About PreTeena
Remember those transitional years between childhood and adolescence -- the days when you were playing on the swing set one minute, and daydreaming about the fifth-grade love of your life the next? This is the life of Teena Keene -- almost 11 years old, a fifth grader and a good student. She’s an avid inline skater and not quite ready to give up her dolls. But makeup and boys, particularly Gordo Brandt, are beginning to vie for her attention. Teena teeters between child and budding teen, and enjoys being a little of both.

Most people can’t LOSE weight. Stick can’t GAIN it.
She must have a lightening-quick metabolism.

What would it be like to eat anything you wanted and never gain weight? Heaven!

My son is just like Stick! We’re always trying to get him to eat.

What would it be like to eat and eat high calorie stuff, way past being stuffed and way, way more than you actually want to, all day long, every day; and still be so close to underweight that your Doctor recommends a high calorie diet (HAH!) ? Hell!
Sorry Macushlalondra, I didn’t mean to be snarky, but having such a high metabolism that your body constantly needs sustenance is much more difficult than you might think, just imagine the grocery bill!

This is just another example of people wanting what they don’t (and in this case, probably, can’t ) have

Hyperthyroidism can do that for you. I lost over 30 pounds in one month eating everything I could get my hands on. The cruddy part was that it increased my heartrate and everything else as well. Walking up a flight of stairs made me feel like I’d run a marathon. Doctor gave me radioactive iodine and now I have to fight to lose weight. I wish I could have settled somewhere in the middle with the metabolism thing.

The advantage of being a man - we eat whatever we want and don’t CARE if we gain weight…
