I started a weight loss journal in the hopes that I could actually do it for once, and continue to keep it off. I feel like my self-esteem is tied into my weight. So, in the hope of actually doing something instead of sitting on my ass like always, here I am. Let’s see if I can shake myself out of this slump.

How I did it: I have it easy as I live in New York (Long Island), but I was sixteen when I first saw it. Instead of a sweet sixteen, I asked for a weekend in the city in a hotel. I kept asking my mother for Wicked tickets, but she wouldn't tell my anything.The day of my sixteenth birthday, I've finished opening my gifts and we're about to get ready to pack up to go see sights and then go home. Then my mom gave me a card that had the Wicked tickets (one… Read how I did it…
How I did it: I enrolled in two semesters of American Sign Language at my school. My first semester, we started off slow, learning letters, numbers, "Hi, my name is," and other basic lines. I felt pretty good about how I did.My second semester, we immediatly jumped into it, but it helped to learn at a quicker pace. While I'm a little rusty on the more advanced signs, I can have a pretty good conversation without needing to fingerspell any words. Read how I did it…
I’ve been “planning” my twenty-first birthday for months now. We’ve (my family, friends, and I) have discussed what we’re going to do. On my actual birthday (a saturday), we’re going midnight bowling. They have a bar there, and the bartender is our favorite (hopefully he’s still there, haha). Then a couple weeks later, we’re going to Foxwoods to play at the casino since I’ve been wanting to go for years now (but since I’m under 21, I can only play bingo, and that’s no fun for three days).
I’m worried (ha, another one of my goals) that some or all of it isn’t going to happen- that even if it does, that something is going to come up and some part of it is going to be screwed up.
So, my goal is to just enjoy my 21st no matter what may come. I’ll go by myself if that’s what has to happen. But no matter what, I’ll have fun even if it means by myself, with friends and family, or just relaxing the day away.
