Though I’m not American, I mourn for the human lives lost that day.
All of you are in my prayers.

I’m very disappointed with myself. These past few weeks, I didn’t exercise or eat healthy. I don’t know what overcame me. I think my emotions are to blame, especially since I always seek out comfort food. It really was a disappoint. I even saw my weight going back up into the 290’s again. I freaked out and said enough Tina…ENOUGH!

So I weighed myself today and I’m back up to 288.5lbs. That’s 5.5lbs more than what I weighed at the beginning of August. I’m not happy at all. I’m trying to focus but it’s very hard especially if you don’t have support from your family or a friend who is going through the same thing.

I know that if I lived alone in my own apartment, I would be working it off without a problem. I’d be buying the groceries myself, making sure I stick to my workout routine, and watching what I eat. It’s difficult to do this when a.) your parents do the groceries in the house, b.) you can’t workout without someone commenting or putting you down, and c.) I can’t cook since my mom forbids me from touching her stove. And above all, it’s not like I can move out because I can’t afford it due to all my income going to my education bills. *sigh*

Too bad there’s no “easy way” to losing weight and keeping it off. Man, wouldn’t it be amazing if you could just snap your fingers and be the right weight for your body type and age. *day dreams*
