I am mentally ill. I can say that. I am not ashamed of that. I survived that, I’m still surviving it, but bring it on. Better me than you.

literally crying over mattie rogers damn

hello-itskelly-deactivated20160

I didn’t fucking see it because the feed was down but omg omg omg I cry. I CRY.

swimfit

my feed came back on right as she walked up to her 3rd attempt. I had no idea how the selection process worked, but I wish they could like 2 athletes per weights class instead of 2 athletes overall. that sucks ):

in swimming they get to take 2 athletes for every event.

I was listening to the announcers, and from what I gather, you need to achieve a certain total in order to qualify (like a total that is a certain percentage of a very elite number) to maximize your chance of medaling. And she didn’t get it. :(

swimfit

ohhh okay that makes more sense. I thought they said something about how one person already had a spot and they could allow 2 more based on who had the best percentile. I have no idea! this is so outside of my realm of knowledge haha.

Same lol I really don’t have much of a clue. But Jenny Arthur already has a spot apparently!

But she got best female lifter so I really don’t get it

swimfit

It’s based on likelihood of placing in the actual olympics. And calculated by some complex number. The best female lifter was based on who lifted the most compared to their body weight. So perhaps she’s in a more competitive weight category Internationally compared to other girls? There’s lots of reasons, but it sucks :(

I still don’t get how Sarah Robles placed and Mattie didn’t? This stuff doesn’t make sense to me.

The world record in the 75+ category is a 151 kg snatch, and Sarah missed 118 3 times last night.

The world record in the 69 category is 128, and Mattie snatched 106, with a very close miss at 109. It just seems like Mattie is more competitive.

You don’t need a perfect relationship. All you need is someone who loves your weirdness, wants to spend time with you and respects you.

An eight grader’s spot-on definition of BMI is going viral

In her body-positive response, the student took issue with the outdated mode of measurement. Much has been written in recent years on the unreliability of BMI as an indicator of things like health or level of fitness, and the eighth grader nails it in her response. The student also revealed her struggled with her weight in the past and what her doctor told her about her health.

“How could someone who stays fit and eats healthy and has a low metabolism be in danger of heart disease and diabetes? Oh that’s right, because she isn’t in danger of obesity and heart disease. The woman is active and healthy and she is the farthest thing from obese.

In conclusion, BMI is an outdated way of determining a person’s body health and it’s a measurement that should NOT be used in a school setting where students are already self conscious and lacking confidence in their unique bodies.”
