Skinny 

I ordered a skinny peppermint mocha. The contrast between my 208 lbs of weight and a skinny anything is very funny, and I’m in the mood for some hilarity.

And hey, it’s not half bad, even if it tastes like toothpaste.

    Hey, it’s 2016! All fats (except trans) are good for you, apparently.

    Carbs are the new enemy.

      After having diabetes twice, I have panic attacks whenever I hear the word “carbs.” 🙂

    208?

    My concession to calories is that I get the “short” size of every hot drink, mainly because I get more caffeine per ounce and because I nurse my coffee. Fake sugar is sadness, imo. I would rather attempt to switch to unsweetened green tea than drink fake sugar.

      208 is not the calorie count. 🙂 It’s my weight. 🙂 But not in kilos, at least.

      But I think the number is very close to the calorie count on this drink.

    May I ask what is your height?

      5’6. Or in normal terms 165 cm.

      Back in Ukraine, I’m considered very short. In Quebec I was super tall, like a giraffe. And in the US, I’m average height.
