Happy Hallow's Eve
Wow, a whole month where I haven't updated. Surely to say lots has been going on this past month; Ryan and I decided to go to Europe at the end of December, I found out that I'll most likely be finishing up college in June instead of the projected December 2008, and I've managed to lose around 5 to 6 pounds on the nutrition plan that Jen made for me. This also concludes month three of living away from home. Life seems to be ordinary although I did stay out until 3:30 Saturday morning for Elena's surprise birthday party that we held at Ryan's. Yesterday I started having a cold and since it hasn't subsided much, I've been poppin' alka seltzer all afternoon.
Recent events have made me reflect on life. Last year, the doomed freshman 15, and then some, seemed to find me even though it was my junior year. Needless to say, I have been pretty self-conscious about it. I was never really unhappy with my body before the weight gain, although having abs of steel was a wish of mine. I'm glad that I'm losing some weight on the diet Jen prepared for me and am hoping that I can get back to my original weight. I have friends who don't seem to be comfortable in their own skin and I feel sorry for them because of it. I'm so lucky that I learned to be confident in my body at 18. I'm sorry for those who are in their 20s and still don't. It is such a hindrance when getting close to that special someone when you aren't comfortable with your own body. Getting to that comfort level is sometimes hard, it was in my case, but it's rewarding when you get there. Well, with a sniffle and a cough, I'm out.
