37.5
Now there’s a number. Quite arbitrary, you might think. I beg to differ. On its own, it carries no judgement. Out of context, irrelevant. Until you ask: “37.5 what?”
37.5cm; 37.5 slabs of chocolate; 37.5 pairs of shoes; 37.5 earthworms; 37.5 light-years; 37.5 dimensions; 37.5 years old; 37.5 K salary; 37.5 carat diamond; 37.5 degrees South; 37.5 seconds; 37.5 g/cubic metre density; 37.5 kg.
Kilograms.
What could you get in 37.5 kg? 37.5 litres of Liquifruit. 37.5 one kg bags of sugar. Around 75 pairs of shoes. A huge bag of feathers. An infinitesimally small piece of a collapsed neutron star. A reasonably large pile of bank notes, in any denomination or currency you choose. Not too many copies of the King James version of the Bible.
How about a sister?

Big hugs, infinite hugs honey. It's really quite an unbelievable feat, being a total mass of 37.5 when you're over twenty. Determination if I've ever seen it. But it can only get better from now, can't it? With your support, alongside the pyschological support she's getting now, she's in good hands.
And you have been the most patient sister I've ever seen.

Wow, best of luck!
thanks guys, it was a total shock to learn. yes, she's been anorexic for ages; yes, we kept lecturing, yes, we knew she was unhealthily thin. But when you put a number to it, all denial stops right there.
Here's hoping that's the bottom of the pit, and it's all uphill (weight-wise) from here...
rubbish emailing prevails in 2006, too, it would seem. following your life and times avidly, nonetheless and sending BIG love. crap stuff, that!
Thanks j. And we'll have to work on that email thing :)
