I'm back for Easter, so I'll be here till Monday. Yay! I have to say, though, I really, really love it up there in that school. I've made some great friends already, and, just - everything is about learning to live a healthy life, and there are success stories all the time. Yesterday we all got weighed. Turns out I'd lost 4 pounds in one week! One guy had lost 14(!), but, well, he's huge so it was to be expected. Plus, he works his ass off up there. I can't tell you how motivating it is to see someone as big as him (I'm guessing he's around 320 lbs or so) push himself to work as hard as he can. There is nothing lazy about that boy. It's so, so awesome.
It's amazing, honestly. To laugh so much in just one day. I laugh all the time, and I feel good about the changes that I'm making. I'm not saying everything is picture perfect, but things are definitely better.
Oh! I gotta take pictures and show them to you guys soon, because oh. It is SO beautiful up there. I can't even begin to tell you. So, yeah, pictures should be coming sometime soon. :) And now I meme, because I haven't memed in a while:
