takes two to tango

the human body is made up of 90% water.

now if i can only keep up this grueling task of drinking all this water without feeling like the water's going back up my throat.

i've been wracking the internet for sites that will tell me how to lose 5lbs in 3 days. and this is what i've proudly come up with:

"See. If you drink eight glasses of water (and add one glass for every 20 pounds of overweight you have) a day -- divided more or less evenly throughout the day -- your body will GIVE UP those 5-10 lbs. of water it currently RETAINS."

5-10 lbs! did you read that? wow... if i don't end up drowning myself, i could even lose 10 lbs of water!

how sad is that?
after that, i'll just have to start exercising and eating right. i have to start fitting into my clothes again.

agenda. phase one.

there was this one strip in the archie comic book series where veronica woke up one morning feeling like she stepped off a cloud. and it's all flowery and pink. a beautiful morning in other words.

then she goes and does the first of her morning rituals.

she steps on the scale.

next scene, is the whole lodge manor awakened by a shrill scream.

veronica, as the strip so colorfully depicted, gained 5lbs.

that's how i felt this morning. i wanted to scream. no actually, i was shocked that the weight i was seeing on the scale was still the same weight i saw the other day when i thought i just had water retention.

just a few days back, people were complementing me on how i look like i lost weight. i was just thinking then how they couldn't be more than wrong. i had already gained 3 lbs then, but still people said i lost weight.

now, aside from the fact that i, myself, could see the weight gain, someone else did as well.

WHY?!?!?!

i swear i'm not having dinner tonight. too much rice is already my downfall. waaaaaaaaaaaah! i think i need more veggies as well. my innards aren't clean. i think that's also a huge chunk of the weight there. cos my weight gain is entirely too rapid.

bear with me.

the last time i weighed like this was when i was in college and fresh out of the hospital. now i have no excuse.

agenda set.

do you have those days where you just can't seem to keep your eyes open?

i seem to be having those days in spades.

the whole week i found myself falling asleep at my desk 'cos i was so bored. i was seeing double. the last time this happened to me was in college in my philosophy class.

i haven't had my dose of caffeine for the day. in fact, i'm trying to cut down on my caffeine. basically because my choice of coffee is laden with cream, sugar, and chocolate--you know what that spells.

and in any case, too much of caffeine is bad for my skin and it already looks like hell to begin with. specially with this derma medication finally beginning to work. (i think my skin's being burnt)

i'm a certified coffee addict.
but the coffee's not working.
it lets me gain weight.
it wreaks havoc on my skin.

and i only have one sachet. i think i'll need to bring two to keep me up.
