| I haven't updated for the last 2 days, that's because I was busy and been feeling kind of tired and lazy.
On Friday July 8, it was an ugly rainy day, but I went over to James's house to spend time with him anyway. I came to his house and found his living room and bathroom under renovation. I hadn't eaten anything and his mother cooked delicious fried rice for us. I ate 2 bowls ( I should've eaten just 1 bowl), James's ate like 3 bowls. She is such a great cook, I even sometime watch her cook and learn. After eating, his mom showed me samples of how she wanted her living room and bathroom to be done. We had like an hour conversation, while James was on his computer. Then after, I went into his room and cuddled with him while we watched tv. I missed all the cuddling because during school I stayed and lived in his dorm throughout the second semester of school and we pretty much been together 24/7. But now since school is over and our house is like 45 minutes away from each other, I get to see him once a week. So anyway, while we were watching tv and cuddling his mom barged in the room a couple of times and I thought it was kind of annoying, then the last time she barged in she asked me if I wanted to go to Lowes with her and help her out. I actually didn't wanted to go but right after she asked I got up really quickly and said yes without hesitating. James kept apologizing to me and said that he really wanted to spend time with me and that he had no idea that his mom was going to ask me to go to Lowes with her. So I went with her to Lowes while James was at home scraping and cleaning the wall to get ready for the paint. We were out for like 3 hours. It was funny while we were out James kept calling his mom's cell and complained about when we were going to be done. So when we finally got back, his mom needed to cook dinner right away, she was planning on cooking an italian dish, but didn't have some of the food items so I went with James to the supermarket and bought marinera sauce, zucchini, italian sausages, red onions, and pasta. Which was what we had for dinner was all those cooked and mixed together. I had 2 plates! I felt like a pig, but I allowed myself bcuz the food was delicious and I'm doing this once-in-a-while-pig-urself-out sort of deal. I try to not overindulge when I'm at home, but when I'm out eating I would only allow myself whatever I want once or twice a week. I've been pretty good at home tho. | | |
| I have work again today at 5:30. I can't wait  I'm going to see my boyfriend tomorrow in Boston. We're going to just hang out at his house and watch chinese movies and japanese music videos that he really wanted me to see. Maybe we might even go to this ice cream place called The Coldstone Creamery and share an ice cream dish. Hehe why not? I've been good these past few days and I lost a couple of pounds and I haven't been over-indulging myself on sweets or at all, I should treat myself once in a while.
I went out with him last Sunday and we ate at the popular chinese noodle shop and hung and shopped at Chinatown and downtown crossing. Downtown Crossing has one of my favorite stores, H&M, I  that place. We literally spent about 2 hours shopping in there and I bought alot of bargain clothes. I didn't have time to look and shop anywhere else in the store cuz they were closing and I pretty much spent most of my time at the on-sale areas and the bags, purses, jewelry area, next time.

| Okay so I woke up this morning at around 7 am, I tried to go back to sleep but I couldn't. I turned on the tv to The Today show and saw hundreds of people cheering in London about the Olympics that will take place there.
I did some workout, my upper part of my body looks ok, what I need to focus on are my thighs and legs. I don't like how they look, I want them to look slimmer.
It's pouring out right now, I love the sound and look of rain from my opened window. I checked my weight this morning and I lost 3 pounds \(^o^)/! The last time I checked was 5 days ago and I weighed about 112 lbs, and now I weigh...
WEIGHT: 109
BREAKFAST:
30 blueberries
1 small bowl of homemade fried rice
half of a regular size homemade apple pancake with lite maple syrup
2 cups of green tea
DINNER:
1 small bowl of homemade fried rice
30 blueberries
2 cups of green tea
I have work today at 5:30, I will burn about 250 calories just from walking around and zoning nonstop for 5 1/2 hours. I never eat or I'll try not to eat during my break, ehh maybe just some crackers to keep me going in case if I get sluggish and hungry while working.
