I couldn't sleep. I don't know why. Usually I easily fall into deep slumber these days. I guess I have been pondering on a lot of things lately; constantly assesing and reassesing how I feel about this and that. Oh well, nevermind about that. I know for a fact that women are wired to function in a more complicated manner than men.
Yesterday, though, was a happy day for me. It was our 7th month of being married. Most people do not even celebrate these things or even take time to remember. I always do remember (maybe because most of us back then tend to take note of monthsaries). My husband told me he'd pick me up after his work so we could go buy the things we needed for the condo. So I got dressed and waited. I met him at our gate and entered the car...and he surprised me with flowers :)
I found it sweet...but everyday, he makes sure that I am always happy...which is one thing I love about him. He considers my feelings about everything...a lucky thing for most women.
Anyway, another thing that surprised me is this:
My mom keeps telling me I'm fat. Okay, I gave birth. I gained a total of 26 lbs during my pregnancy, and lost 13 right after birth. And lost another 5lbs 8 weeks post partum. Now at 10 weeks post, I lost another 2 pounds. I only have 6 more pounds to lose...still she keeps telling me I'm fat. I don't know if it's to motivate me but it's not helping. It only makes me paranoid and have episodes wherein I sulk and my husband would insist that I am not fat. Which led to an emergency fitting of clothes. Oh, maybe that's why I couldn't sleep...hehehe. I took out my old jeans...and anything else without garters...to my surprise...they fit! THEY ACTUALLY FIT! Two weeks ago, they wouldn't even close. That kind of cheered me up. Lesson is: Do not believe my mom when it comes to this. I will believe my husband.
I also find it impossible to believe my mom, because I have been eating a majority of lettuce for a month now. I can't go anorexic all over again because now, I have two people to take care of. And I also think that I am too old for that kind of stupidity.
In other news, I am looking forward to Starbucks' peppermint coffee wich is only available during Christmas season...just saying.
