Current Weight: 184ish

I've been not here, obviously. I would go into it in more detail, but it's actually pretty boring stuff, I'd say. And really, most blogs are about boring stuff, but that's for another day.

When I was in Japan last year, my lack of a reliable (free) internet connect really stymied my ability to record what was going on. And then, Blogger's picture organizing for a post was just really lackluster and generally poor, which made me less likely to try to use it. I do apologize.
To who, I am unsure, as I'm fairly certain that no one reads this.

I have no problem with this fact. ^^

With the new school year starting today, I'm hoping to put this blog and its original purpose back to use, unless some unforeseen things keep me from it.

About the weight-issue thing: Hmn...how do I feel about gaining most of it back? I'm obviously unhappy about it, but there were things at play that I had little control over, which I've reconciled. The only plus side is that I know how long it took me to lose what I lost before, so I'm not too bummed. At least, not in a super tangible way, anyway. Sure, I'd love to look good in a swim suit sometime, and I'll get there. But there's no point dwelling on what isn't yet. All that that does is depress, and being down about it won't help at all.

I just got back from a trip to Florida. It was a nice trip. I got to hang out with some friends of mine and made some new ones. I also ate a ton of seafood, but didn't gain any weight, really. I think at most I gained a pound. And, somehow, after all that, I'm now able to fit into a size smaller than I used to. At least, some of them. I hate women's sizes in America. Size 10? What is that? I used to be a size 10. I'm just now able to fit into a size 12 again. But there are some of my size "12"s that feel more like a 10 at other places. It's obvious the dimensions for these sizes aren't set in stone. And this nearly fluid ability to adjust sizes is just messed up. It's a mind trick-- and a mean one at that.

You can say all you want that the cut and fabric factor in, but in reality, the sizes are different depending on what store you're in. I hate this so much it makes my head hurt if I bother to consider it for more than a few moments. Am I joking? I'm not entirely sure at this point.

All I know is that I can fit into at least a few of my size 12 pants now, and that has me esctatic. Especially since they're the really good looking ones. Also, winter is coming soon, and most of my nice winter pants are size 12ish, so it's good that I'll look good in them. At the very least, I won't be uncomfortable in them.
