I wanna be skinny!

Okay, maybe not skin-and-bones skinny, but thin/slim enough to fit into really trendy and chic clothing. A girl can dream, can't she?

I know I'll probably always be on the chunky side (okay, I'm still hoping that that won't be the case!), but it would be lovely to fit into a nice dress that doesn't require me asking, "Do you have this in a larger size?" Shopping isn't so fun that way. Everything that's cute or on sale at the mall are either "too small" or "too big". There's not enough love for us medium-sized people.

Anyway, the journey to losing weight is still in effect. I actually said no to (one of my many) all-time favorite food: crispy pata. GASP. I'm enjoying the Wii again (yay!) and more than ever, I'm all about counting calories. I bought two oatmeal cookies earlier today, but managed to eat only one after thinking about how I'd have to work extra hard to burn extra calories. One packet of oat & fiber crackers, two oranges (did you know that an orange has 37-80 calories?!) and water so far for today. If there's crispy pata left on the table when I get home, I might not be able to resist. But the funny thing is, I don't feel so hungry.

I guess it's all about discipline. My mind and body are so set to becoming healthier and slimmer that they're both working together to produce better results. Sounds silly? Well, I was walking through the mall earlier this afternoon, contemplating on dinner; more fruits? A sandwich? A slice of vegetarian pizza? Needless to say, the delicious smell of various food touched my nose, but didn't quite make any impression (when I'd usually just buy whatever I thought smelled really pleasing). So I walked out of the mall with just two pieces of oatmeal cookies.

I wonder how long I can keep this up.
Thank You, God, for helping me control my mind and body. Let's go for five months, yeah? :)

Tee hee.
