Remembering Others

By: Mona
.......................


Google Buzz

I had such a busy weekend. I got contract work to get done for a co-worker at work. His wife’s uncle passed away and they are having a memorial service for him next weekend. So I am making a DVD presentation for her. So I spent the weekend making this DVD. I was going through all the pictures and placing them in order of life events and I thought to my self, if I die will people remember me and make me a DVD too? Will they have speeches prepared and a memorial service. I doubt it. I think it is just a nice gesture though. So I spent the weekend doing this, it was a lot of work, but I think it looks nice. Multimedia presentations are the only things that I can do nicely.

So other than that, I was remembering my self. How I used to look like and pictures from my late teens. Good times. Unlike now.

So one day about couple of months ago I decided to join the gym. It’s daily aerobics class. I like music and dancing and it is fun. I just wanted to loose weight quickly and look the way I was when I was 18. Crazy idea eh? The problem is I was too skinny and fit. I was obsessed with gym back then and didn’t eat much. I didn’t even drink coffee or eat sweets much. However, the depression the past 3 – 4 years killed me. I started binge eating continually and drinking so much coffee and drinking caffeinated drinks. So should I say how much weight I gained within a 6 month period about 3 years ago? I gained 40 pounds. Ridiculous I know. I was uncontrollable, and I was too depressed to do anything about it. It was sad, and my job didn’t help since I sat on my ass for 8 hours a day. So sad. So I decided that I can slowly loose the weight. I don’t want to be a vegetarian with 2 hour work out sessions daily. That’s not going to help my situation.

Yes, I did say I was vegetarian back there. I was 19 or 20. I didn’t eat meat for 6 months. Amazing isn’t it. Now I don’t eat meat much. I eat mostly chicken. I eat lamb occasionally cause I love it. I had to stop my vegetarianasim because my dad thought it was “haram”, (sinful) because only Sikhs and other non-believers do that. So I was like fine, whatever, bring on the lamb! :D Can’t resist lamb, 6 months was plenty of time!

Other than that, I have been pretty good. Nothing really exciting in my life. Just the daily boring routines.

    I didn’t know some people consider vegetarianism sinful. That’s news to me. Personally, I have to have my red meat at least once or twice a week otherwise I am craving it. Strange isn’t but I think it is the iron that my body wants. Right now I probably could go for a cheeseburger. :yum:

    Why do you think being a vegeterian helps you lose weight? You need the protien in meat, red meat, nothign compensates fpr that, even the protiens in beans or other vegetables. It’s important to build up your muscle mass, and you know muscles in the body burn 8 times calories as fat

    Although i do not know how you look like or seen pictures of you, I think you still look good even after the 40 pound gain, because i assume you were VERY skinny!!! i hope that you lose the extra undesirable weight gain and you feel better about yourself. even with your daily “boring” routine, you managed to write an exciting post! :)
    Have a happy Monday!
