absorb amazing conscious eat food good healer putting remembered vitamins
I'm very conscious about putting good food into my body. Years ago, I went to see an amazing healer called Allah, who could read your body. She told me that I can't absorb vitamins very well, and I have to eat the right things to get my vitamins. I've always remembered that.
believe death diabetic eventually stops taking
To me, it is like a diabetic with insulin. If that diabetic stops taking insulin, they will die, and I believe that if I don't follow the 12-step programme, I will regress, and that could eventually be the death of me.

I don't have a problem with the stories saying I'm skinny at all.

okay running shorts tailored uniform
Shorts are practically a uniform in every woman's closet. Tailored shorts are okay for running around, and if you're 18, you can get away with cut-offs. But it's very easy to make a mistake with shorts.
My grandfather was Scottish, born in the slums of Glasgow.
