Let it in…
Even if you did not know Heather, it is worth reading this remembrance of her:

Heh. I used to live a block from this building. I am surprised to see it come up on my dash. I have not thought of it in probably 13 years.

I love that this showed up on my dash…not necessarily because this is my favorite piece by Tracy Emim (it is not), but because it was at the first art exhibit that I ever went to that I recall inspiring me: http://www.brooklynmuseum.org/opencollection/exhibitions/683/

Heartbreak…
Right now I am heart broken because a friend and me have “broken-up.” But because we do not have sex nor did we ever have the intention of having sex, I feel as if I am not allowed to refer to this as a break-up or even acknowledge that I hurt this much. But for a year we have spoken daily, leaned on each other, and laughed so much. I wish I could have bottled the laughter. He took an action that caused me to longer trust him, and he has come to the conclusion that his hurtful actions were “just the way he is.” So to respect and protect myself I cannot be his friend anymore. And it hurts.
It is disappointing, and sad, and frustrating to find that he did not hold our friendship as near and as dear as I did.

Fat
Below is an e-mail I wrote to a friend of mine a couple years ago after she used the word fat as an insult to somebody. When I asked her not to do that her response was “but you’re not fat.” “You are not fat” is one of my least favorite things that people say to me, as it makes it clear that they consider fat to be a negative thing in and of itself. Last night I said “I am fat,” and the look on her face was the response I would expect if I said “I ate my puppy.”
So the e-mail I mentioned in the beginning of this post:
1) I am fat.
2) This is not an insult, but a fact.
3) Saying I am not fat because someone else is fatter, does not make me any less fat.
4) Fat does not imply that someone is bitchy, smelly, lazy, mean, ugly, or any other negative word that people like to associate with the word fat.
5) I have no intention of trying to use a euphemism to describe the fact that I am fat. Pudgy, thick, chunky, round, bodacious, curvy all are true words to describe me and all of them can be defined by the word fat.

Below 200 pounds!
I finally got my scale working and I now weigh 197. Now, my water weight goes up and down by about 3 pounds on any given day, so I am just going to watch and hope this stays below 200.
I have been watching everyone’s progress pages and I think I want to be between 160 and 175 pounds. I do not have a GW per say since I really just want to feel good. So far…so good.
Last night I was proud of myself and the decisions I made. Yesterday at lunch I eat too much and was feeling pretty terrible. So I decided that I was going to take a 60-minute spinning class instead of a 20-30 minute stationary bike ride. And by doing this it meant I was going to take a much later shuttle bus home. Generally, when I take the late shuttle buses home I get home am exhausted and starving so I end up grabbing a slice of pizza. Instead, I went to my works cafeteria in the afternoon, grabbed a pre-prepared salad and ate that on my shuttle bus for dinner.
I am proud as I did not give myself a pass when I ate a bad lunch, I just jumped right into what I want my “norm” to be moving forward.
Weight loss…
I have been traveling (for work and pleasure) for the past 2 months. I do feel like I lost a little weight. I am certainly feeling a bit more confident in my t-shirts. But I am not feeling as if there was a massive weight loss. And without a scale I have no idea. But my co-workers are raving about all the weight I lost. Who knows? I am hoping that I do not just gain it all back in the next week.
The only thing I can come up with is that I was with other people for almost every meal I have eaten in the past 2 months. Maybe I have been unconsciously checking what I have been eating because others are around? Also, no boredom eating. I repeat: no boredom eating. I think boredom eating and cheese are my biggest downfalls. I am trying my darndest to stop eating because I am bored. This is tough for me. Regular exercise is a breeze. Eating healthy meals is pretty easy (though I am still working on portion control), but being bored. That is tough for me. My mind is a mile a minute, and I need to be entertained almost every minute of everyday. I need to figure out how to slow that down without drinking and eating.
