00:00I just got out of the hospital. I'm actually leaving grateful, happy, relieved, and I have
00:05a lot more knowledge on my gallbladder and my gallstones. I did not get surgery and I'm not
00:11getting surgery, which I'm actually kind of happy about. They said they'd only do surgery on me if
00:16my gallbladder was infected and they said it was not infected at all. I'm really, really happy it's
00:22not infected because I was nervous that it was. The fact that it isn't just makes me feel really,
00:26really relieved. He told me a lot of ways that I can handle gallstones. They prescribed me some
00:33medicine. They said that Prilosec actually helps with gallbladder attacks, which is really
00:38shocking to me but kind of awesome. That was definitely a roller coaster.
00:48It's 1 a.m. right now. We got there at 5 p.m. and we're leaving at 1 a.m. I haven't even eaten
00:53half of my calories for today because I barely ate anything all day long. I don't feel like
00:57cooking at 1 a.m. especially because Crystal's parents are sleeping and they have to wake up
01:01for work super early. They actually have to wake up at 3 a.m. I don't want to be making a bunch of
01:05racket downstairs. They like climbing that tree. That's why it looks like a racket house, especially
01:09Rarity Gray. So we're gonna have to get a new one because I love the tree. Love it. We're gonna go
01:14to IHOP and I'm gonna choose a meal that fits into my calories because I'm not going over. I promised
01:19you guys I wouldn't and I'm still succeeding in that promise. I'm starving. I haven't eaten since
01:24four. I just got home. I'm about to go to sleep. I know this video wasn't much. I hope you guys had
01:30a great day today and I will see you in my next vlog. Bye. Hello everybody. If you hear a whining
01:35cat at the door, he wants to come in this room. We don't allow him in this room. Crystal has a
01:40bunch of cords behind her TV, which is right in front of me. He likes to chew on them. We don't
01:43want him to like shock himself or ruin a cord so we just don't allow him in here. It's not
01:48functioned for a cat. Today's the day where I try to go to another OA meeting. Friday has finally
01:54come and gone and came back. I'm really nervous. I keep trying to call the number that's on the OA
02:00meeting details board. The person never answers. I even tried texting and I got no response. I tried
02:06last Friday as well and no response and no answer. I'm not even sure if this meeting still happens.
02:12There's only two meetings in the place that I live. One of them is more like bible study. On the
02:18website it shows what kind of meeting it is. The one that I'm choosing to go to says that it's
02:23topic slash berries. That's the type of meeting that I want. I'm just hoping everything goes as
02:28planned today. Perfume I'm gonna use today. 747 Club. Tonight's diva night. New York. This really
02:35really cute bottle. I love this one. Selena Gomez Viva More. Crystal got me this for Christmas and
02:41it smells so good. Outfit of the day time. Harrah's in a bun. Mint flower necklace I got from Walmart.
02:46Heart diamond ring that I got from Avenue. Square diamond earrings that I got from Charlotte Rose.
02:50I'm just wearing a black shirt with this lace netting on the side. I'm pretty sure I got this
02:55shirt from Walmart about two years ago. Of course my adorable new purse. Yes for the win.
03:04Oh my gosh it's so bright out I just like literally can't even open my eyeballs.
03:08Why are there socks on the ground? Crystal and I just went to one of our favorite like
03:12buffet. We went to a buffet. Chinese buffets there. What? What is buffet? Baby I know.
03:22Buffet. Okay but anyways. Places called Hibachi.
03:26It's Chinese food. Sushi. Things like that. Normally I go there and easily eat. Three to four plates of just pure
03:39piled on food. Fried rice. Fried like everything whether it be crab or angud. Fried chicken. Not a
03:47single vegetable. What's wrong with you? Yeah I just saw that. For dessert I get a whole plate. I love their ice cream. They
03:53have these medium-sized vanilla ice cream cups that I'm obsessed with and I usually have like
03:57four of those. I wanted to show you guys my choice that I made for today. I did take a picture of it
04:03so I can log it on my fitness pal later. I'm honestly so beyond proud of myself. Dessert
04:12consisted of cantaloupe. I got one of the ice creams that I like and I only took three bites of it like
04:18What? Like who am I now? Like who am I? I love being on track. It feels freaking incredible. Doing my weekly
04:25grocery shopping and I saw pickled asparagus. Probably something I will never try in my life.
04:32I'm currently on my way to the OA meeting. I've been texting one of the people that actually
04:37attend the OA meeting and she seems really really nice and she's super excited for me to go there.
04:42She's pushing me to go there. It's like we've known each other forever. Super super nervous.
