So far so good... I feel like I'm right on track and I figure in about a month to 6 weeks I may be down to my goal which is fantastic! I noticed in some pics how much fatter my face is from a couple months ago... it's ridiculous! I was chatting with my boyfriend after lunch and something about a Heineken came up, and I happen to have a pic with one saying "Keep your hands off my Heine" and Mike told me I look really different in that pic... like I just left a refugee camp or something! I laughed cuz I don't see it (I'll post the pic... laugh away cuz I look retarded) but I realized how fat my face has gotten since then! I'll post a recent one too for reference.
I also realize I never really talk about anything that's going on with me so I gotta change that I think. So since I started this super strict diet I kinda didn't want to tell people about it because I always get so much shit about it. Mike told me yesterday that some family is coming out from Italy and he wants me to meet them and go out for dinner and drinks, then breakfast in the morning... this is my nightmare (the food part, not the family, lol)! So I had told him I was gonna start eating better, but not to the extent that I'm changing my food and exercise habits... I had to tell him about the diet I'm on and thankfully he took it really well. I got the "as long as you're safe then I'm ok with whatever you do... I just don't want anything to happen to you" which was sweet; he's a good boyfriend =) So basically while his family is here I can have a chicken salad for dinner, water for drinks and tea for breakfast... it sucks but at least I have it figured out!
It's also been a really bad time for my friends... I feel so bad for them! I had a really bad month last month in a lot of respects... fell down drunk and cut up my knees hella bad to where the scarred down at the delta and pissed off a few friends that day... then I crashed my car about a month later... what an idiot, but now things are good. My friends are going through so much lately... it really made me reflect on just how lucky I actually am. My friend Jeremy had a breakup that he's super upset with, he's doing poorly in his business and is losing money, and he's got some medical issues lately. My friend Karen got diagnosed with MS which makes me really sad cuz I know what that does to your body... she's got a positive outlook though, I just hate that for her. My friend Luke got a massive ticket and the bail... yes bail, is really high and he doesn't have a job. My friend Mary is getting sued! My ex-husband Justin's friend got critically injured overseas and he gets deployed in about two months. And finally my boyfriend Mike found out one of his aviation friends died in a plane crash on Monday... he was the one flying (the friend, not Mike)! It's just one thing after the next! I hope things get better for them!!!
Geez... I didn't expect to write THIS much!
Skinny me...
Not so skinny me... and Mike
