The Diet

Hi Erin!  How are you doing, my Darling?  Are you busy being the American Princess?  Yes my love, America needs you, so do your work with pride.  It's nice to be on that virtual pedestal, and it's entertaining to laugh to yourself about all the silliness going on around you.  That's because most people have no grasp of Allah, so they become silly.  You just give thanks to Allah, OK?  I love you.

Hi Natty!  How is your awareness program coming along?  Ah, it's part of the job.  I guess that means it's part of being Mrs. Rock Star, and being so pretty.  Are the natives in awe of you?  Don't show off!  Yes my dearest Natty, you are such a beautiful sweetheart, and you want to be nice to the world even though they get jealous of you.  What a good heart you have.  I love you.

So I'm still on a diet.  I've learned that you don't have to be wealthy to get bloated.  Poor people can get bloated as well.  It's either that or I'm wealthy and I don't know it.  No, that's not it- I would be married already...  Anyway, I've been eating half portions.  Instead of eating the whole cup of rice, I put away half a cup.  Instead of 2 cheeseburgers, I only have one.  Sundays I always but my lunch, and I always get 3 portions of "nasi lemak" (rice).  But the woman who makes them overstuffed them for me, so I guess I overate for lunch.  Then dinner I had a cheeseburger and a half portion of fries.  I don't know.  I don't have a scale.  I think I'm losing weight.  My clothes feel looser.  I just don't know...

Do I look thinner to you?
