New guy saw this picture of me. He didn’t comment on how big I was, but he noticed that his ex-gf of 3 years is also in this picture (the blonde girl).
This is me at my heaviest I believe. I would be this heavy for another six months…
Size 16, shirts XL
This is more of a straight shot picture than my profile pic.
Here I’m a size 7 in dresses.
Since these pictures,...

What is life?
I didn’t get the job. I need to rise up and stop feeling so bad about it. I’m going to get my ass out of my room, get dressed, and get to the gym at 6pm for kickboxing. It sucks that today is one of those days where I feel alone. No work, no company. Sucks.
I’ve never been turned down for a job. I need an easy job with day hours and benefits. :(
I also need to figure out what...

Whirlwind week
New guy or guy #5 as you wish has been pretty good about calling, texting, hanging out… it’s like what I always thought I wanted. When my home is packed with three couples on any given night, it’s hard not to lay in bed thinking… what? But then again, they’re all complicated. Actually, one is complicated, one is official, and one is nonexistent in my book.

Middle school again
Yesterday’s Lean Cuisine beef chow fun made me so full. I guess my stomach can now only take half of certain foods, including the Chick-fredo I’ll be having tonight for dinner.
Partying tonight. I always worry that bringing last one will make me upset. I told the new one “there’s someone who I can’t live with because it hurts, but I can’t live without because...

I don't know what this is, at all.
Middle school girls’ P.E. is rather easy. The teacher told me I should get on facebook with her computer so I did. :) All I have to do is watch the kids play sports and listen to music (good except for “Fireflies” ew). I get a whole hour and some change to chill cause there’s lunch 6th period then the 7th period class is on a field trip. Tomorrow, I won’t have 8th...

Sustaining 130.8
January 20, 2010 (2 years since I’ve been my heaviest at roughly 185 lbs) 130.8 lbs - 54.2 lbs lost, 15.8 lbs to go
(written in the dietgirl fashion - see link about book I’m reading)
So school was really boring. All I had to do was sit there with another teacher and watch movies with the 9th graders. The first movie was rather good, but I forgot my glasses so I squinted a lot....
Ugh feeling
…cause half a Lucky Otter burrito is too much.

Weigh-in after workout:...
Just got work. 11:30-3:30pm. Then need to go pick up BC. Gym. Hopefully cleaning afterwards, but I’m pretty lazy.
5 in 7?!
Hah. Not going to invest anything because well, yeah, not that into this one. Asking to hang out and then not hanging out is pretty shitty. I wasn’t the one who asked or waited. Cause the new 2010 me knows I can do a lot better. For real, nice dude but not all that. Might not even match up with Ali G. Cause I like tall and this isn’t tall at all.H
Hung out with temp roomie instead so...
Met a new person. Didn’t like that old person was chatting with girls, but more so, that one of them was my friend. I just want to make sure that, when it comes to girls, I’m still the fave friend. I just don’t think I have the conversational skills…

I need to save for boots.
…and I need a specific goal to justify dropping $115. What shall it be? 125 lbs or 1 month/25 days of work?
I think yellow would be better than grain though, but white looks cool.
Ahh, the mud from last night’s party got my gray suede boots all messed up!

Worked 8:30-3:30 then gym. I was so productive…
Lucky Otter for dinner with Keri/Laura. Yum. Leftovers for lunch today.
Then bonfire at Jesse’s. Dropped off everyone then picked up John and Brett. Danced, rapped, all sorts of fun there till we went to the bonfire. Well, my back-up left for awhile so I was sad, especially since the gathering was kind of lame. Eh, I need new people to...