04:47My stomach hurts. Here we go. Oh and by the way some of you are asking why Crystal's coming with
04:53me and if she's an overeater. If you're overweight then you're an overeater because obviously you're
04:58overeating to become that big or that overweight or that obese. Yeah she's an overeater. Obviously
05:03since I'm bigger than her and I have binge eating disorder I am a little worse off than she is. She
05:09needs to attend this meeting too and see if it suits her like it's gonna suit me. I don't even
05:13know. Maybe it won't suit me but I'll let you guys know. There's the building. This one right here.
05:18I'm pretty sure. I just got out of the meeting. I got my little chip for attending. I also had a
05:24bunch of pamphlets. It was Crystal Night and three others. I wasn't expecting to read or anything but
05:30I decided to read. Felt comfortable there but not comfortable enough in my own skin to share anything.
05:35As you guys can tell my cheeks are so red. They're like purple looking. So embarrassing. The meeting
05:41was an hour. I cried literally 10 times plus. Whenever someone would share their story or they're
05:48reading something that struck home I cried and I couldn't help it. They were like silent tears but
05:53there were a lot of them. I really plan on going to this meeting whenever I'm not busy on Fridays.
05:58I'm really really happy I went. I was taught a lot. I really am not alone. It is insane that these
06:04people feel exactly how I do on a day-to-day basis. I'm gonna end my vlog for tonight you guys.
06:10I have to go to sleep early or at least try to. Probably not gonna happen. Crystal and I have to
06:14wake up super early tomorrow before it's even daytime. She has to go try on Bridesmaid dresses
06:20tomorrow. So that is the plan. I have a feeling we're gonna get three hours of sleep but that's
06:24cool. It's actually really fun to see Crystal try it on dresses because she doesn't wear dresses. We
06:30all get a kick out of it. I'll see you guys in my next video. Bye. Hello everybody. I got three hours
06:35of sleep. That's all right. We have to drive about an hour away. Crystal has to try on Bridesmaid dresses.
06:41Here's an outfit of the day. Hair in a bun. Diamond pearl earrings that say meow. Cat ears. I got these
06:49from Claire's. A silver diamond spiked necklace I got from Charlotte Rue's. Heart diamond ring that
06:56I got from Avenue. It's supposed to be like 50 degrees today so I'm wearing a scarf. I forget
07:05where I got this from but I think the mall. Pink cardigan from Walmart. This black tank top
07:13with the silver beads that I got from I'm pretty sure Walmart. Walmart's awesome.
07:21Being a protein shake with the Ultimate Muscle protein powder and cookies and cream. I already
07:28made it for Crystal and I have to make mine. I measure everything out. A serving of the mango
07:33mambo. A serving of fat-free milk. Stevia in the raw packet and it comes out really really good.
07:40That's 140 grams of fruit. This is going to be 32 grams of protein powder.
07:55Eight ounces of fat-free milk
08:02and my stevia.
08:05We're just now arriving to the place where Crystal is going to try on the dresses.
08:11I'm going to keep all of my clothes that I'm going to try on. I'm going to keep all of my
08:18clothes that I'm going to try on. We're just now arriving to the place where Crystal is going to
08:32try on the dresses. I'm going to keep all that private though because obviously it's like a
08:36private matter so I won't be vlogging that and then get something to eat somewhere. I'm a little
08:41confused on what's happening tonight. We're supposed to go bowling. I'm not sure yet. The
08:46dress train on is officially over with. I'm super excited to announce that all bridesmaids have their
08:52dresses and they're very very cute. I don't know. There was no stop sign. I think they have to stop
08:58and we just get to keep going. Yeah, we're on our way to the Cheesecake Factory right now. With a
09:03lot of pressure from everybody, they really wanted me to get this. It's a jumper and I got it. I don't
09:11really wear jumpers. I don't wear dresses. I don't wear skirts. I'm gonna get it and I'm like nervous
09:18for some reason. It's like very outside of my comfort zone. I just really appreciate Crystal. I
09:23appreciate her family and just everything that they do for me. How they encourage me. It just, it
09:28really just means the world to me. We just ate at the Cheesecake Factory. See the bags back there?
