“Criticism fulfils the same function as pain in the human body. It calls attention to an unhealthy state of things."

Do me a favor...before you continue reading....make the song louder.

Ok, that's better. Last night when I was working at the hotel, someone asked me if I was pregnant.
"You gonna have a lil one?", she asked.
"Excuse me?", I shockingly replied.
"You pregnant? Cuz you look it."

Wow, thank you. I cannot tell you the hurt that brings to a person who struggles with self esteem especially when asked the one week of the month it is hardest to feel good! I did the best I can to deal with it. And, to be honest, I thought I did quite well. Boyfriend's encouragement and comforting words did help but I don't think I can speak this story out loud. I am trying to use this as motivation.

Well...I needed that extra push to motivate me, right? That's what I wrote about just yesterday. I guess be careful what you ask for!

So, let's focus on the positive. Sunday marks the beginning of the 3rd week for me. I can feel a difference but I don't know how the numbers are reflecting that. And in this case, the number is important! I am positive of these numbers though...
$ Per Pound = 125.58
Flat Rate Donations = $475

This is a great deal of money and this is even a little inaccurate. I have a few names down without the exact amount they are donating. Actually, about 10 people to be more accurate. I am still accepting donations so if want to donate or if you can pass this on to more people you know...please help! I think my school is going to collect mission money for us one week. I will also be able to use that as donation money.

In closing, please don't ask anyone if they are pregnant unless you already know they are! Just another thing guys don't have to deal with!!!
