Xorie Oh good! Yes, I don’t drink it alone either, but it is wonderful for cereal. You have a full house! Friends like that are direct reflections of how fantastic your family must be, I had a house like that as well, it makes life sweet. I took for granted how nice it was to have an open home such as yours! Oh also I’ve heard that regular soymilk has a ‘bean-y’ taste, which makes sense obviously, but for now I’ll stick with the vanilla for cereal.
Miss Ladybug That’s so frustrating! I really don’t want to have to pay for repairs so my other step-brother is taking a look at it next weekend when he comes home. He’s computer-savvy and going to school for engineering, but I don’t expect that he’ll be able to fix a physical defect. He thinks he can though, so I’ll let him. I’ll just be very very sad if I lose anymore music or pictures or anything.
RhoRho Thanks for saying hello ;o) Hope you’re doing well!
Risty I’m sorry! That blows, I know the feeling. I always half-expect I’ll hit something but then when I pull it off I feel like the best driver in the world. About the soy milk, yeah if I ever enjoyed the taste of cow milk I’d never look twice at the soy milk, I doubt that it’s much better than milk in general, but for people that prefer the taste it’s a nice alternative. I always had this uninformed opinion however that soy milk didn’t taste good, that’s why I was so shocked when I loved it. Thus the 3 pages of my posting about it. Haha well I am done blabbering about it now I promise!
I’ve been feeling all summery and happy for the past couple of days so I’ve been eating and laughing and talking and not exercising because I’m getting into hippie beach mode. I can’t help it. Well I can help it, that’s why this morning I actually woke up, and got right on my treadmill. I WILL do this from now on. I WILL I WILL I WILL. I’m going to post my before picture from my last birthday tonight I think because I don’t want to look like that again on my 22nd birthday in July. Showing all of you my sausage arms may motivate me. Let’s hope so. Thanks for listening everyone.

AWWWW, you so pretty!! I LOVE the hair! I can't imagine how pretty you'll be with the weight off, you're gonna be even more gorgeous than you already are!
This is so off topic but I'm listening to Michael Buble's new CD and it's awesome! I love the song Lost, it's so romantical and beautiful, Everything is just so happy and lovey, it's just awesome! WOO!

Risty you are so sweet for saying that, because I couldn't sleep because I was worried about not losing the weight fast enough and I know I know I know...I have to be patient but I just couldn't sleep. So I woke up and had a bowl of pasta with margarine and salt. Sometimes I get so stupid to myself, thanks for the support, and I will just make it up tomorrow. That's all I can do. For now I need to sleep so that I can wake up tomorrow and exercise. It's also strangely comforting to place a face to a name (or alias haha) so I am happy that I am able to introduce myself to you guys. My name is Sara by the way. Nice to meet you Christina 
I also had to edit to add...Michael Buble is enchanting. I used to wander around Barnes & Noble when I missed home listening to that 'I wanna go home' song on my iPod. haha pathetic, but he's wonderful I agree.

Ohhhh, sorry to read about your laptop. I dropped mine once too, it's such a rotten feeling. It's like your LIFE is in there damnit! I hear Toshiba is really good at fixing and customer-friendly.
LUKE! Or should I say Sara (nice name). What an incredibly beautiful picture you have posted. I was just amazed. It's funny how we get pictures in our head of people ... all I had to go on all this time was that picture of Mic, so for some strange reason, I transferred that image into my brain of what you look like. Instead you've got long, long, thick and beautiful hair and such a pretty face. The way your father is adoringly and proudly looking at you is just so precious. I love that picture. Hey, who's car is that? he he, I like leather interior.
I also love Michael Boob-blay. I Wanna Go Home and his latest You're My Everything. Man, what a voice.
You are doing GREAT, great, grrrrrrEAT, Sara. The weight is coming off, it's one day at a time. I know, today I had a thought ... all this work ... and not much to show for it, but then I thought, what the hell else am I gonna do...eat my face off? NOT!

