Donny’s having a fat day…Hello, interweb! I would like to talk to you about something real for a moment. This is something close to my heart and also something I don’t really talk about often. I feel fat. Not the ordinary “we’re all a little overweight” kind of fat, but actually fat. Since I was a kid, I always had some kind of battle with my weight. Now however, it’s gotten to a point that is really bringing me down. This mixed with my surprisingly unknown or commonly overlooked self esteem issues has created a black hole of self doubt and loathing. It’s amazing how little it takes to deliver a crushing blow to the self esteem of someone who has issues with their weight. “You used to be so skinny.” “Your face is so fat.” Simple, seemingly non-offensive things to say but they sting nonetheless. Don’t get me wrong. I love me, I think I’m at least decent looking, I’m a nice guy, talented and all that but at the end of the day it’s all about feeling comfortable in our own skin…and I do not. I don’t have some crazy skewed idea of myself in my head either. I know I’m not this big, gelatinous blob, but I do know a couple problem areas I’d like to go away. A friend of mine, Clarence, said “You didn’t gain this weight overnight so don’t think you’re going to lose it overnight.” Wise words. Everyone who is out to lose weight is always looking for the quick fix. Well when have you ever known a “quick fix” to be of any real quality? Changing my lifestyle and really digging deep when it comes to this is where I’m headed. With that said, I plan on taking all of you with me on this journey. I’m pretty bad at blogging everyday so it doesn’t seem likely that I will keep a daily journal of my fight with fat but let’s start today and see how it goes. Fair? Fair! In the morning, I plan on going to the gym. I will document how long I stayed and the activities I did while I was there. Since you’re all coming with me on this little-big venture, feel free to give me tips, ideas and inspiration. Trust me, I’ll need it. Time to put together a playlist and lace up my track shoes! See you guys at the gym! Comments:

What’s been up?It’s been a while since I actually wrote a post about the state of my love life, hasn’t it? Well to say the least, it’s had its ups and downs recently. Without going into too much detail (because you know I never do), it has not been easy being me lately. Currently, I do not have one. No love life. Single, not dating, to my knowledge. What does that mean for Donny? Your guess is as good as mine. I wrote a Facebook status earlier which read “You ever feel like you always find yourself back to the drawing board but never end up using it?” Right now I really feel adrift. No idea where to go or what to do when it comes to dating and relationships and stuff. The Donny of yesteryear would have had this lull figured out in no time. Actually…he’d probably be doing the same thing I’m doing now. I seem to find myself in situations which either compromise or reinforce my “nice guy” title. Only on the surface, of course. Nothing changes who I am. Bottom lining it, it really feels like no one really wants what I want. I would imagine I want what every black and blue hearted person wants–someone who feels the same way about them. It’s easy ending up on the receiving end. You know, someone really caring for you and you really not feeling them. I guess it’s also just as easy ending up on the unrequited love end. Well…easier. But yea, no one wants what I want. Just a carefree romance, y’know? I know no romance is literally carefree, but you get what I’m saying right? There’s no doubt as to how the two of us feel about each other. That’s what I want. No guessing, no games, just romance. It feels horrible having to second guess kissing someone or holding their hand, or feeling unwanted or under appreciated. I don’t want a half relationship. I want it all. That is all. Till next time, LEAVE A DAMN COMMENT. Thank you Comments:

Sunday Morning…
So I’m at breakfast with Kay Kay and it seems I’m not the only one who keeps a journal. Of course, mine doesn’t have to do with boys, fashion and makeup. We’re at pancake house right now. I’ll snag a picture of my blueberry pancakes if I don’t inhale them first. Is it bad that I gave up red meat for Lent but I’m
The cool guy sitting next to us just said “Bacon’s a food group.” I totally agree! Breakfast altogether is my fav! (And it was delicious!) Now it’s off to the movies.
