13. Stress from tRump made me go down to 81 pounds.

Sat Jun 6, 2026, 04:40 PM

Saturday

I ate the same stuff but when I'm super stressed my body freaks out. I quadrupled my caloric intake and gained 5 pounds back. My sister thought I was doing it on purpose, even my doctor didn't believe me 100% at first. That made me pissed off.

The fucking moron is a psychopathic sadist who gets off on destroying people and things, he is NOT a "builder", he's a "destroyer".
