Excerpts from the Diary of a Pissed Off Bodybuilder

On monday, i made an appointment to see the doctor on tuesday at 6 pm... reached the hospital with maryam last night at 5:58 pm... 2 minutes early... guess what? didn't see the doctor til 7:20 pm... i guess making an appointment, according to al mana hospital, means that you're going to be at the hospital at that time, and not actually seeing the doctor at that time. at 6:50 pm, i wanted to go up and complain but there was a woman screaming at the receptionist with the same problem and when she was done and went to the waiting room, the receptionist mumbled "delay? i'll show you what a delay is you..." and put her file under a stack of other files... So, knowing that if i act like a "man" and start yelling and complaining, the same thing would happen and i'd be delayed even more. so, i just shut the hell up and waited...
As i predicted, we saw the doctor and he said "yeah, you have cracks and fractures in the bone... let's put a full slipper cast on it and come back in a week" ... i waited an hour and 20 minutes for that? i could've done that!!! oh, you should've seen the certificates on his wall. he had about 25 certificates of "attending confrences" and they looked so freakin' cheap... it looks as if my little brother designed them and printed them out on a 30 riyal printer...

Just to give you an update, i'm about 4 weeks and one day out right now and things look pretty good. my love handles are almost non existant, and i actually have an ass now (if you don't get it, people with love handles will). The diet is going pretty well, not much of a pain in the ass as last time, but still, i get as hungry as hell all the time and my last meal is usually at 7 pm... so i sleep with stomach pains from hunger. My last cheat meal was more than 2 weeks ago and i've cut out all diet sodas and drinks last week. So, it's nothing but water to drink. One thing i've noticed since i've stopped all the diet sodas and artificial sweetners is that i don't crave sweet stuff any more. it's weird. i have a MEEEAAANNN sweet tooth, but yesterday i passed dunkin donuts on the way back from the hospital, and i was as hungry as hell, and i didn't even look twice or think of a donut :S ... weird... When i go grocery shopping, i don't even look twice at candy or chips. I think diet sodas make me crave sweets even more... this morning i weighed in at 190 lbs, waist was 32.8 inches... although bigger than it used to be... i'm the leanest i've ever been right now and it's only getting better... hopefully by 2 weeks, i'll only have water to lose.
