(on my way back up)<div><div>I'm just going to be straight up. I got in a fight with my mom the last day I was home with Jeremy. It led to a lot of <b>crying</b>, and then when I was alone... <i>binging</i>. I'm not going to bother bitching about how mean my mommy has been to me my whole life, I'm just going to move on and get back to being healthier. Just because <i>she </i>treats me with no respect, doesn't mean <i>I</i> have to lose all respect for myself, too. <b>I deserve to eat well and be healthy.</b> So, that's what I'm going to do.<div><br /></div><div>I'm so ready for school to start back up and give me a <b>routine </b>again. This weekend is the last trip I'll have, though, then <i>Jeremy is moving up here as soon as we get back</i>. I haven't been to the beach in over 3 years, so I'm reeeeally excited! Admittedly more excited about him moving, though. 8D</div><div><br /></div><div>Also, while I was gone, I got another blog award.

This is getting hard...</div><div><br /></div><div>1) I'm a junior at UNC-Asheville. I'm majoring in Psychology to eventually become a rehabilitation psychologist. I'm really passionate about this, too, because my cousin (he's a year younger than me and we'd become best friends in the years before this happened) spent 10 months of his life in rehab.</div><div>2) I've been dying my hair the darkest shade of brown (basically black) for almost 5 years now. I'll go red for a few months, but I always go back to black. (:</div><div>3) I have told two people in my life about this blog. I haven't let them see it, and they both live far away from me. Jeremy doesn't know I have it, nobody else knows. I think it's just something I want to have for me.</div><div>4) I work at K-Mart! hahaha Which, I regularly refer to as "K-Fart." I work on the floor, straightening clothes and whatnot. It gets old, things get on my nerves, but it's not the worst job I've ever had.</div><div>5) I've never had a tan! I have millions of freckles and I've been burned to many times to count... but, it's never resulted in a tan.</div><div>6) I was a virgin until I started dating Jeremy last year. This may seem weird to put on here, but it's rare to find a 19 year old virgin nowadays. He's the only person I've ever felt comfortable enough around to even let touch my stomach -- much less<i> see it</i> in all it's stretch marked glory.</div><div>7) I CAN NOT WAIT TO GET INTO THE 180s!!! I know I've probably pushed myself back into the high 190s, what with drying my tears with cheeseburgers for a couple days... but, I haven't been in the 180s since middle school. And that was short lived. So, I'm ready.</div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div>I feel like I might have already told you guys about some of those things, but I honestly can't remember. Here are 15 blogs that I'll pass this on to...</div><div><br /></div><div>1) Drazil @ <a href="http://justmedrazil.blogspot.com/">It's Just Me, Drazil, and Sheniqua</a></div><div>2) Kat @ <a href="http://blue-secrets.blogspot.com/">Secrets to Losing</a></div><div>3) Kenz @ <a href="http://alltheweigh2009.blogspot.com/">All the Weigh</a></div><div>4) Alexia @ <a href="http://www.mywickedwickedways.org/">my wicked, wicked ways</a></div><div>5) Fatty Blogsticks @ <a href="http://fattyblogsticks.blogspot.com/">Fatty Blogsticks</a></div><div>6) Kelly-Marie @ <a href="http://xokellbell.blogspot.com/">love, life, laughter</a></div><div>7) Jenn @ <a href="http://exhotgirl.blogspot.com/">Ex Hot Girl</a></div><div>8) Jen @ <a href="http://suckitinbuttercup.blogspot.com/">Suck It Up Buttercup!</a></div><div>9) Amy @ <a href="http://amybsweightlossblog.blogspot.com/">My journey to a size 6...</a></div><div>10) Taylor @ <a href="http://taynicole15.blogspot.com/">Tay's Life</a></div><div>11) Skinny Me! @ <a href="http://weightwatcher76.blogspot.com/">SKINNY ME!!!!!......Coming Soon :P</a></div><div>12) Maggie @ <a href="http://lookingforfeet.blogspot.com/">Looking For My Feet</a></div><div>13) Erin @ <a href="http://glamglitzgut.blogspot.com/">Glame, Glitz & Gut</a></div><div>14) Amber @ <a href="http://90days-to-fit.blogspot.com/">120 by 20</a></div><div>15) Emily @ <a href="http://tennis-beast.blogspot.com/">Athlete-In-Training</a></div><div><br /></div><div>I'll end this with a picture from the weekend.

Not that it really bothered me, I <i>eventually </i>got my check and I <i>eventually </i>got my fresh pack of birth control. Then I got in a<b> good workout</b>, and now I'm eating a good lunch. I just feel like I've lost a big chunk of my day. It's after 2, and I still need to finish eating, shower, pack, and get ready for work at 5. No biggie... just not much<i> down time </i>for me today. As soon as I get off work, I'm <b>headin' down the mountain</b> to my boy's house. <i>His dad's wedding is tomorrow</i>, so it's gonna be a fun, busy weekend. Jeremy's the best man!

