Update & College
I have not updated in a while, so I thought it was about time. I have been stuck at a plataeu with my weight loss for a long time now, probably about 6 months so I felt no need to update during that time.
I saw my nutrionist today (well yesterday since it is now friday) and finally showed a loss on her scale ( a whopping .4 of a pound, but still a loss). Going to start training more, eating under 1500 calories, keep tracking what I eat, and hopefully get back on the right track.
College has been tough to maintain with my weight loss schedule (or vise versa?) but I have been doing my best.
I passed Macroeconomics I know, the final grade I am not sure of yet, but I will either have a 79 percent or an 81 percent (will clarify when I know for sure).
Writing class is going okay, got to revise my stories, I think poetry is more of my venue than story writing. However, I need the elective credit to graduate.
Science. Now that I am concerned about. The labs have taken a lot of energy, but I think the professor will like my work. Still a lot of work in that class even though the semester ends in 14 days. (2 tests, 1 quiz, and the big lab portfolio).
Health, will go into January, so no christmas break. Need the class to graduate though so will do what needs to be done. The class isn't too hard in all honesty. There are 6 assignments due a week, but they are not hard.
Next semester I will be taking Biology, College Algebra, Spanish, and music appreciation. My graduation audit stated that I needed 1 more science class, and 1 math and a few more electives.
Will update on final grades after December 21st.

Just some thoughts.
So, I have been thinking a lot lately, especially since we have had to work on a behavior change in health class. I have awful self-esteem, or if you rather....none. I can't seem to accept myself how I am. I look in the mirror and despise what I see. If there's such a thing as a "fat girl syndrome" I have it. I have lost 70 pounds, and still see the same 70 pounds heavier girl. What if I lose the last 40 pounds and still see the fat girl? Has anyone else gone through this? How did you get through it if you did?
Another thing I would like to write about, just to get off my mind....is depression. I am constantly depressed. It keeps me from functioning to my fullest sometimes. Sometimes I just lie around instead of getting stuff done when I am depressed. Somedays I feel so down that I can't concentrate on school work so I keep procrastinating. Sometimes I feel so depressed I don't want to get up and work out, or eat healthy. I am wondering if that's why I am having a hard time losing weight now.....and then I feel that I will never lose the rest and I will be fat forever, which only depresses me more and I spiral even further.
I am afraid I need help, but I don't want to get help. Not sure I can handle the depression much longer though.

Short Story Ideas....?
So, in my creative writing class we have to write 2 short stories. My first one is complete. It's about 2 cars full of people that get in a wreck, and then the people are stranded.
However, the second one I am having trouble coming up with an idea. If anyone who reads this has a good idea feel free to leave a response!
Will post my ideas as I find/think of some.
-Your camera has images on it that you haven't taken
-In a hall of mirrors where each mirror reflects a character trait, you see yourself as you really are
- Write about a potato and his/her adventures working at McDonalds
-Character gets amnesia (how?) and the story is about them uncovering their past and getting their memory back
-Write a story about an executive and a gang member stuck in an elevator. (Note: The executive has a wallet full of cash. The gang member has a knife in his jacket.)