Xorie Very wise! I know I became so antsy that I started to drive him crazy, and he threatened to stop and leave me half-crimped. I should have been watching a movie too! Also, that turquoise looked fantastic on you and for my senior prom I wore the exact same color with a halter dress as well. Guess we have the same taste!
PinkyDolly Thank you!!! I have to say, I understand, and I’m really shocked…SHOCKED…that I’m still posting on here. It takes 2 weeks for me to get anything out of my system and forget it, but this seems to be something that I really need, and enjoy. I hope you and I forgo the sabbatical.
2Skinny Yes I called Toshiba today and while he was really nice, he basically told me to take it to a Circuit City and have them fix it since my warranty is up. I can’t be online for longer than 30 minutes now because the fan is broken. GRR! Yes, my life is in here. It is! All of my pictures, papers, school notes (it’s a tablet pc), MUSIC (that I have meticulously categorized since I last deleted everything), movies, everything. I don’t want to cook my motherboard or whatever. Haha. I’m thinking about buying a “zip drive” or I think that is what it is called, so that I can backup my files, but I’m not sure how that works, or if I can save my iTunes to it, or what but I’m going to look into it.
Thank you 2Skinny. I know what you mean though about attaching a vague picture to a face. I think that it is sort of fun but I started feeling creepy since I knew how gorgeous you, Xorie, Miss Ladybug, and Risty are. I was just this ambiguous Jagger lover. By the way, that platinum cropped hair looks freaking awesome on you! That’s one look I know I could never pull off! Though I wish I could, I have always wished I had blonde or black hair. I want a mod haircut but I’m too short and normal for that to look right. Aw thanks, my dad is super sweet. That’s a limo he rented out for the night, because we were all going to be drunk obviously and we wanted to cruise around and go a couple different places so it turned out to be a fun, safe alternative to cabs. Not to mention cheap for my friends. My dad and I are best friends, we both love the same music, he gave me his INCREDIBLE record collection and I have so much fabulous music thanks to him, he’s into art, and science, and we argue over politics and I’m just grateful for him, even if he is an ex-hippie conservative walking contradiction. I’m a little inspired after reading what you wrote about your mother as well. My mom is so wonderful, she’s just the complete opposite of my dad. The things she does well are the things that my dad doesn’t do well, and I could go on forever about how much I love them. I found pictures of my mom and dad when they were both around my age a couple months ago, and they were so young and happy. My mom was tall, long dark hair, blue eyes, perfect skin, and a runner’s form (she's Italian like you Risty!), and my dad was this tall, thin, gangly, red-haired, freckled guy with those 70’s glasses, flannel, and a big blue van. It made me bawl, because I'm so wrecked when I think about how those times ever have to end. They’re divorced now and all but it amazes me. Ugh, I’m using this forum as my sounding board, truly thanks for the support everyone.
Yes and you’re right, even if the scale doesn’t show it, I have come a long way in my habits and mindset and goals. So I don’t want to ruin it by eating my face off…(haha) and I won’t because I won’t get anywhere if I continue to block my own success.

If anyone is interested in an awesome Bowie song check out this video. YouTube - David Bowie - Oh You Pretty Things and enjoy!
I started taking a vitamin supplement and a flax seed oil supplement. I also bought protein powder and fiber supplement. I'm going to see iof my mom will let me borrow her blender so I can start making those smoothies for breakfast.

Luke, ~Bowie is a babe~, I have loved him since well, I won't say because I'll really feel old. But, maybe if I add that some of my old Drill Team half time shows were to some of his kick butt tunes, that may say it all. HAHAHAHA I'm so old! You are gorgeous babes! Are you kidding me? WOW, if I only looked half that great I would be so thrilled. You and your dad share the same sweet smile. Your blessed girlfriend, that's all I have to say for now. I'm still in ahhhh!

I agree with Miss Ladybug, you are blessed. And I wouldn't say that i'm gorgeous. at least....not yet... My sister however, she's pretty darn pretty when she feels like dressing up. And she can eat and eat and eat and not gain a flipping pound! oh well, lucky her.
Very very wise. It's great that you've recognized that all practice can not only be counted by the numbers on the scale. Keep on truckin' and you'll get the scale, the measuring tape, and your lifestyle changed in no time!

