Continued success

12/01/2012

I am very happy to say that I've lost two more pounds. I weighed myself a few minutes ago and got the joyous result...maybe I'm not on this diet for nothing after all. At times it's been frustrating because the cravings have been so bad, but all in all, it's been worth it. I can't complain too much.

I suppose what started my journey to lose weight is 1.)health reasons, and 2.)pride reasons. Obviously, the health reasons far outweigh the pride reasons--I don't plan on having a heart attack when I'm 35--but there's also the fact that I have never been as heavy as I am now (or as I was when I first started this odyssey), and there is no way I'm going to let that go on. Ideally, I'd like to reach the weight I was when I was in high school, but for the short term, I just want to get to my current target weight. I think I'm doing well; I've shown more willpower than I thought I had.

Weight loss aside, I've grown very nostalgic as of recently. I've been going on to YouTube and watching all of the old music videos that MTV used to play back when they could truly call themselves MUSIC Television. Skid Row, Falco, Winger...I remember all of these videos. They came during the best period of my life; a lot of good memories are tied up with these songs, and thank God there's a way for me to reconnect with my past. A lot of people might ask why I'm still looking backward when I should be looking to the future, and to these people I will simply say that I don't really like what I see as far as what the future holds, and that I would rather go back and remember when times were a lot better than what they are now. At least there was still some sense of pride in this country; now, it's all but non-existent.

Anyway, that's about it for now. God bless, everyone!
