			<description><![CDATA[Oh you bastard.  

Friday, the day after I decided 'this is it' you noticed that I was due for my period and registered a 5 pound gain, over-freakin'-night!

You have no compassion for the hormonally challenged.  

Didn't you realize I was already emotionally fragile, crying over every stupid little thing that frustrated me, trying to keep it together and fake happiness so that my students, who can SMELL emotions, don't realize that the teacher is vulnerable?  

I want to say, "Of course you didn't - you are, after all, a creation of plastic, metal, some ingenious wiring, and a couple of batteries. You couldn't possibly be choosing to purposely torture me when I'm already irritable because of PMS." 

But I know better - you are a demon in disguise, skulking there beside the water-heater in my laundry room, gleefully anticipating the next opportunity to crush me. I know this in the depths of my soul and yet you beckon to me like an abusive lover, promising that this time will be different; you croon "PMS is over - I bet those five pounds are gone by now! Come back to me and I'll show you..." and I have a sick need to comply even though I know you are lying - I know you are going to be brutal. I can feel it when I try to zip up the jeans that usually fit - you are going to smile and coo until I get to you, then you are going to pounce and rip out my jugular.  

I hate you but I have to see you.  I have to know.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Nov 9, 2009
Started my newest attempt at losing this weight last week. Worked extremely hard, on encumbent bike and eliptical every day, ate healthy, logged my food and then the WEEKEND! I do all that work to just gain it back on the weekend. Well, the weekend is over and I am going to let it go and try to focus harder from Friday-Sunday since I know that is my weak time. It is just soooooo hard when you have 4 kids to feed and my husband, who I love dearly, but doesn't even attempt to help me stay on track. I'm glad he's happy with my body and doesn't see any need in me wanting to change it, but I am not happy and he gripes about that so you'd think he'd help me. I said I was going to leave that behind, didn't I? Well, new week new me! :)]]></description>