09:34I always go into the Cheesecake Factory either with two different minds. Oh, I'm on track. Oh,
09:41I'm gonna follow my plan. I'm gonna count my calories. I'm gonna get a low calorie dish. I go
09:47in there and do the complete opposite and totally binge out. Or B, I go in there with the mindset of
09:53oh yeah, I'm about to eat the whole world and I don't care. Who tells me not to? I went in there
09:59debating back and forth. What should I do? I knew for a fact I wanted to get something healthy
10:05and this like thing in the back of my head when I kept seeing like the breads and like oh my god,
10:10I just want my main dish. And my main dish is around 1400 calories. It's the orange chicken,
10:14full size, super delicious. And that's what I wanted honestly. Deep down in my heart I was like
10:19no. I got a 570 calorie Asian salad which literally was gigantic. I didn't even finish
10:25it all so I had less than 570 calories. I normally would get a cheesecake that's around
10:341100 calories. I would leave the place stick because I'd also get appetizers. I'd eat the
10:39bread. This time I got a cheesecake that was 600 calories. It was a low carb of strawberries and I
10:44only ate half. I'm walking out of there not full. I'm satisfied, proud. I'm happy and accomplished.
10:52I just can't even believe I did this. I honestly,
10:57it's crazy. Like I don't know. I'm just really proud of myself and I wanted to share that with
11:01you guys. I bought this gum I was super excited for. The seasonal edition confetti cake pop because
11:13I've heard a lot of good things about it. I tried it today. Crystal really really liked it and I
11:18literally didn't. It literally tasted like science. Like I could taste plastic. I don't know.
11:25I just didn't care for it too much. I don't know. I might give it to her or her dad and try to find
11:30me another gum because I like gum to have when I'm feeling hungry at night and I have no more
11:33calories. I like to just chew on a piece of gum. Crystal and I were gonna go to bowling with some
11:41people but that didn't turn out to be happening because it's actually really bad weather right now.
11:46We've been really really wanting to see the movie Unfriended so we're gonna go see that today. I'm
11:50super super super excited. This theater is literally the biggest theater I've ever seen in my life.
11:58I don't know if you guys can see it in the screen. It's IMAX so this is gonna be scary.
12:05Remember how I told you guys I didn't like that one gum? We ended up going to Target
12:10because we wanted to get ourselves a little snack so we're not going over calories. You know what
12:14I'm saying? Ended up getting more gum. I love this one. It's mint chocolate chip. Sugar-free baby.
12:26I also got a sweet watermelon and a mixed berry. I'm gonna keep these all in my purse because I'm
12:33starting to carry my big purse. I used to carry big purses all the time but I completely stopped
12:36for some odd reason but anyways we're still the only people in here.
12:41You know what that means?
12:46Just got home. Today has been a crazy crazy crazy crazy crazy long day. I'm just like pooped.
12:55Crystal and I just got back from Walmart. I wanted to show you the couple of things I got.
12:59I got some food necessity items I wasn't able to get the other day. I already put those all away.
13:04We got a fan because we've been needing one for our bedroom because it gets really really hot in
13:09here so I'm super excited to set this up tomorrow. Crystal got a hand sanitizer for her purse.
13:16She got this really cute tank top. Chevron silver and black. I got a body fantasies twilight mist,
13:25body fantasies pink vanilla kiss, body fantasies japanese cherry blossom, one direction called
13:32our moment, and body spray. These perfume bottles are so cute. Look at that. There's kisses on this
13:40one, cherry blossoms on this one, and like a little twilight forest on this one. Super super cute.
13:49I gotta admit today was a struggle for me when it comes to me wanting to binge. At the movie
13:54theater I wanted an Icy. Didn't get one. Before the movie theater I wanted to buy a whole bag of
14:00Milk Dove. Didn't do it. After the movie theater I wanted a Slurpee. Didn't do it. While at Walmart I
14:10wanted a pint of Ben and Jerry. Didn't do it. Among all that I had so many triggers just earlier
14:16regarding the Cheesecake Factory. After I had no more calories I literally just wanted everything.
14:22I really really wanted to binge really really bad. Crystal knew this. She helped me. I am so
14:29so grateful for her. When I told her I feel like I just want to stuff my feelings and her exact words
14:34were you would feel so much better if you didn't. I know it's just like a common typical sentence but
14:40I really really felt it and it hit home and she was right. I'm glad I didn't binge. I'm very very
14:47very very happy with myself. I just edited this full vlog. I realized I didn't do an outro. It's
14:54getting really really late. I'm just gonna say goodnight to you guys and I hope you guys had a
14:58great day. Bye. Hello everybody. The night before I literally got zero sleep. I think about two hours.
15:06I ended up falling asleep super late last night. I was so so tired. We always set our alarm no matter
15:13what. No matter if we have to go somewhere or not. I just decided let's not set an alarm just to catch
15:18up on some sleep and we slept for a long time. We slept until 1 30. What? I wanted to talk about a
15:26couple things real quick. One, I am really behind on uploading vlogs. I have all my vlogs edited.
