The Year Of The Diamond Cutter

"I’m making one of the biggest commitments at this point to get control of something I haven’t had since 2009… And it’s scary as hell."

The Year Of The Diamond Cutter
A. Bales

I thought about things from the last seven.... Wait eight years now.

Well, the photos will tell you, my weight is like a leaky tire that keeps getting patched… As in, I cannot keep a certain weight for too long. (By the way, I’m totally okay, every professional said I was fine, nothing wrong with me at all). It could be from medication I had to take from battling depression, or going vegetarian for lent (never doing that again)... Or being able to squat over two times my weight then…

If you don’t believe me, here’s photos to prove the issue. I apologize now.

(from top to bottom) 2009- size 2, 110,(right)- 2010, size 5- 120, 2011- size 5, 125


2012- Size 8, 130 Late 2013/Early 2014- size 0, 95 Late 2014- size 3, 112

2015- Size 3/5, 120 2016- Size 2-3, 115

It’s shocking to look back. I literally have been from borderline sickly skinny to considered overweight for my height.

But this year, I’m taking back my control on my weight fluctuation. I’m done dealing with having to buy everything twice because my weight decided to go another direction.

It’s hard to decide what, if any, program to go with when it’s this situation. Weight loss and gain programs- google it, you get pages and pages of programs, people and stories over what works and not… But maintaining one? Haha…. No.

Or yes?

Currently on a WWE/wrestling run, I discovered a former wrestler developed something that does that and much more…..

Google Diamond Dallas Page. His program is third thing you see.

Four stages of programing, strict diet, but results are outstanding. People are more flexible than what they were before in six weeks.

Hell, this saved many former wrestlers from drug addiction, overdose deaths. And some of the big names too.

If they can do it at like 50 years old, I can do it at 21.

I’m making one of the biggest commitments at this point to get control of something I haven’t had since 2009… And it’s scary as hell.

Let’s hope this works.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