Miss Ladybug He certainly is a babe! That's so great that you would dance to his music! I was talking to my sis about that today when we were listening to his cd on the way home and how it must have been when his music came out, and how exciting and fresh it would be, instead of girls bumpin and grinding to drum and bass. I'm so jealous I wish I could switch places. I think that if I could pick any era to grow up in though it would absolutely be 1964-1972. You look really young, though it is true that women with smiles like that don't age. Thank you, you are beautiful though so don't say that please. My dad and I do look totally alike.
Xorie It's difficult to think of yourself as gorgeous but you should listen to all of us when we tell you this beause you are a beautiful girl. Part of my problem with weight has been that I'm never happy with what I am, and I end up sabotaging myself, so you better listen up! I lecture my sis all the time so forgive me if I end up lecturing you as well. I know what you mean though about sisters that eat whatever they want and never gain an ounce! I just picked mine up from school and she asked me to get her a blizzard on the way home I let her try one of my dry turkey sandwiches...hahaha she laughed.

We went for a walk down to the beach tonight, walked along the railroad tracks, jumped a couple fences, and walked a while in the sand, so I'm not sure how many miles, but I can't consider it cardio because I only got out of breath a few times. I'm hoping I am motivated enough to do at least 30 minutes interval training on the treadmill tonight. Strength training with my sister as well.

Speaking of sisters, I'm so jealous of all of my sisters. I have 3 younger sisters and they are all thin! Although, they don't have the eating issues I do. I don't know why I'm so different than everyone in my family. I was born different, I was a super hungry baby, I could out eat children and even adults as a very young child, and as I grew I could always just eat so much and not be full. So I was always overweight (except maybe at age 4-5 yrs), but other than that I've always been overweight and I don't doubt it with how I ate. I just don't understand why I was born like that, I don't know any kids who had that problem (my mom babysits and so I've seen a ton of kids grow up and none of which had an appetite like I did). So it's really hard and I feel it's unfair that I was the only one like that. However, I'm trying so hard to change things and it'll just take time. HOLY RANT! This is not even my diary! Sometimes when a topic is brought up it just brings to mind certain things.
By the way, I'm pleased to meet you Sara! It's so nice to put a face to your alias and a name to it too!
Good job on your walk, it's moving and moving burns more cals than sitting... so it does something!

Good Morning Sara!! Ahhh, your sweet! I'm jealous you got to walk on the beach yesterday, I wish big time I had one close by. I live next to a Lake, but it's not sandy and it's not that pretty, we have dark water here, no blue water or anything really pretty like your area. You mentioned 1964-1974, that's funny! I was actually born in 1969. My favorite years were the early 1980's but music, believe it or not, I LOVE OLD stuff, old 50's old 70's solid gold, and anything blues or jazz related. Don't get me wrong, on my IPOD I have a ton of current rock, 3 doors down is one of my favorites. and I have a lot of Chris Daughtry, I love it all. But just to sit down and listen it would be the old stuff. Isn't that funny! However, if we were talking about clothes, I would say back in the 1870's would be awesome! Can you even imagine wearing all those long gorgeous dresses, just beautiful genre! UH OH, I did what Risty just said, I went off on a tangent. HAHAHAH I hope your day is a great one, and you get to walk on the beach again!

Hey Lukewarm (Sara),
I have to say that reading about your parents made me sad, but your pragmatic approach to it all is also really heartening. As much as I love my parents, I don't particularly get on with them (I chose a different religion and they've never quite got over that) but I still couldn't ever bear the thought of them getting divorced.
And Christina is right - you are very pretty. And you've gorgeous skin.

Hi Luke; I loved reading about your parents. An Italian beauty with a red haired freckled hippie in a van. LOL Adorable. It's painful to love 2 people so much, and to remember how much they loved one another. (((Sara)))
Thanks for sharing the Bowie song. I played it and remembered my Ex husband telling me he was in a New York club when he lived there, and Bowie showed up and played for five hours straight, no shirt on, chain smoked the entire time. Graham said he will never forget that night...it was spellbinding. I'm a huge Bowie fan, on so many levels. His face is beyond exquisite to me. It's one of the most beautiful faces. I also like Willem Dafoe's face. The phrase terrifyling beautiful comes to mind...
Here's to a good Thursday of healthy eating and exercise and a whole weekend filled with good choices.
