Weighing the Options

Okay. Breathe. You can do this.

It hasn’t been that long. And you haven’t really been eating that much. There’s no need to be afraid. Oh, forget about the big bags of clover, nova, and tortillos you consumed when you were holed up in your apartment alone during the holy week. Forget about the pack of brownies, the ice cream, the chocolates, the candies and other confections you pigged out on. And forget about all those extra half-rice you ordered when the food is really good. Forget about staying up late and then staying in bed late. Forget about failing to exercise. Forget about not being able to finish running non-stop around the UP Acad Oval the second time you tried jogging when you have done it the first time you tried it. Forget about feeling that your skinny jeans got tighter when you haven’t worn them in about a month. Forget about all these things. And don’t remember other things.

Focus. You need to concentrate. Empty your mind. And your pockets. Those will just add to your burden.

Now step out of your slippers and step on the weighing scale.

Open your eyes! What’s the purpose of doing this if you don’t see it?

99

YES!!!! I only weigh 99 pounds now! Weee! Oh, check again. Still 99! Oh yeah, oh yeeaaah! I haven’t weighed like this since I can’t remember. I was thinking of wanting to be 100 lbs, but this is better! Last time I checked, about 5 months ago, I weighed 103 lbs. 4 lbs less! I was so scared I’d put on pounds and was meaning to diet and exercise this vacation, but now I don’t have to. Yey!

This is just what I need to enjoy my vacation. What a great relief.

The grade for that last subject that I was waiting for has finally appeared on my CRS page! So it’s confirmed. I am a CS (college scholar) this sem. Weee! Not bad for my first sem in UP, eh? XP