(: And, here are 5 Likes/Dislikes of mine:</div><div><br /></div><div><b>Likes!</b></div><div>1) Affection -- I love to give gifts, make gifts, give hugs and kisses, all that. I'm definitely a lover. I can hardly keep my hands off Jeremy. (:</div><div>2) Alone time -- I love spending time with my friends, but I also really enjoy shopping and doing errands by myself. It's peaceful!</div><div>3) Books -- They take me to a different place, ya know? They can also hit home in a way that nothing else can and teach me things I didn't expect to learn. I love them.</div><div>4) Movies -- I'm always in the mood for a good thriller/horror movie, but any kind is great! Especially in a movie theater. Something about it just makes my night!</div><div>5) Dark chocolate -- A<i> notsoguilty</i> pleasure of mine. Mmm!</div><div><br /></div><div><b>Dislikes.</b></div><div>1) Ignorance -- Whether it's racism, sexism, gay bashing, whatever. I <i>can not</i> stand it. I live in the South and, I have to admit, there are more ignorant people than I'd like to deal with. It's hard for me to imagine having such a closed mind, and it really gets to me to say the least.</div><div>2) BUGS -- Ewww, they make me shudder!</div><div>3) Traffic -- Can't stand it! Maybe it's because I was in a bad wreck and all the other drivers make me nervous, but it puts me on edge.</div><div>4) Weird textures -- Mostly with food, I can't stand weird textures. haha Like mushrooms! Blech.</div><div>5) Losing things -- I definitely do this too much. I once lost two packs of birth control in a row. <i>WHO DOES THAT!?</i> How does that even happen!? Most of the time whatever I lost shows back up, but sometimes it doesn't. And it drives me crazy.</div><div><br /></div><div>Next topic of discussion: I'm starting the PEWC -- <b>The Positive Effect Water Challenge</b>.

He's from my home town and we actually had a class together my freshman year of high school, but I literally never even saw him again until after graduation. We started hanging out my freshman year of college and our whole relationship has been<span style="font-style: italic;"> long distance</span>, but he's moving to <span style="font-weight: bold;">Asheville </span>to go to school and be with me in <span style="font-style: italic;">47 days!</span> And, yes. I do have a countdown. XD He is the best thing that has ever happened to me and I can not wait for him to be in the same town as me. He has been there for me <span style="font-style: italic;">no matter what</span> and I can be totally open with him about my weight loss and that means so much to me. As you can see -- he's<span style="font-weight: bold;"> 150 pounds of muscle and bone</span>, so he has no idea what it's like to be overweight. But, he listens to me complain about how hard it is and congratulates me when I'm excited about doing well. I love him with my whole heart, I lost my virginity to him, and <span style="font-style: italic;">I can't imagine my future without him in it.</span></span><br /><br /><a style="font-family: trebuchet ms;" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEieE1bgmP6jpdd0SWiO6Ea30VgLzigbMyOokMwJ_rwS808hSh-AN425W2KKaiHNhXNWw2lIoDFbNH6YA9XQo711UNDD7GogeFSfOSw6E_2aFOHkE8uP4Ox9dzyOAZRdnnA_jgwC9vwwbHVb/s1600/applebees+009.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEieE1bgmP6jpdd0SWiO6Ea30VgLzigbMyOokMwJ_rwS808hSh-AN425W2KKaiHNhXNWw2lIoDFbNH6YA9XQo711UNDD7GogeFSfOSw6E_2aFOHkE8uP4Ox9dzyOAZRdnnA_jgwC9vwwbHVb/s320/applebees+009.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5488192094710203730" border="0" /></a></span><span style="font-size:78%;"><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">4)</span> I have a<span style="font-style: italic;"> bad history</span> with body image/dieting.

I'm studying psychology to eventually be a <span style="font-weight: bold;">rehabilitation psychologist</span>. My cousin, who is a year younger than me and has always been really close to me, ended up in a rehab facility across the country for 10 months during his junior year of high school. He's relapsed and is currently doing whatever he wants. I don't agree with how he was treated, it obviously didn't work, and I'm <span style="font-style: italic;">passionate </span>about changing the way things are done in that industry. Possibly more on that later.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">6)</span> <span style="font-weight: bold;">I LOVE TIE-DYE</span>. hahaha I really, really do.

Then again, my sinuses are killing me... so, I might require a <span style="font-weight: bold;">nap </span>before work. We'll just see how I feel. Hope everyone has a great day!<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">edit, 2:22 PM</span> -- Sinus headache is still <span style="font-style: italic;">raging </span>on, despite the medicine. I did about 30 minutes walking around, trying to find a dress for my birthday. Fail. So, I'm about to go back out to the mall and try to find something. Then work from <span style="font-weight: bold;">5-10</span>, so I'll get <span style="font-style: italic;">a lot</span> more walking done there. I'm just not feeling the gym today with this <span style="font-weight: bold;">sinus pressure</span>. I'll aim for <span style="font-style: italic;">an hour</span> of cardio again tomorrow!<br /><br />Oh!<span style="font-style: italic;">Exciting news!</span> Barbara @ <a href="http://barbgetshealthy.blogspot.com/">My Journey to Healthy Living</a> gave me a <span style="font-weight: bold;">Beautiful Blogger Award</span>!!
