Hi :) My name is Amelija. I am 24 years old medical student. I am writing this blog, because I want to share my ups and downs, to find inspiration and to inspire others. I had lost 10 kg and weighted 60 kg when I was 17. While having my senior year in the school and now while studying i regained a lot of weight and my Start weight was 95 kg. Current weight is 92,5 kg. My goal weight is around 70-65 kg. The aim of this blog is to share my ups and downs :) I wish to be happier, stronger and wiser . xoxoxo

Drag queen Phi Phi O’Hara recreates 90s cartoons

Drag queen, artist and chameleon extraordinaire Phi Phi O'Hara is chronicling her #365DaysOfDrag project on Instagram. As part of the year-long project, O'Hara limited her subject matter for a time to iconic cartoon characters of the ‘90s — and they are amazing.

‘I made a decision: I would push myself to return to the OR. Why? Because I could. Because that’s who I was. Because I would have to learn to live in a different way, seeing death as an imposing itinerant visitor but knowing that even if I’m dying, until I actually die, I am still living.’

Paul Kalanithi was just finishing his training as a neurosurgeon when he was diagnosed with terminal cancer. This is his heartbreaking, moving, yet beautiful account of life before and after the diagnosis, and his thoughts and reflections about the meaning of life and mortality. He died in March 2015, aged 37, while still writing this book.

I won’t speak any more on this, because my words won’t do this book justice, but I will say that I urge you to read it. Not just medical students and doctors, everyone and anyone should read this book - it is not one that you will forget easily.

Whenever I see a post on this book I have to share. Seriously go read this book.

[insert-nursey-name-here]

Tips That Can Save Your Kid’s Life.

[hiddlesherethereeverywhere]

THIS IS IMPORTANT 

When I was a child, from the time I was about four and could understand things, my mom told me and my brother that we should have a secret word. That way, if we were ever in trouble or felt unsafe and we didn’t want the people around us to know we needed her to come get us, we could let her know. So she let us pick the word and my brother and I chose the phrase “peanut butter cups.” (I’m happy to share the phrase now since both my brother and I are adults now). 

I used the phrase twice in my life. Once, I was at a friends house when I eight years old. Her dad got really drunk and was throwing things against the wall. I was really scared and I didn’t want to draw attention to myself on the phone when I called my mom to come get me because I didn’t know if he would get more violent if I asked her to come get me. So I called her and was calm and after a couple minutes I asked “Hey mommy, did you get me those peanut butter cups from the store?” And she said “I’ll be right there.” And she came and got me within minutes. 

Second, I was a teenager spending the night at a friends house. Her brother and dad were drinking and they started talking about things that made me uncomfortable - ie: what they liked to do to women. My friend didn’t seem perturbed and said that was normal for them and that I shouldn’t worry. But I was worried because they were really drunk and I was 15 and the only ‘woman’ around that wasn’t related to them. I went in my friends room, told her I needed to call my mom and say goodnight. Before I hung up with her I asked “Next time we go to the store, can we get some peanut butters cups? I’ve been craving them.” And she came and got me, just like that. 

Two incidents, one as a young child, one years later as a teen. Don’t discredit this stuff, it fucking works. My brother used it a few times too. Let your child pick the word and no never, ever, ever, ever get mad at them for using it no matter what it is.

DO NOT SCROLL PAST THAT.

[drowned-sun]

not only should the safe word be used to alert your parents of your discomfort, wishes, etc in private but also to know when a stranger was lying.

my family’s safe word was ‘fuzzy pickles’ and we were to use it if a stranger ever approached us while we were walking from school and said that our parents sent them to pick them up. wed have to ask them what the secret code was and it would tip us lil chilluns off that these guys were no good.

i had to use it once while walking home from school. a white sedan pulled up to me and my brother (12 and 10 at the time). there were two men in the front and one in the back and they had their windows rolled down. the one in the passenger seat says, ‘your parents told us to pick you up’ and i asked them what the code word was and they couldnt give it to me so my brother and i ran back to the school and had the front office call our parents who sent a family friend to come and get us.

the code word is majorly important

[lorehhh]

my family’s code was purple elephants 

[plotwitch]

yes absolutely. i have always been up front with this with my son, even as young as toddlerdom. i always explained to him that any time a stranger did these things, even family, go for it. when he was 6 we went to a … well, not a tupperware party, but something like it at my aunt’s house. and by the end of the evening one of her friends (female, former teacher, recently widowed) was drunk and telling me what an awful mother i was and clutching my child and refusing to let him go regardless of how often i explained we needed to leave and let him go. i was trying to be polite because she was my aunt’s friend, etc. baby boy took care of it and did what i’ve told him always to do. bit the bitch. she let him go, i swooped him up, and we left. did we go to toys ‘r us? why yes we did. even in a situation like that these tools are invaluable because where i was hampered by adult thinking, he understood: a stranger is holding me and not letting me go, and even with family he knew present, myself included, he did what he had to do. so proud. he’ll still do shit like that if need be.

moral of the story? since apparently we can’t force people not to be monsters, teach your child not to be a statistic.

Starting to write my blog again. Starting to write when something is wrong and try to heal through the words. I am so lost, sad and angry. The hard time to realize and to consider if the person, you wanted to go through your life journey is the one. I don’t know at the moment. Really. It is very hard, because he was the first in everything, I saw a friend, a mate, the person in which I believed and I just breath him in myself. Unfortunately I am not the same person for him as he is/ was to me. I am so dissapointed in my relationships, I do not believe in him, I am just watching how this my relationship is going to the end. It is hard because he is not only my boyfriend, but because he is my fiance, but he acts like a child, he doesn’t know priorities and do not think about the future. I have always to push him to do next steps. I am afraid of future without him, not knowing what to wait, afraid if I do not find my person I will be alone. I know, that in Western culture I am only 25, but in my culture I am 25 years old- without normal job ( I will have to be a resident for 4 years with salary 500 euros), without my own flat- I am living with my parents, without drivers licence and without kids. I am really scared. I am lost. I don’t see any steps from him. Sometimes I think that he is my reflection, I think it is partly true, I angry for myself in the biggest part, but also in him. He didn’t fulfiled my expectations. Even our engagement- I was pushing him to do that step, well I thought I deserved it after 7 year of relationship, but it is hard to know he wasnt certain about that. So I am scared, lost and sad...

As requested, my meal plan for the next 30 days.

Please note, I have visited a dietician who has, based on my age, height, weight, physical activity + pcos, placed me on a 1400 calorie per day allowance to lose weight.

I also follow a strictly paleo lifestyle, which certainly isn’t for everyone.

I hope to lose at least 5 kgs / 11 lbs each month for the next three months to bring me to my first goal weight of 80 kgs/176 lbs.

I’m currently down 33.5kgs / 73.8lbs.

As a med student what are some of your favourite websites to study from, and top books recommendations?

My favourite websites are:

http://bestpractice.bmj.com/best-practice/welcome.html - you need a subscription from your uni for this, but I’m pretty sure most do have one. REALLY good for clinical stuff and it’s kept up to date!

http://geekymedics.com/ this site’s good for quick revision notes.

http://www.oscestop.com/index.html and http://www.osceskills.com/ are great for practical skills.

My favourite books are:

The oxford handbook of clinical medicine - this is like my bible.

Oxford handbook of clinical diagnosis - this is soooo good for revising for OSCEs and just generally good for diagnosis, which is SO important for being a doctor!

Davidson’s - this is what I use for my big reference book. It’s got a lot of good info and has good diagrams and tables of stuff!

Macleod’s clinical examination - everything you need to know about examining patients!
