ILU.

So I've decided that I want to get back into the swing of things as far as my lifestyle and eating habits are concerned.

Almost hmm 3 years ago, I hadn't been feeling well and went to the Dr.  They said nothing was wrong but I knew something needed to change in my life to live a completely, healthy life; so I signed myself up at a gym and started going 4 days a week, 2 hours each time.  Eating 3 meals a day and limiting myself to eating only grilled chicken, some fish, veggies, fruits, and almonds.  I quit drinking alcohol, fast food and fried foods. 
From July 7 until December of 2006, I lost almost 60 lbs. and went down 4 pant sizes. I felt amazing, was looking amazing and life was really positive. 

Then, when I least expected it, I had met someone, and my concern was more on her than on me and my health. I didn't go to the gym as much and I started eating when she ate, and what she ate and well... she broke my heart within a few months and I became depressed. I ate whatever I wanted to, and eventually ran off to Ecuador for the Summer, studied at USFQ and never went to the gym (although I walked almost everywhere that I went). 

As I came back to the US, I continued on this path, I rarely went to the gym, continued to eat - spent a year playing mind games with someone whom I loved, only to get hurt in the long run and become more depressed about my situation.

I vowed to myself, that after her, I'd never fall so hard. That I'd never fall for someone, the way I fell for her. That this pain isn't worth it to feel again. I had quite a few relationships after her, mostly just physical, a few were emotional, but nothing significant. 

I added more jobs to my schedule, and between class, jobs and well, you know... life, my lack to pursue a healthier lifestyle ceased.  

I gained that 60 lbs. back and when I look in the mirror, sometimes I feel like I look worse than before I had started losing that weight. 

I told myself that after my internship year, I was going to dedicate time to working out, eating right and becoming the person I was before.

And that leads me to where I am today. Right now. 

6 months ago, I started seeing someone -- it was really unexpected - I told myself that I didn't have time for a relationship or just physical or whatever this was becoming. I was determined that I needed to be single because my goal was to be able to move out of Michigan by August.

Thanks to this beautiful woman, I got my membership to a gym and I've started going again. I've spoken to a family friend who had that lap-band surgery (sp?) and realized that I don't need surgery to change -- I can do this on my own -- and I WILL. 

A day after our 6 month mark (or rather this past weekend), the person I was seeing broke everything off between us.  Via the phone, mind you.  Somewhat coerced, but still unnecessary. 

Right now I'm in a lot of pain. I told this person, 2 weeks ago, that I am in love with her. I fell again. Hard. My plans have slowly changed and now I want to stay in Michigan at least for another year- my family is here, my friends are here. I can continue living in the armpit of the United States for another year... or so...

Everything was going really well -- I was on a high, and then this. I don't know where it all came from.  I still haven't spoken to her in person. Who knows if I will get an opportunity to do so. 

So right now I'm at this pivotal time in my life -- I am trying to make change, throughout a process of being sad and losing someone whom I thought loved me. 

I'm at this middle ground - because I'm happy in one aspect but sad in another -- and I'm trying to rationalize it all so that I can continue on. 

I don't want this to be a long, lonely summer - nor a depressing one. And I'd love for it to be more than just work, work, work.

So this is it. I just felt like I should write out my thoughts because whenever I was emotional in the past, I would write in my old Livejournal and it always helped. 

ILU.

I never realized how far life can throw you one way and CRASH you in another direction in a second... until this past year. 

I always question the meaning of life and why I sometimes bother with continuing. It's a depressing thought, yes, but really... what AM I hear for.

Talking to my friend said the above statement and what I got in return:
"you know i think the same thing, but the fact of the matter is that there isnt really a better option. u cant just opt out of parts of life, its an all or nothing kinda deal. and think about all the lady gaga concerts you would miss if you choose nothing."

Bienvenidos.

I am starting to blog here. Probably will do random things like talk about music, life and things that make my head swell.

Enjoy.
