It was my best friend’s birthday and so last night I took him his gift and we talked and caught up and i left. I picked him up an app from my work and we met at Starbucks to work on it together. I mentioned I was down 26 pounds and he said “Oh that’s awesome! I noticed, I just didn’t want to offend anyone.” And I told him he looked great too and I noticed the night before as well, i just didnt want t obe offensive either. Turns out we’re BOTH down 26 pounds! haha
only4today asked: wow, you lost weight while you were traveling, how wonderful, girl =). I'm sorry your brother is moving out. But I'm sure he'll be so proud of you when he gets to see all you'll accomplish. So, how was your trip? was this your first time in China? The post you sent me, meant a lot, you're amazing and beautiful and I'm here for you. Talk to me whenever you need to vent or need support or whatever :) hugs <3<3
Haha, I think the main reason I lost weight was because it was a lot of foods that were super rich and could only handle one or two bites of most of the dishes, the rest of them I didn’t touch. As bad as it sounds, I’m kind of looking forward to an extended break from my brother, I wasn’t at first, but then I realized that even though, yes, he’s my brother, he’s not my best friend like I always dreamed he was. He is constantly picking fights with me and making jokes at my expense - especially having to do with my weight. I love him to death always, but I just don’t like him for the time being aha. I don’t think I’ve ever cried so much as I did today when his poor behavior caused my parents to be on edge and then they got in a fight. My parents never fight in front of me, so I did not like the way that felt. On a better note, though, my trip was incredibly fun and incredibly exhausting at the same time! Haha, we did a lot of walking, which I was thankful for. Overall, we saw so much stuff in two and a half weeks, but it was a great experience to be exposed to and submerged in a culture almost opposite from your own. This was indeed my first time to China, and if I do feel the need to go again, I will spend more time exploring Shanghai and go back and visit the many kind, hospitable friends I made.
I’m glad I could help, and you are a wonderful person, and I’m so glad you sent me this. It really helped me get my thoughts out of my head! You’re gorgeous and I’m here for you as well! Please, don’t hesitate to message me up with you want to talk, need support or anything, really. :)
So my brother decided to move to NYC tomorrow (Sunday) while I was in China. He told me at the airport when I got back. My brother is my best friend. So, instead of focusing my time and effort on missing him while he’s gone, I’ve decided that I will put all of my time and effort into looking like a whole new “me” for the next time I see him. He’s helped me through so far, but now he’s leaving. So now, when he returns there will be a surprise waiting for my best friend, brother, and support system.
He’s always worrying about my health. I need to do this for him. I need to do this for me.
On another note, I’m down to 209.8! 20 pounds down from my Starting Weight (:
15 Pounds gone.
85 to go!
Don’t take it wrong, I’m just kinda picky and I want a ‘fresh dashboard’, and I’ll probably re-follow most of the blogs I just unfollowed. I’m going on a following spree now. ♥
