I mean, it's true. Taylor Swift definitely has the worst cat.

OB is not an area of medicine I am especially familiar with. My field is endocrinology.

Oh no, I meant it more as a response to the fact that it IS being recommended more often, and personally I think it's almost cruel. Women who are already obese are extremely unlikely to be able to meet a goal of losing weight while pregnant if they weren't able to lose the weight BEFORE being pregnant. It makes…

If there was anything in my comment that suggested such a recommendation to patients should ever be considered or worded lightly, I want to emphatically apologize. I only wanted to state that it can be medically indicated, and in fact it is increasingly common for it to be medically indicated. That is between a woman…

She didn't seem to know her audience for much of her interview, the tiresome and way too long, overly heartfelt description of her new song was so eye-rolling. Graham Norton is a challenging interview in that you have to pull out the charm and witticisms, so many American celebrities really fail on this front as…

I hate it when people judge me for eating certain things. I've had severe nausea and dizziness and trouble gaining weight initially throughout this whole pregnancy, and I'm only halfway through, so if I want to eat a danish and some hot chocolate because it's calorie heavy and not likely to make me throw up, I will,…

I fit the parameters of "maybe you should consider losing weight during your pregnancy!" And will state for the record : that is an insane thing to chirpily tell a pregnant woman. I gained 30 lbs, and lost them all by the time I was discharged with newborn baby Ruth. And even that required a damn lot of work and a…

Whether and to what extent weight gain is healthy during pregnancy is dependent on a patient's health prior to pregnancy. Under some circumstances, weight loss is indicated for the health and safety of patient and fetus. But that's for a patient's provider to determine, not mean girls in a fucking waiting room.

You're defending this so much! John Cleese is in fact a comic genius which makes resorting to this tired joke premise a bit sad.

I love Taylor's tiny death glare about 48 seconds in, after Cleese comments on her cat. You can tell she really loves her cat.

Hey guys!

Today is National Coming Out Day.

I started dating an unrequited crush from college, years after the fact, after we started internet flirting while I was living abroad. I came back for a one month visit over Christmas and we saw each other on the first day and thenpretty much every day after that.

Going up, my parents were were divorced and never communicated directly. I got bounced back and forth between them a lot. Always based on what my mom needed. Fuck my social life or grades or stability. If being a parent started to get too hard, she'd ship me off to live with my grandmother or father. She'd get lonely,…

I would like to believe I would always react this way - since reasonably the partner cheating on you is the one who deserves all the ire, not the person they're cheating with - but I'm not sure. It was a lucky combination of him being an asshole and me knowing he was an asshole, her being awesome and as determined to…

I was a senior in college, and after a series of relationships that lasted each school year (or nearly so) I was on a bout of several short term fling type things.

One day I overheard a girl yelling at a boy on the (pay)phone with the same name as my boyfriend. Being a one stoplight town, I was curious and asked her his last name. Turns out, she was yelling at her/my boyfriend. We hitchhiked to his house (with a super creepy dude) and upon knocking on the door, discovered he was…

This was not my proudest moment, but when I got dumped by a guy who had sworn eternal love just long enough to hook me and then stomp on my heart, I called a florist, had them cut the heads off a dozen long-stemmed roses and deliver the wrapped-with-a-ribbon box of stems to the asshole during a long business meeting…

This isn't a story about me being broken up with, rather me breaking up with my boyfriend at the time. Our 2nd anniversary was coming up and I had just realized that I was in love with someone else, a woman to be exact. Well, he didn't know this yet and my 19 year old self thought the best time to tell him was when he…

My naive 18-year-old self wasn't the best at separating a guys interest in dating me with his interest in sleeping with me. I was also a virgin, or at least I was until I started hanging out with my manager from work. Since he was my manager, our hooking up was hush, hush.
