(no subject)
Thought I might enter something new in to this LJ, finally.
It seems strange to do a life update since I haven't written anything else. Apart from a private entry with a tickr. My dreads are 14 months and 5 days old.
Tomorrow my lovely boyfriend and I are going to see his parent's. I've never met them and he hasn't seen them in two years now. They live in a small coastal town called Pacific Palms. It's going to rain the whole time, I'm so excited. If there's anything I hate, it's the beach.. Except when it's raining. I was speaking to one of my American buddies about my plans for the week and she thought all Australian's loved it - no, false. Especially with dreads.. Sand has always bothered me, as much as swimming in ocean water with god knows what lurking in there. Craig and I have been together for almost 4 months now, and in that 4 months I've lost 4kg's. I know it's no huge amount, but in the past year I've lost 12 all up, and 14 since I became a fatty. Normally I would put weight on at the start of a relationship, though not this time - and that's my point. I can't buy clothes because I keep shrinking out of them and wasting money. So I went from a size 14 to a 10, but now 10 is too big. I'll buy clothes again when I hit size 7. I weigh 58Kg, and my heaviest was 72Kg. Before that I was at 52kg for the majority of my late teenage years. I can't discuss this with my girlfriends because they get the shits at me.. The only thing I actually changed was my attitude. I stopped caring and accepted that I had put on a heap, and stopped feeling sorry for myself. Now it's disappearing almost effortlessly. However, for the last few days I've been working out on the cross trainer in the gym my brother set up at home, it sucked at first since the only exercise I've ever done is walking. I've never used any piece of equipment before so it's totally strange for me, but I'm enjoying it - and apparently that's important.
My job finished too yesterday. For the past 4 and a half years I have been taking care of the Police/Red Light/Speed film department at work. Ultimately, it all turned to digital so I've been replaced by a machine. I have been off work since the 22nd of December, until The 6th of January, then the 7th and the 10th. Now I'm off work again until the 31st of January. I've never had this much time off work, ever. I usually work through Christmas. It's insane, I'm so bored already. My new job will be awesome though, I have some new roles in the company (A photography company) that I really really look forward to. I need challenges, my last job was so mundane. But I stuck it out cause I'm a trooper.
That's all for now.
