and i am as square as you get. heck, i'm a cube. i am addicted to social media. twitter, tumblr, omegle, facebook, skype, you name it. i LOVE it. i spend hours and hours of my life sitting at this dumb blue desk attached to my wall, clicking buttons and reading words--truly, looking at things that don't exist. it's all lights and megapixels on a screen. it's a distraction of things that don't matter and are not real. i live for facebook--commenting on posts, posting statuses, making announcements on groups and events. agh, it's hurting my teeth just thinking about all the things i'm missing out on. but it's worth it, because...
it's true. in a few days, it's officially only four months left to "the next five months." time is dwindling. sure, i've lost 10 pounds. but ten pounds in 17 days? ok, honestly, doing the math, if i can keep that up, i'm pretty much solid. if my math is right, there are 126 days left of 2011, which is 7 sets of 17 days. so if i lost 10 pounds for each of those seventeen days, i'd lose 70 more pounds... which would be 80 pounds total... which is what i'm shooting for!
but facebook and twitter and everything else? not helping. granted, the overwhelming amount of emotional support has been killer awesome! but maybe part of the holistic health is learning to lean more on:
1. myself
2. REAL LIFE friends. not people i only talk to on facebook but never actually run into on campus, etc.
3. action. DOING the things i love the pictures of on tumblr.
so we'll see how this will go. i know i'll get so lonely some nights, but i know watching other people post statuses about living life wasn't helping, either.
so here goes nothin'.
