned, so I stopped taking the pills." even though that's what happened.
I don't think that's right, it's like having your cake and eating it too.
That is it for ranting today!