I'm actully a happy person now, unlike before. I guess thanx to my boyfriend James who I love and have been going out for 7 months. He is a good person, he has sympathy for others, we have so many things in common, and we're able to talk to each other like noone else, he's also my best friend (^_^). He LOVES to watch anime, and before I wasn't really into it until I met him and I was hooked. He gave me insight and a new perspective to what anime really is, there's more to them than you think (you anime lovers know what I mean). He collects so many anime too and we would watch them in his dormroom. I even volunteered at the anime convention with him in Boston and stayed at the Sheraton hotel, I noticed alot of interesting people there. There were alot of geeks and nerds but THANK GOD James is not like them. He's just a fan and he respects anime, and so do I. I'm happy to be with him, I told him about my eating disorder during last summer and showed him my xanga (cuz at the time I quit ana and didn't think I would go back to it), he understood me, I think. He told me that I look perfect and that I don't need to lose weight, but I always laugh it off. He tells me that I have a hot body, and of course that made me feel really good, but still my mind keeps telling me that I don't look good enough (sighs). But I'm happy that I just lost 3 lbs
**edit**
I just came home from work at around 11 pm and am feeling kind of tired. My mom just cooked steamed broccoli, fish, and pork for tomorrow. She works everyday at a nail salon and then comes home around 8 or 9 pm and would cook for us to eat the next day. I'm trying to learn how to cook from her that way she won't have to always come home and cook every night when she should be resting. She's a wonderful mother, no words can describe how much of a great mother she is, I'll one day pay her back and give her something that she really wants, which is a vacation touring Europe. I came home drooling over the food cuz they smelled so good but successfully restricted myself and just ate one broccoli. I discovered another asian girl, who I met for the first time today, name Tree or Tri who works at Target with me (she might also be vietnamese). Now there's a total of 3 asians including me working there yay!. There's not alot of asians in my town, let alone much diversity. My boyfriend told me that when he first met me, he thought I was kind of "white washed" (He was born near Boston and his High school was very diversed), well I was actually born in a white community and lived there all my life. He made me more open to different cultures and I thank him for that. I guess I can say he's very "asian". The college that I go to isn't really diversed either and my boyfriend james told me how he missed home and how it was so different there. So he tried to make college feel like home by bringing food from home so that he can cook them in his dorm sometime. He had a small rice cooker, asian snacks, a small bag of white rice, noodle packages, asian sauces (even the vietnamese spicy sauce hehe), all different types of tea, and other things. He loves to cook for me too hehe. I don't even know how to cook rice! He was kind of disappointed that I didn't know how, but he taught me once or twice but I still don't know how. I'm 19 and I'm starting to learn how to cook some asian dishes, I'll eventually know how to cook rice, cuz if I don't it'll be kind of embarrassing personally. | | |
| Okay I'm back, and this time I'm REALLY back but also this time I want to lose weight while eating healthy and not end up having an eating disorder, hopefully. Being in this community with you guys will also help motivate me to lose weight, so that's why I'm back. I currently weigh about 112 and my goal is to go down to 105, then 100, and that's it, I don't want to go any lower. My time in college during my freshman year made me gain about 15 pounds, which is why they call it the Freshmen15, I didn't think it would happen to me, but i was wrong. I actually thought I would be able to have more control of myself and be able to lose weight easier during school but it was actually harder. The cafeteria at my school has everything there is to eat. They serve spaghetti, 3 different types of pizzas, cheeseburgers, fries, soups, sandwiches, many different flavored ice creams, yogurt, waffles, variety of desserts, salad bar, and lunch and dinner specials everyday for lunch and dinner. For breakfast they serve pancakes, sausages, bacon, scrambled eggs, omlettes, muffins, bagels, and bakery every morning. I didn't know I had it coming. There was a time when I ate ice cream almost everyday! I ate more in school than at home. But also I had so much fun in college, I'm currently in a relationship with my boyfriend James of 7 months whom I met in college, I made lots of friends, and just being able to have the freedom that i didn't care about what I ate. I realized that I was really happy and that was all that mattered. Which was also the reason why I stopped writing entries in my xanga for a long time. I'm still happy now but I gained all this weight and now I want to lose it all.
I ended school on May 18 weighing about I think 117 lbs, and now I weigh about 112 (I might've gained or lost cuz I checked my weight 5 days ago but I'm gonna check tomorrow), since I'm at home and I have a job working at Target. I have so much more control of myself at home. Ever since being at home, I ate less and less. I do eat breakfast and dinner everyday, but with little portions and it is important to eat breakfast, that way you'll have more energy during the day. I usually eat one small meal before noon and another small meal before 5 pm (and I also drink 2 cups of greentea with every meal), and in between fruits, lots of water, and some snacks (like golden grahams, cereal, crackers, etc. to keep me from overeating), but NOTHING that is fattening. Ever since school ended I have been avoiding ice cream, chips, bakery stuff, any junk food, and there's ALOT of junk food in my house. The only times I treat myself would be when I eat out at restaurants. I'm learning to keep a healthy balance. Eating lots of veggies and fruits, whole wheat bread, skim milk, etc. My family eats white rice everyday, but I tried to cut back on it and serve myself only half a cup every other day. I'm half Vietnamese and Chinese (but I'm more viet.) and we like to eat vermicelli noodles, spring rolls, pho, etc. It's hard because I love eating vietnamese food, and my mom cooks them alot, and those vermicelli noodles contain so many calories with just only 2 oz and sometimes i eat a bowl of them. I also love homemade spaghetti. Spaghetti is EVIL I'm telling you, I tend to eat more of the spaghetti than is needed because they are so delicious. But I guess eating what you love once in a while won't do you any harm, and that's what I'm doing.
I rarely eat fast food. There's a really good documentary called Supersize Me, it's about a guy who tested himself to see what would happen to him if he eats nothing but McDonalds for a whole month. The results were pretty scary but I wouldn't want to spoil it so everyone should go rent it.
oh and about exercising, to be honest I HATE exercising. I try to do some everyday, but I don't really put any effort into it. Since I work at Target and my job is to zone, I move around alot, and do constant walking for like 6 hours, so I figured I would be able to burn alot of calories that way. But I do about 100 situps everyday, and my stomach has gotten flatter and I'm noticing abs and I can actually feel my hipbone, as oppose to like a month ago.
I'm going to weigh myself every 5 days starting tomorrow but as for now,
WEIGHT: 112
BREAKFAST:
a plate of 7 small banh beos
1 really tiny homemade apple pancake
2 cups of greentea
DINNER:
Half cup of rice with egg plant
Half cup of fried rice
2 cups of greentea
50 blueberries (I read blueberries help with ur facial scars left from acne)
I used to count and total how many calories I ate every day, and that caused me to go a little "cookoo" so I didn't want to do that anymore. But I still check calories on labels.
