(completely unrelated photo, but it's one of my favorite ones i've taken, ever)

i can't believe i've lost 9 freakin' pounds so far. i haven't been in the 130s since i was little (sad, i know. it was a combo of my grandmother force feeding me and meds that contained steroids :/). i'm so proud of myself. it's so weird to look in the mirror and see my collarbones a little and see my face a little bit slimmer.

too bad i just ate a slice of pizza at my grandmother's house and i only have 122 calories left over to eat today. DDDDD:
and then went i went into her kitchen:

her: "hey baby, there's more pizza! :D
me: oh no, i'm fine big mommy!
her: there's also ice cream in the freezer!
me: oh...uh i'm good! :]

dang if i ate everything she offered me, i'd be eating well over 3000 calories a day. x_x
</boring calorie+weight loss crap>

anyway, i love that it's spring. the weather has been beautiful and with daylight savings time, it's still bright out when it's 7pm. i absolutely love it. i'm not looking forward to the summer heat though. ugh. i detest it. all heat above 75 degrees and humidity is evil.

congrats on the weight loss!! isn't it so rewarding when you can actually spot changes?

I'm pretty much over weight for the same reasons... I would eat like everything when I would go to my grammas house as a kid.

although, i'm still really bad at watching what I eat, so I'm just exercising haha

and the weather was lovely today!

Ugh, calories are a bitch to count, huh? I gave up waaaay back, but I admire you for your perseverance, Sade. :P Hang in there, and before you know it, you'll be down to the 130s! ^^

[xradiostatic.livejournal.com]

ugh they are. i have a little scale to weigh food in my kitchen and it's so annoying how i have to weigh stuff instead of just piling stuff on my plate. XD

aw thanks sa. :]
(lol i just realized your name is basically the first half of my name. :P)

[sansogateun.livejournal.com]

I gave up after realizing I'll never be able to lose weight, but I never seem to gain weight either. So that's a good thing, I guess? :X

Yay! Actually, Sa isn't my real name, just one that I like to go by online. So fake, huh? But I do have a lot of affinity with the name 'Sa' anyway. I'm Chinese, but my name in Korean would be Sa Min (which is why I picked it). And my real name's Angel, which would be Cheon Sa ('Sa' again!) in Korean too. LOL... So there you go, the history of my online moniker. Not that you asked. -.-"

But I love your name! The only other Sade I know is the singer, who seemed kind of cool. LOL...

[xradiostatic.livejournal.com]

yeah that's a good thing too, haha. it's better to just stay the same weight instead of gaining!

ah i see. nah a lot of people go by fake names online. it's probably best that way to keep things more private. LOL no, i liked the explanation for your online name! i love hearing about the stories behind names (whether they're real names or online ones).

thanks! my parents named me after the singer. i have her last name as my middle name (yeah they really, really loved her name). :]

[sansogateun.livejournal.com]

Though it'd be good to get rid of the flab. T_T That's why I like to cover my arms. LOL...

Now it's your turn to tell me why you chose 'xradiostatic'! :)

LOL... Your parents must have been huge fans of hers. I wonder if she ever knew that you were named after her? :D

[xradiostatic.livejournal.com]

the reason why i chose xradiostatic is really random. XD
i was in the car one day with my parents and the music on the radio just cut out and all this static came on. all of a sudden, i was like "woaaah that'd be a cool username" and added "x" to the beginning 'cause it was popular at the time. LOL omg i've had this lj forever....

haha i wonder if she does! XD
if she does know, she needs to lend me some money to pay tuition since i'm her namesake and all, LOL.

by the way, i LOVE your icon because i have that camera and i have intense love for it. ♥

[sansogateun.livejournal.com]

Oh god, don't remind me of my other LJ (yeah, that's for my RL friends who complain too much about my fangirling). It's like the most childish thing I ever came up with, and I was 16 then. -.-" I think I have the mentality of a 10-year-old child. LOL...

Maybe you could write in and get her to send you money? :D Or! You could offer to be her personal photographer and log her daily activities, so when she releases a book, you get part of the royalties too! :D

My icon? Awww, thanks! I like how cameras look and all, but I'm a dummy at it. My brother's the camera-whore (not camwhore. :P) and he has like 4-5 of the film kinds. I liked your photoshoot results too! The light and everything was awesome. :)

[xradiostatic.livejournal.com]

THANK YOU BB. :D

[rigmaarole.livejournal.com]

Loving the sky! :D It looks painted! XD

Congrats on your weight loss! I've been trying to control my diet recently as well, doesn't seem to be very successful though because everytime I see Nutella on the kitchen table I just can't resist. :P

[xradiostatic.livejournal.com]

thanks baoxin. :D
omg yeah i can't resist some things either, like cinnamon rolls. XD
so i just have half, although i want the whole thing with a huge class of milk, haha.

*flails over your YB icon*

[reverberates.livejournal.com]

congrats on losing the weight! I know i need to tighten up what I eat again
That photo is marvelous .... like God opening the sky

[xradiostatic.livejournal.com]

thank you! :]]]
yeah, it reminds me of the same thing. i thought of heaven when i took it.

[ohh-honeybee.livejournal.com]

*is absolutely mesmerized by the intense beauty that is that photograph*

[xradiostatic.livejournal.com]

aw thanks bb. i was mesmerized looking at the sky the day i took it. it was beautiful. *_*

[ohh-honeybee.livejournal.com]

it's gorgeous. it's like God parted the clouds to show the way to heaven or something. i wish the sky looked like that around here. =[

[xradiostatic.livejournal.com]

aww. well i hope that when the sky looks like that where you are, you're able to experience it. :]

i live in dirty old chicago (♥), so i'm sure you'll be able to see a sky like this where you are at least once. XD

[xradiostatic.livejournal.com]

and yay you pulled out the saso icon. :P

[ohh-honeybee.livejournal.com]

yeah, i hope so too. but, alas, i doubt the sky ever looks that good over delaware. then again, there's always the beach to take pictures of. ;)

and hell yes. i did. XP

[learbre.livejournal.com]

yay for being in the 130s now
i like that picture.
it reminds me of religion for some reason :)

[xradiostatic.livejournal.com]

thanks. :D
yeah it reminds me of heaven.

[maliciousmotive.livejournal.com]

Ughhhhh why are so amazing at taking pictures? Jealousy! I'm actually thinking of making that the background of my laptop. It's so pretty. Do you mind? D:

Congrats on the weightloss! I totally feel you on the steroids...basically the reason I have gained weight (and not been able to fully get it off) is because I took steroids for like, a year and a half. Sucks.

[xradiostatic.livejournal.com]

awww thanks olga! of course you can make it your desktop. :]

ugh i will forever hate steroids. they like...make the fat permanent or something. D:

[maliciousmotive.livejournal.com]

aww ty :) I know some people are like...possessive about their art or whatever. i promise if anyone asks i will tell them that my amazing photographer friend sade took the picture :P

yeah they do. i can't really remember why but it has something to do with cortisol production ("steroids" are actually corticosteroids which are different than anabolic steroids) which messes with the endocrine system and makes you gain weight. sucks ballsies.

[bambinainnero.livejournal.com]