15:33Somewhere I kind of fell behind on uploading because I got busy certain days. There was
15:38actually a couple days where our internet was actually really slow and my computer is so
15:42annoying. I'm about six days behind. Almost a week. That's okay. I'm still gonna upload all the videos.
15:48Don't fret. Two, if you guys want to follow me on Instagram here is my handle or username as they
15:55call it now. I post a picture a day of my body just because I want to go back and see progress.
16:00So you guys should definitely follow me on there. I also post inspirational quotes, meals I'm eating.
16:06Three, the last two days have been exceptionally cold for spring and around this time. It confuses
16:13my like body and I get really chapped lips which could possibly cause a cold sore. Here I feel
16:19really bad pain. If I end up getting a cold sore, videos will have to stop until the cold sore is
16:24gone. It's something I've dealt with my whole life. The last thing I want to talk about is I
16:29do plan on weighing myself here in a minute. Last time I weighed myself, the scale wouldn't read me.
16:34I really, really, really hope the scale just reads me. That was my goal for this week. I just weighed
16:40myself and had a little bit of brunch. The scale that we have doesn't weigh up to about 420 pounds.
16:47420 pounds was naturally my highest weight when I was 16 years old. I probably weighed that much
16:53for years to be honest. Probably until I was like 20, 21. I'm currently 24 if you guys don't know.
16:59The fact that the scale wasn't reading me because I reached 420 again or around there really...
17:10it absolutely hurts. I don't want to cry. It's crazy to me that through everything I
17:17reached that weight again. I just can't believe it. I'm glad I know now. Happy to announce that
17:22the scale finally read me again. I'm really, really happy. I can finally make small goals and be like,
17:28oh I want to lose two pounds. I'm tired of huge goals because they make me feel overwhelmed.
17:33I sabotage myself. I weighed in today at 405.2. It's bittersweet. I wish I was at my lowest weight
17:42still. Can't keep holding on to that. This is a new journey. In this journey, I lost a lot of
17:47weight this week. I'm actually really happy. Tomorrow's like my official weigh-in day.
17:52Plug it in. Okay. Put this on here. Snap this down. Okay. Turn on the power.
18:01And then you're gonna do manual. And then you're just gonna arrow to low and enter. That's it?
18:08That's it. Oh. It's not like we're setting a timer or anything. Okay. I got this book, Eat What You Love,
18:13Love What You Eat, How to Break Your Eat, Repent, Repeat Cycle. Pretty thick book. It comes with an
18:20Am I Hungry mindful eating program. It's a workbook and journal. It teaches you just how to eat
18:27mindfully. You go through a lot of questions and steps to kind of understand, you know, what you're
18:34going through and why you eat the way you do. Crystal's parents are all about the essential
18:40oils. They literally have over a hundred. I'll have to show you. Her mom made the Steve's one
18:45for cold sores. So, I put it on my lips and it started like burning. I have to go ask them if
18:52that's even normal. I tried that stuff where my lips was already burning because I burned it bad.
19:04Is it one little drop? I think.
19:09You're right. It's almost like numb feeling too. Yeah. I'm scared a little.
19:16What if I did eat a lot? What would happen? Well, some oils you're not supposed to enjoy.
19:22I wish my teeth were numb. How are my tongues numb? I swear to god, I'm not joking.
19:29If teeth could be numb, they'd be numb too, I feel like.
19:32Okay, so everything that said this one's fine could be in my mouth.
19:40Let's do a little taste test. I've never had this extra sweet watermelon gum before,
19:45so let's give it a go. I notice if I pull this little flap right here, it opens better.
19:51Bam. Ta-da. Smells so bomb. I eat gum when I have no more calories left and I'm feeling kind of
20:01hungry or I want to binge or I just want something in my mouth. It honestly really helps. Smells so
20:08good. Yes. No, this is a keeper. Oh my god. Five calories, zero sugar, zero fat. Yes. So, so, so,
20:29so, so, so, so, so, so good. Tastes just like sweet watermelon, hence the name. Don't mind
20:36the clicking. Crystal's got that rock band life. She's playing with some friends online. So, this
20:41is my big purse that I'm gonna start using. Isn't it adorable? I've had it for years and the inside,
20:49I mean, this thing opens up a square mile, I swear to god. I'm editing this vlog right now
20:55and I figured I should just end it. You know those people who chew gum like this?
21:00Um, I'm kind of one of them people. As much as I keep putting on like ChapStick and things like that,
21:07my cold sore is still coming in. I might have to be low-key with the videos. By the time I'm all
21:12caught up with actually uploading the videos, maybe this will be gone by then. Today is
21:18Sunday the 26th. So, I hope you guys had a great day today and I will see you in my next vlog. Bye.
