This is my license pic. You can see that the "weight" reads 240 but CLEARLY i was not 240 when I took the picture. It's nice to know now that its not a lie!!

This AM I was 239.8!! It was pretty exciting. i like 230s. It's a cool number. I really think I can meet -60 at least within the next two weeks. I have been resisting the urge to go get some wine or something to drink. I figure if i focus on my school work, i won't drink or eat like crap. lord knows ive gotten the urge, but i havent and i am SO proud of myself! JUST LOOK AT THE SCALE DENITA! Oh, and even more awesome: on my license when i got my new 21er on my bday back in April, they asked how much i weighed and i said "240" when Lord knows I was probably aout 280. Well, now I actually weigh LESS than my license! Who'da thunk it?! Exciting.

I changed my before and after pics for the time being to show what i looked like with my glasses when i first started in september and what i look like now. i have a better picture at home, but ill have to get to scanner for all that madness. You can kind of tell the difference, but with my other picture the changes are MUCH more prevalent.

This AM I made the Krusteaz Pancakes and they were SO GOOD. As ex says, "they taste like honeybuns". LoL Gotta love 'em. I had a great breakfast. not necessarily nutrient dense, but within my calories!! I had a serving of the pancakes w/sugar free syrup ( ), maple bacon ( ), and a scrambled egg ( ). I Saturday breakfasts like that. And, it was less than 400 cals (I think). Can't beat THAT!

I talked to my uncle today who has cancer and he sounded pretty good. My dad has been begging me to call him and i finally did today. It felt good to talk to him. I am glad he is doing well and being a soldier. i told him how I lost 53-55 lbs and he said, "wow, ive heard of people losing that much weight from surgery but thats amazing that you just decided enough was enough and did something about it". I dunno, it was kinda...inspirational? i dunno, it just was touching. We spoke briefly but it was better than nothing. Gotta your family.

Today me and ex went out shopping to Super Walmart (my new drug) and it.was.FABULOUS. I love it. I didn't get too much exciting stuff but it was fabulous nonetheless. I went to JCPenny and got a shirt for my interview on Thursday for the CA position and it is a GREAT shirt. I am excited. Looking good? Check. Verbally prepared? Not quite. I am going to practice some interview questions and practice talking S-L-O-W-L-Y. When i'm nervous, I talk REALLY fast, so hopefully i will be able to slow it down! Even if i decided not to accept the position, i would rather reject the position than have the interviewers reject me. I don't like to fail. i am going to go to Walmart and get this dress for $9. It is SO cute. I think im the only 21 y/o who is not ashamed to shop at Walmart. I think i want some cute sandals to wear with it in the Spring. I am going to get it in a Large because the XL made me look preggers and LORD knows we're not there!

So, right now i'm just typing my paper with gloves on in this cold @$$ room. I sure hope I can get AT LEAST 2/3 done tonight. I'm leaving at 9 regardless. Well, have a good one s!!
