Digital scrapbook page I made of my family swimming in the pool on our summer vacation.
Well, after venting out my frustrations, I decided to sit down and watch an episode of Oprah that I recorded but didn’t watch yet. It had the guy Dr. Oz on it, and low and behold…the episode was about weight loss. Weird how that happened since I don’t know what the episodes are about when I record them since my satellite automatically has it programmed to record. 
Anyways…now that I’m thinking about it, another weird thing happened when I turned on the tv. 
When I turned on the tv, the channel was on the shopping network, and it was talking about weight loss products. That’s so weird because no one in my house watches the shopping network, yet the tv was left on that channel. What’s even weirder is that I was the last one to watch tv and I know for a fact I didn’t leave it on that channel! 
I don’t know about you, but I take things as symbols to something. In this case, a symbol for me to continue with my weight loss even though I have problems with my family. Check. That’s the only logically explanation in regards to these symbols. What are the odds that those two symbols happen right after I vent about getting off track and losing focus? Slim to none I think.
So here I am. A bright new morning and a new attitude. 
I decided to keep going with my weight loss and even weighed myself this morning. Somehow, I lost 4lbs since the last time I weighed myself, which was July 26 when I weighed 288lbs. Now I’m happy to report I’m down to 284lbs which is 14.5lbs lost since I first weighed in at 298.5lbs. WOOT!!! 
I started this morning with a nice healthy breakfast consisting of a bowl of fresh strawberries, a bowl of Kellogg’s All Bran; Bran Flakes cereal, and a bottle of natural spring water. Yummy!! 
It definitely beats the eggo waffles with cream cheese that I’ve been having.
I’m looking forward on being back on track and seeing the numbers go down. GO ME!! lmao

I feel as if I’m going off track with my weight loss effort. I just feel depressed over something I’m not even sure of. What’s worst is that it seems I don’t have my family’s support. I got a comment from my mother the other day that really felt like a thorn in my heart. 
We were having supper (mom, dad, & me), and I just didn’t want to be bothered because they were complaining about my sister. So I was zoning out because I just wanted to eat and then leave. Then they try bringing me into the conversation and I responded, “Don’t bug me. I like to eat in peace. Pretend I’m not here. Pretend I’m invisible.” Those were pretty much my exact words. Then my mother responded with “You’re a big girl. You can’t be invisible.” 
I felt like getting up and taking off out of the house. I was so angry that she even said a comment like that because it hurts alot, especially coming from a loved one. Don’t you think I know I’m a big girl which is why I am trying to lose weight in the first place? Don’t they know how much it hurts when they say stupid comments like that?
So of course I turn to comfort food…big, big mistake. I didn’t even weigh myself for three days because I just felt like giving up. I just don’t know what to do anymore. I don’t have the support I so desperately seek from my family. It just seems like….I dunno…I’m just so frustrated! 
Internet companies make me sick!! I am currently with one and pay for high speed at $50/month and it’s complete garbage. I canceled it and it won’t work on August 3rd. So I called up another company to install cable internet. A guy came but ran into a problem since there is no connection coming in due to a power surge we had 8 years ago. We don’t use cable tv. We use satellite, so we didn’t know it was messed. Then the guy says his manager would call on Monday. No one called this entire week!!!!
I hate when they say something and then don’t follow through. Like seriously!! It just pisses me off more than words can say. If you say your manager is going to call, and I wait around for the phone call and nothing comes, then you have one angry customer on your hands. Fuck man…I need the internet set up by August 3rd because I don’t want to be left out in the blue.
Woot! I’ve been tagged by Teresa with the tattoo meme. 
I currently have one tattoo. It’s located on my right shoulder. You can see the tattoo in the image off to the side.
What the words say is:

Digital scrapbook page I made of my sister Tanya. Congrats on reaching the halfway mark!!!
I have picked up a new hobby; digital scrapbooking. 
Every time I get on the computer, I’m pulling up some photographs and making scrapbooking pages. It’s really fun and I enjoy making the pages. I’ve found so many websites that offer free scrapbooking kits. I even purchased some that were not free because I had to have them. LOL!
Also, if you didn’t notice, I am putting my digital scrapbooking pages up on my site BabyBeads.net. I know…it’s not a typical name for a scrapbooking website but I had purchased it for a store I was deciding on opening relating to baby beaded bracelet but never got the project up and running. 
: Because I bought the domain for two years, I decided to put it to some good use. So visit it if you want. Thanks! 
Well, the other day I finally weighed myself after the long trip to the Dominican Republic, I still weigh roughly around the same weight, 288lbs to be exact. I seriously thought I was going to gain 20lbs because of all the food and drinks at the buffet in our resort. Thankfully, I didn’t.
I still have alot of work to do in order to get down to the 200lbs I so eagerly want to weigh. Some say 200lbs is still alot… 
: but honestly, it’s better than the 298.5lbs I weighed initially. I seriously can’t wait to be down to that weight. Too bad there’s no easy fix or snap your finger and you weigh that much. Dammit! LOL! 
Oh well…it’s hard work and determination that will drive me to achieve that weight.
