Can I just say I'm really excited about my progress... cuz I am!!! So far it hasn't been that difficult, the only hard part really is that my mom and sister eat like shit, so I came home last night to the smell of Round Table pizza, which is one of my favorites! It was so tempting but I resisted. I get a little annoyed too because my other roomie Michael seems to taunt me with "doesn't that look good"! I think its kind of a dick move, especially since he's dieting too! I think it will get a lot easier when I move on August 27th =) I know it will be so much easier when I live on my own again because I'm living by myself and I determine the food that's in the house so it isn't so tempting! I gained weight while living with my family... not to mention the stress of being on my own (well... with my ex really) has gotten to me, so it'll be nice to be on my own knowing I can do that. I'm so blessed my mom took me in for those few months, but it's time to move on!

In other news... I'm meeting Mike's family from Italy tomorrow!!! It's just cousins, but he's never met them so I'm happily surprised he wants me to go with him =) Slight dilemma though... with such a strict diet it's going to be hard to do what he wants. We're going to dinner in SF, then drinks, and breakfast in the morning. I figure I can eat a chicken salad with no dressing for dinner and tea in the morning for breakfast. I absolutely can't do the drinks so it's water for me... I'll feel like such a loser doing that though... especially since I'm not really telling people I'm on a diet cuz I don't wanna here it from them! Another dilemma I had was that I told my boyfriend that I was going on this super strict diet, then I found out a few days later he wants to stay in the city so I had to fess up what diet I was on because he'd see the injection in the morning. I figured he wouldn't be stoked on the idea because a lot of people aren't and he's pretty... what's the word... I dunno but he has really high morals and is critical of things that may not be safe or healthy (which is a good thing because he keeps me straight and I need that sometimes) but he took it well after I explained what it was. "I just want you to be ok, I don't want anything to happen to you, but I know you did your research so I'm ok with that"... good response I think =)

Ok I really need to stop writing so much! All I wanted to say is life is good =)

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

So I haven't weighed myself yet cuz I'm terrified to... but I'm trying. I went to the doctor yesterday for bloodwork and one thing they wanted to test me for was my thyroid. I got the results back and my T4 (hormone produced by the Thyroid that regulated energy and metabolism) and it's really low. I've been tested for this three times now and every time it comes back low. I also got my AST levels tested and they're on the lower end of normal (this is to check for organ damage) so that's a little concerning. I'm wondering if I have hypothyroidism like my mom... if so this explains a lot! I looked it up and exhibit a lot of the symptoms for subclinical hypothyroidism: fatigue, depression, anxiety, and consistant weight gain! If left untreated it can cause organ damage... notice the AST levels were low... concerned much? I think so! I wrote my doctor to try and get answers and I'm hoping they can do something about it. This may explain to me why I'm always struggling with my weight and feel too tired to go to the gym. I was taking T3 for a little bit to speed up my metabolism a few weeks back and I had so much energy and wasn't nearly as hungry as I normally am. Maybe I know why now...
