Only history from you are two postings in a 15 period, one says you
exercise 30 minutes a day, and one says you exercise 45 minutes a day,
both emphasizing how thin and tiny you are (pretty close to the bottom
end of the healthy BMI for your height). As someone who is also a mom
of three, who works outside the home, must be nice to have that much
time to devote to fitness.

No mention of overcoming a former weight problem, as might be
appropriate to a support group. More a tone of ...well, I'm trying to
be nice and figure out why I shouldn't think you are a troll.

On the ice cube front
To melt a 3/4-ounce 0-degree-F ice cube and raise its temperature to
98.6 F requires only 2.9 calories. If you do this in one minute, the
chewing and swallowing typically burns another 0.6 calories, making a
total expenditure of 3.5 calories per cube. Therefore, to lose a pound
(equivalent to 3500 calories), you'll need to eat 1000 ice cubes, never
mind what it might do to your teeth.
