I know that I want to lose weight but I would not do surgery. There are so many nightmares with surgery. I was just talking with a co-worker of mine and we both agree that any type of weight loss wether surgery or calorie counting, your health should be monitored.

I stumbled accross this article on the web. (click here) It talks about a doctor and his wife conducting liposuction surgeries in their condominimum basement. Neither one of them are licensed to practice in this country. They are from Brazil and the people they have operated on died! One of them was only 24yrs old. Why would you do that at such a young age and then to go to someones house to do it! Forget it!

As much as I want to lose weight I dont want to DIE trying!

mood: discouraged

I just received an email from my teacher with my midterm grade. It did pretty bad. I scored a 73%. That is pretty discouraging for me since I really wanted to do well. I know that I have not been able to focus or study because of my illness. I guess, I could not have asked for better. Alot of the problem has to do with my job and it being so demanding right now.

If I do well on my presentation and my paper she said I can end up with a B for my final grade. I am really discouraged right now. I dont even want to write my paper or do my presentation on wednesday. I just cant find my motivation.

Since I have been sick I have not been eating. That is fine since this "porker" needed to lose weight anyway. It isn't even a diet because I am just not hungry. I cannot breathe therefore I cannot smell or taste what I am eating. I feel hungry and my stomach growls but I just have no interest in food.

I basically eat only once a day. You would think that I lost about 10 pounds by now but I haven't!! I don't get it. After 10 days of eating only one meal a day I have only lost 5 pounds. Yeah, that's it. What is it going to take for me to fricken lose weight??

Ok, so I thought that one accupuncture treatment was going to be the end of all treatments. I was CURED!! So, at least I thought I was. I was swaying my hips and bending at the waist without any pain. However, there was this sharp pain in my right quadracep. That pain was causing me to limp like a veteran of war. I thought it would be ok for me to grit my teeth and bear the pain until it goes away.

I am not as tough as I thought I was. The pain was constant every day. It felt as if I were hit by a moving car right smack in the middle of my leg; or maybe even by a snowmobile on a downhill run. The only thing that worked was 3 excedrin every 4-6 hours. But now I was worried about burning a hole in my stomach lining from all that excedrin.

I finally gave in and called the accupunturist to schedule another appointment. I am glad that I did. It has only been 3 hours since I had seen her and I have not needed to take a single asprin or excedrin. I am even able to bend my knee. Wow! This stuff really works!

I was on youtube and someone left a comment about my karate demonstration practice and said that I am a PORKER and fight like a green belt. HOW MEAN!!!!!!

It was only a practice for the show! What a jerk.

You know I just got this email from my boss. It states:

"An extra $27,000 a year for a bachelor's degree, compared to people who did not finish high school. A doctorate is worth another $30,000 on top of that."

I really dont see that happening. At least NOT where I work!!! I just think it is ironic how my boss would send us something like that when I HAVE my bachelors degree and I am getting paid LESS than someone in her department that only has an AA. I dont even know if she has even that!

I have to believe the statistics however because it goes on to say...

According to the data, the median salary for workers with a four-year college degree in 2005 was $40,166 -- compared to just over $13,000 a year for people who did not complete high school.

Those with a high school degree only had a median income of $21,079; for a two-year associate's degree it was $30,937; for a master's degree it was $51,509; for a doctorate it was $70,165. Those with law, medical and other professional degrees topped the list at $76,497.

They believe that the earnings gap is steadily rising. I guess that is good news for me.

I went to tmobile today to get a new sim card for my son. While I was there I found out I was eligible for a phone upgrade. I saw this cute little nokia phone. I dont particullarly care for nokia since I have had my history of problems with them. I really like motorola but the new razor has not come out yet.

Anyhow, I should be getting the new phone in about a week. Luckily my sisters celphone just broke so I will send her my Razor once I get my new nokia...

What do you think??
