irony

you know, i've never minded being single.

like yeah i've wanted a companion, but it never bothered me...

not until recently.

i've found that lately i'm feeling kinda lonely.

and it kinda isn't any fun.

but the ironic part in all of this is,

that i have someone who truly & deeply cares for me.

we just so happen to be on different continents.

i've been friends with him since i was like 12.

he's funny and sweet and silly and wonderful to me.

but he's in brazil,

and i'm here.

life can be so unfair huh?

this is him, Tiago <3

HCG

is a new diet i started on saturday.

now let me tell you that saturday & sunday were my "fun" days (aka loading days)

but today kinda sucked...but not really.

HCG is a hormone the placenta produces in a woman's body that attacks abnormal fat (the kind that ends up on our stomachs, butts, thighs, arms, etc) and not only does it desolve it away, but it releases energy back into your body.

so even though i feel good (no moodiness, fatigue, or even hunger), you gotta remember i'm a big girl and like to eat!

so this whole 500 calories a day, & only veggies, fruits, and a protein is seriously kicking my butt!

but the good news is that i only gained 1lbs on my loading days (you have to eat fatty foods on your loading days so you don't feel hunger during the month long treatment) and i wanted to just weigh myself tonight (even though i only write down my morning weight) and i had already lost .5lbs!

a family friend did this treatment (but she did injections while i'm doing a homeopathic oral version which is stronger) and lost 23lbs in 30 days!!

isn't that amazing??

my goal is to have lost, at least, 50lbs by 4/09 which is my prom!

the woman i purchased this from is on her 4th round of treatment and lost 34lbs on her first round!

she went from a size 18, to a 10! :O

and even though i'm what i call a "proportional fat", meaning my fat spreads out and doesn't accumulate in one area so i feel like i look ok, i'm SUPER excited to see the inches drop.

i never cared about the number on the scale, all that matters is the number on the jeans!

if you go to www.diyhcg.com you can read about it some more.

i'll try to post every monday how much i've lost and tell yall how i'm doing (:

they say the 1st week is the worst, so keep your fingers crossed for me!

i have other things to say but i devoted this whole post to HCG so it'll have to wait until tomorrow! hahaha

goodnight everyone (:

ugh

i'm miserable this week.

not only is it the week before i'm off for thanksgiving break,
but i now have some kind of infection in my foot.

it hurts
and itches
and i can't walk on it

is it friday yet?
):

even i

won't do certain things for money.

do i need it?

yes, very much so.

but the money isn't worth the hour or two

i'll be forced to be around you.

you are so fake and i can't stand you.

go back to brasil,

NO ONE wants you here.

and don't you DARE come around my mother

when she is this sick.

i sit here and want to cry,

because i know my mom is hurting when she shouldn't be.

please, whoever is out there,

whether it's god, a goddess, an angel, anything,

make her disappear from our lives.

slacker

yup i am.

but here's 1 of the things i promised.

idk if you know how much my camera weighs,

but lets just say A LOT!

so for me to take this picture of myself is a straight up miracle

hahaha

wanna know another secret?

my friend is reading a story about this group of people who get shipped to an island where they have 3 days to kill each other with one person remaining only or the island gets blown up.

well we were talking about what if this happened to our entire senior class.
wanna know my answer?

i would GLADLY kill people from my class.
there are so many stupid, rude, idiotic, arrogant, full it, and flat out annoying people that i wouldn't mind.

now maybe it's the PMS talking,
but it's my current feeling.

perfect example,
i'm fixin to punch someone right this very moment.
oh & i almost did in first period too.

fun huh?

wanna know a secret?

i'm REALLY tired.
shocker huh?

but here's something you, Jackie, can look forward to:
*pictures of the fully decorated downstairs
*pictures of the tshirts alley & i are making (on thursday btw)
*a really picture i took of myself

oh also i plan on maybe doing some pictures of my parents this weekend
let's see how that turns out
wish me luck

oh btw, took the SAT on saturday
i think i did pretty well
my score comes in in 15 days
please cross your fringers that i make at least a 6188!!
