Hey ya'll well I stayed constant at 168 when I woke up this morning which is good I'd rather have that then gain ya know? But yea today might be lil difficult on me. U know that guy that i told ya bout well me and him majorly got into it last night cuz he said sumthin and yea we kinda got into it. I'm so mad and I have a right to be if u knew the convo. Lets just say we've known each other for like a year and he basically said that he's extremly attracted to me but he doesn't know my enough about me and my personality and all this other stuff =. Its kinda complicated and I blew up on him and yea so now I'm all depressed and my mom is making me the best dinner ever tonight cuz she walked in on me crying last night and she feels bad so she's giving me food and yea i'm not gonna let anyone else eat any! LoL! But yea I'll be on lata this afternoon at practice so I'll see u guys then! *muahz*

O man I am so angry at my self. I am 5ft 8 inches and 160 lbs. I spend so much money on food it is ridiculous. I tell myself I will by just a sandwich at lunch but then I tell myself just for one day I will buy some chips and a soda and so on. It makes me angry and frustrated.I wear baggy t shirts since I am told by my brothers I have man boobs and it gets me mad. I have always struggled with my wieght since I was in the 4 th grade. i was 150 lbs in the sixth grade and my wieght gos up and down. I think I eat so much since I am stressed over many issues from getting my permit, school, job, and some very personal issues i don't wish to post openly. I know it feels odd for a guy to worry about his weight but all my brothers, friends, and stuff are thin to the point where I get really frustrated.
