let’s make this in list form,
shall we?
today, i…
(reminds me of elaine’s post)
- woke up late (meant to wake up at 7.15am for a class)
- got called by my friend to go to “hip-hop” dance class (which starts at 10.30, I was called at 10!)
- missed a two-hour ballet class (which started at 8 and ended at 10 – I woke up at ten. Honestly, wtf?!)
- called teacher of said ballet class to apologise (I now have to make up for what I didn’t learn today… it involves a 3-hour class on Tuesday, in case you were wondering)
- nearly cried from guilt
- binged for breakfast (at least I identified the source: stress eating from guilt for missing class. Dammit.)
- went to a beef noodle restaurant after said binge (I secretly don’t like going there because we’ve been so many times, and I’m getting sick/scared of it. C’mon. Beef noodles just goes against everything I’ve taught myself.)
- put my expander/retainer in a napkin (I need braces, but my mouth is too small. SO, I need to get my mouth “expanded” first – it looks like a retainer but it can be widened like some sort of torture device.)
- sprayed curry noodle soup on my light pink shirt (Stupid stupid stupid stupid stupid I’ll never f***ing wash THAT off)
- left the restaurant uncomfortably full from said noodle soup and said binge, WITHOUT my said retainer-wrapped-in-the-napkin (STUPID STUPID STUPID STUPID)
- said, “Oh s**t!” halfway back home on the car (upon realising the forgettance of said retainer and got yelled at)
- was driven back to said restaurant to look for said retainer
- nearly cried again from guilt
- was promptly informed that the trash had JUST been dumped (that was ONE time you didn’t have to be punctual and diligent, people)
- was given plastic bags to dig through the black and grimy trash can (full of huge beef bones and noodles and long Chinese chives… I understand how you can find out a secret recipe now… check out the trash.)
- watched a kitchen guy dig through the bones and noodles and chives (while apologising profusely repeatedly)
- went home without finding the retainer (and doubting that if I did, whether I would ever dare to wear it again)
- was called by the restaurant people to find out that they did indeed find it (I do suspect it had to do with the 100RMB reward my mother offered, which is about 14.72USD)
- rode my bike through dangerous Shanghai traffic to the restaurant
- apologised profusely and repeatedly again (and paid the kitchen lady out of my own pocket… Yeah, I deserved that. *selfsmack*)
- put my retainer through about a million cleansing rituals (sterilising, mouthwash, brushing, anti-bacterial agent)
- am still afraid to wear it (it was IN THE TRASH. WITH BONES. CHIVES. NOODLES. S**T. MICE. RATS. SPIDERS. HOBOS.)
- binged again (for a “snack”)
- did 30 Day Shred again, Level 2
- got my ass totally obliterated on said workout (not quite sweat puddles but definitely sweat imprints on the floor.)
- sat on my ass almost the rest of the day (I really understand the essence of the term “sedentary”)
- felt like I had WAY too much food
- had a cinnamon roll my mom made (ALL of one cinnamon roll, by myself. I DON’T need to gain weight anymore, dammit!)
- did not feel like baking (I never realised up till now how much that meant about my mood.)
not the best day ever.

So, how was YOUR day?
PS: I hope this amused you.
Hahaha, I’m sorry, but this is too funny. You sound a bit like me. I eat too much sometimes too, and then feel guilty about it later. Don’t worry about it girl, tomorrow is a new day. Just start over eating healthfully when you wake up. :)
P.S. Your blog has ads! How did you get those?
Thanks! I probably should be sleeping right now, but you’ve reminded me again that it wasn’t so bad and I just need to start over… I just wish I didn’t end up telling myself that everyday :(
I don’t know how those ads got there :( I use Blog.com, so maybe they’re just naturally there. They annoy me, to be honest.

Hey Wei Wei,
My day was pretty shitty at work. Everybody pretty much uses me and does not appreciate how much I do there, but I totally agree with Samantha’s advice above tomorrow is a new day, so we just have to start over fresh. Do not worry about your “binge” today. It happens to everyone. The important thing is that you realized that is was emotional eating. That is so awesome that you have worked up to level two of 30 day shred. In my opinion that is probably the hardest level! lol.
Whit and I have had so much done to our teeth, it is ridiculous. We both used to have mouths the size of five year olds(which made our teeth extremely jacked up). Therefore we had to have braces twice, a cemented expander on the bottom, a cemented retainer on the top(that you had to turn with a key to tighten), rubber bands, spurrs, and now thank god we just have to wear retainers at NIGHT! Trust me you have it good right now :) I hope you have a better day tomorrow.

It was actually 3 binges yesterday… I keep having to catch myself today, too. I have to be strong! And yes, I have heard that the second level is the hardest. Which reminds me, I have to go do that now! O_O
Wow, that seriously is a LOT of dental work! I feel sorry for you guys :( It does make me feel better about my retainer haha :D

What a crazy day! It was certainly nice of the people at the restaurant to search through garbage for your retainers though.
Cinnamon rolls are really hard to resist…especially when they are right out of the oven ;-)
It was indeed! Although I think it really did have a lot to do with the reward :P
The cinnamon rolls are reeeeeally good… though there is no icing. I’ll have a few photos soon, if I can get some before they’re gone ;)

That’s certainly a lot of reasons as to why you’ve had a bad day but think about it my dear, there must be a whole lot of reasons that made it good too! Like… a cinnamon roll from your Mum that was made with love. Sleeping in means waking up rejuvenated. Managing to identify the root of bingeing so that you may be on guard the next time it happens. Having the energy to exercise – SHRED. Managing to find your retainer even though you did have to give it a major scrub. x) Look on the bright side of life hun. And remember, tomorrow will be a much, much better day! xoxo
Thanks! I do have a tendency to fixate on the negative, but I actually realise that most of the bigger “bad things” that happened yesterday got solved. Missed ballet class? Got rescheduled (and forgiven). Lost retainer? Found it. Binged? Well… I stopped, didn’t I? ;)
