Oh, and I'm trying to buy plane tickets to Arisia. I could get them now for $150 US out of Buffalo, or I can wait and hope for a better deal. But if I wait, it might go UP! It's already gone up once (from 100 pretax etc. to 137 US).

Please feel free to give me your own two cents, although I reserve the right to ignore it. :)

Gah. I feel fat. Correction. I AM fat. I weighed over 200 lbs today on the scale, albeit after dinner with all my clothes on. At a height of 5'2", that's just plain FAT.

I need to diet, but there's tons of chocolate in the house. Maybe I should ask my parents to keep it in their room.

I need to work out, but I don't have a club membership here, and I'm still coughing something awful, which makes me apprehensive about working out.

Do you work out when you are still coughing and occasionally wheezing? Maybe with a puff of the ol' albuterol/ventolin beforehand?

I feel self-conscious about going out and meeting all the new people here looking like I do. None of my casual clothing (except the fabulous fuzzy red booty pants) fit right or well. I know this is a self-destructive attitude, but, well... yeah.

Anyway, I think I kept on telling myself that I was going to start dieting more seriously when I got here, since it is easier to keep to the diet living with your family than on your own eating out often. So I guess I'll attempt to start that tomorrow and see what happens. Maybe I'll start posting weigh-ins in order to force myself to be honest.
