Journal Entry for January 18, 2008 Mood
Friday, January 18, 2008

 Today was, yet again, a good day. Unlike yesterday, I did think about my weight and was embarassed by it in front of my best friend, but for the most part, today was positive.

   I know many of you have no desire to hear about my day in full, but I think that it helps relieve tension by letting everything out, so here goes!

  My day was started by waking up with a friend, no more than a friend, a soul-mate ( Chantelle ) . She and I spent half of the day just hanging out around the farm, which was a breath of relaxing air.

  The only trouble I had today was with my image. I had an interview today for a new job, and it warranted my dressing up a little. I put on my clothes, and found myself staring into the abyss of my mirror, looking at my gruesome stomach. For those of you who haven't read my previous posts, my stomach is my worst enemy. I think it is secretly affiliated with major Al Queda groups in hopes of terrorizing me out of my mind. I stare into the mirror- stained with little dots of dust and moisture- and see my bulbous belly pushing through my already tight sweater. How embarassing and cold to keep having to stretch my sweater at the belly to try and "hide" it's appearance. I hate it. I really do. 

   But anyway, I commenced that horrible event with a sleu of odd tasks which included, but weren't limited to; Cleaning the downstairs family room, filling out another application, chug down 3 or 4 energy drinks, keep an eye on my sisters and their friends ( yikes ), and have dinner with the family. Oh, I also stared adoringly at this month's copy of Details magazine. My dream man is on the cover this month. One guess: The headline reads, "Meet Disney's Boy Wonder"

 Goodnight and LOVE!

    My day was kind of similar.
    I had fun, but I had self image issues today.
    My acne, and just the way I looked bothered me.
    You don't look like you have a weight problem at all.
    Just think, you are AWESOME!

    You HAVE to move past that, Matt...you looked really handsome today and you did not look FAT at all :)

    Now, I have never seen your stomach.
    For all I know it could be as flat as a slate.
    But to be quite honest...if you do have a small tummy....I've always been one to think that a stomach adds character.
    So next time you look in the mirror and pick out everything that you (and you alone!) find as flaws...think to yourself - "this is part of me. The shape of my stomach is what makes me- me."
