Sure, why not.
I'm 31.
I'm in the "slightly overweight" category, though I'm much closer to "normal" than "obese" if you put any stock in the BMI chart.
I live in the Midwest, about 45 miles north of KC.
I've smoked about a pack a day for 8 years. I've recently cut down to less than half a pack a day. (Might be why I'm a little extra anxious)
I take a variety of medications for anxietyb depression, and OCD. 1 medication for high triglyceride levels. (Vescepa - just a really potent fish oil) My doctor thinks it's a genetic thing.
I take propranolol for my anxiety, which has the added benifit of keeping my blood pressure and pulse in a very nice range. (Never been diagnosed with high blood pressure)
No diabetes.
No other medical conditions.
