Well, I guess my nutritionist was right, because I seem to have stopped menstruating. Again. My advice to you folks out there: don't develop an eating disorder.

In spite of the crappiness of having a physical sign to show me my diet has been unhealthy, I do know that now I'm on the right track, and I do feel hopeful.

i love your advice about just having feelings and letting them be. definitely a life lesson i hope to learn.

we should, like, take a walk through the park holding hands in the sunshine and try to make ourselves feel good about our lives. smile

Take care of yourself...Im glad you are on the right track.

I've been pretty depressed. I don't feel like myself, think like myself, or sound like myself when I'm like this.

I've perked up a bit for the moment because I just came back from a good workout. My "perking up" often starts with anger.

I need to say "fuck you" more often. Some people really deserve it, and if, instead of caring about how they...

I'm not really busy, we just happen to be area code incompatible. I honestly wish we were closer to each other.

But the baboon part was AMAZING.

You... my dear... shouldn't shoulder the burden of pain and sorrow. Leave that to the professionals. I'd rather see you carefree and happy in this life.

Give me all your garmonbozia...

One of the teachers asked me the other day what made me interested in martial arts. I didn't have a ready answer, but I thought about it. I think I'm interested for two reasons. One is that I've always felt like a fighter, in the personal sense. I've struggled with some things in my life, and for the most part I've come out the winner:...

No need to thank me. My daughter just stated the obvious. I'm glad that her comment lifted your spirits. But no more than the fact that you've ben lifting my spirits since I've known you.

I was sure to tell my daughter that you were also beautiful in other ways.

thanks.

When I see a friend struggling with a destructive addiction, I want to give that friend all the support I felt I didn't have in the beginning of my recovery from my eating disorder. No one deserves to go through a difficult time alone. I'm thankful for my own experience, the bad times and the better ones, for teaching me to respect my needs, showing...

Sounds uplifiting. Something I need to try.

I'm so happy to read this. Any involvement in physical fitness is a huge boost to one's mental health. I miss the gym. I stopped going due to monetary concerns. I still try to get out and do certain things, like walking. Now I have to try to get back to my healthy diet from last year.

I appreciate my familly more than ever in these troubled times. I also appreciate the friends I've made here, of ehich you're definitely in that category. It's amazing how much you've all helped me. Who knew a year ago that it would be this way?

I hope your health and outlook continue to head in a positive direction. You're my friend and I care about you very much.

Tonight was my first Taekwondo/Hapkido class, and I loved it. I think Taekwondo is something I could actually become good at, and I liked the people at this school a lot. First of all, the grandmaster is very accessible and actually goes around and gives students personal attention. And there were these two cute black belt boys in the class today who were like, "I...

I'm feeling more physically healthy than I have in a very long time. I'm thinking about getting back to kung fu, or maybe hapkido.

Back from San Francisco and feeling that end of vacation sadness. I'm going to miss my brother.

And it's amazing the kinds of tricks my mind can play on me. Lately, depression has been telling me two somewhat contradictory things: 1) I'm hideous and 2) people only like me because they're physically attracted to me and want to have sex with me. It follows that...

I'm leaving San Francisco early tomorrow morning. When I get back to New York, I can upload all my photos, and you can expect a photo-filled entry.

My time here has been nice. I've explored the city, chatted with lots of interesting and inspiring people, and spent quality time with my brother.

Negotiating my meds with the time difference has been a little difficult, and...

Tomorrow: California, here I come! I'm excited to get away from New York (and the cold weather!) and to see my brother, his girlfriend, and some Bay Area friends. Plus, I've never been to San Francisco, and everyone who's been there and knows me predicts that I'll love it. Maybe I'll abscond permanently.

In other news, one of my favorite Japanese businessmen (an ESL student)...

I'm working in San mateo and I usually don't get off of work until late - are you here though the weekend?

Oh, don't worry-we did talk. I just didn't have the talk I wanted to, but he did seem receptive when I told him about the high percentage of genetic material we share with chimpanzees.smile

If you ever want to run away to Tokyo, let me know. That's my plan B if this recession hits me too hard...there will always be work for non-Asian exotic women there.tongue
