Today is an exciting day. When I came home I decided to try on some pants from home and the outcome was so relieving. For the past couple of week I have been really watching what I eat and when. My problem here is when I eat; sometimes I will eat at eight or so. While in Korea I found out that I have already lost forty pounds and I want to lose more. Klaralyn and I figured it out and decided on forty pounds. Anyway, so for the past week or so I have noticed I lost more weight because cloths I wore in Korea are already big on me. What I have been doing is not eating after lunch. So I only have two meals. If I eat anything after lunch its fruit or vegetables, nothing big and before four o’clock.
Losing weight here is a lot easier because I am continually reminded how much bigger I really am. I know down in my heart I won’t ever be a size 0 because of my bone structure, but I know I can get down to a more healthy weight and be more confident. One thing I have missed about home is people’s comments. Losing weight for me is a huge deal, and though little comments here and there are nice to have. No one here comments me. Ben and Kim did at the beginning of the year, but now all I hear, “Katrina you are really losing your weight.” I guess it sucks that people don’t comment, but at the same time it’s nice because I know without the comments it makes me strive for them, if that makes any sense. None the less I am losing weight and it makes me happy. I just wish I could find more clothes at the Russian market. The Russian market is where Katrina and I buy all our clothes. They make American sizes for really cheap. The only problem is that you literally have to fight your way into the market and grab what you want. Setting clothes down is not an option. Just think of the huge sale days at home. Just imagine how the women are literally fighting over a dress, this should give you an idea. Barging is my favorite. I have gotten to the point of getting things down half the price they want; love getting nice clothes for cheap. I guess I just get so tired of being ripped off that I want what I want at the price I want. If any of you come to Cambodia for a visit I can take you their and get you want you want at the price you want.
