That, by far is the F-ing FUNNIEST line I've read in a long time! I'm here sitting in Jack in the Box and people are probably wondering why that weird kid in the corner is laughing to himself
LMAO!
Jamie - this was pure honesty ... funny how honesty can easily become the best comic material there is. Maybe b/c people can relate ... maybe not. It's funny either way! *^_^* I should definitely add this to my list of sherry-isms. For those of you who don't know my "isms" this list includes things past, present and future that I've said mostly out of honesty and anger, but mostly anger that turns out to be frighteningly hilarious ... I've kept mentioning that I should start keeping a tab of all of my "isms" but thus far have been fruitless in this plan. Maybe I'll start with my blog now. Here are a couple just to give you an idea;
1. "I just can't TAKE this BITCH!"
2. "Ew! Get away from her! You do NOT want to get kneaded into Pillsbury Doughboys rolls!"
There are many more and I've forgotten many others ... if you remember any of my more memorable sherry-isms please feel free to email them to me or leave a comment ... I will post them I promise no matter how embarrassing they may be to me! You gotta laugh at life right?

Hi Shay - *^_~* I'm not entirely certain whether it's working or not because my period botched the ENTIRE experiment ... which can only mean that I have to do this ALL OVER AGAIN. On a high note, however, post-period I dropped 5lbs ... I don't normally gain/lose this much weight during a period run. It's not unheard of, but generally quite unusual, at least for me. Whether this is a by-product of the Pink Patch, I can't be sure. But I can't say that it does or doesn't work because my period didn't give it a fair shake. So I guess I'll have to stay on for the 30-day program and see how that turns out. I think 30-days is a better judge of a product than 6 days. I'd be shocked if a weight-loss product worked in 6 days and I wasn't working out. I'd be frightened to tell you the truth. But in terms of giving you energy ... my period killed that so I can't judge that and hunger/appetite control, I wasn't as hungry as I normally am and didn't binge as much so that's a good sign. I'll be receiving the 30-day supply in a couple of weeks I'm sure, these companies don't wait too long before billing you and sending you the product, so we'll continue with the PINK PATCH experiment at that point in time. On to the next topic!!!

Pink Day 5
Day 5 of the Pink Patch. Again, I have to say no real marked difference in the way I feel. It's actually worse. I feel worse. But I absolutely CAN NOT blame this on the Pink Patch in any way. I realized that my hunger pangs were still stronger than normal because I started the Pink Patch on Monday (2/4) and I got my period yesterday (Thursday 2/7). This would account for many things, b/c right before my period I get extremely hungry and surprisingly I managed to not binge prior to my period and I attribute that most likely to the pink patch exercising a little control. I feel worse because I have cramps and is definitely not a side effect of the Pink Patch. This little 6-day trial may be entirely botched because of my poor planning and so I think I will get the 30-Day supply and re-try this experiment. I will be pairing the 30-Day Pink Patch supply test along with my gym membership and an exercise regiment. I can't WAIT to start exercising again! I love the release of endorphins I get right after a really great work out that I just don't get when I'm not working out. Not to mention my clothes tend to fit better (LOL) when I'm working out and I don't feel like such a pudgeball all the time. I'll let you know though! Haha!

Pink Day 4
Day 4 of the Pink Patch and I'm really starting to wonder if I should even bother letting them charge me another $39.95 plus s&h for a 30-day supply especially since I feel like there hasn't really been any added benefits. Maybe this works for people who haven't already been extremely active and fit like myself? But again, I do have to re-iterate that I haven't been working out and therefore haven't noticed any major differences, additionally I feel like it's difficult to see any real results after 6 days and no exercise. Clearly, eating a healthy diet and exercise are your major factors to any healthy weight loss program. I'm happy to announce, however, that I will be returning to the gym - NYSC, I believe. I will go through with the 30-day supply and see if any major changes occur in my workout energy levels and results. Catch ya tomorrow for Day 5!

Pink Day 3
Day 3 of the Pink Patch and still no real marked difference. I'm starting to wonder if this thing is really working at all or not? Well, the real culprit is that even though I am eating healthier, I'm not going to the gym and therefore not working out, which in turn means that I won't really see the added benefits of the pink patch ... supposedly. I wonder if it's even really working. The one thing that I do have to complement the Pink Patch on though, is the fact that it doesn't just suppress your appetite. Many supplements and weight loss pills out there today, suppress your appetite so much that you just don't eat and end up starving, which will definitely make you lose weight. But when you start eating again, your metabolism will be so slow that you'll gain double the weight back. The pink patch, doesn't take away your appetite altogether, I'm still hungry at points throughout the day, but I just get full faster and don't eat as much. Inherently, I'm a snacker so even though I continue to snack through the day I don't feel hunger pangs and as a result, will eat less when I'm snacking. Other than that though ... no real change in energy levels or moods elevations and definitely I don't see any fat loss yet. Although, honestly, I don't expect to see the fat loss ...

Pink Day 2
Hey all - Day 2 of the Pink Patch experiment continues. So far, definitely a curb in appetite is apparent ... although not entirely absent ... I was starving when lunch time rolled around today! Granted I was talking to my boyfriend (a very serious, barfarricious, emotional, not-a-whole-lotta-fun type of chat by the way) until 2:30pm. Waaaaay past my usual 1:00pm lunch time. But I don't have my typical need-to-munch urges that I generally get in the middle of the day so I guess that's working. I did wake up feeling especially spry this morning, but I wouldn't necessarily say that my energy levels are up? No noted weight loss although I don't expect that to occur on day 2... on a really wonderful note though. My cousin in Colorado, Christine Lee, is getting married! Her boyfriend popped the question on saturday night and they've been in blissville since, or so the pictures would seem to suggest.
Gosh, the marriage strings are starting to occur ... I wonder who in my family is going to be next? Janney? She would seem the closest as she has been with her boyfriend for nearly 8 years now. Yeesh, they're practically married by common law especially since they live together too. Teresa ... is still too young and wants to play around (I can't blame her! Muwaahahahahahah). Jennifer? Well Jenchen, doesn't have a man currently but that doesn't mean a thing. I mean I could potentially see Jennifer getting married before I do. There's always me ... but my recent conversation with my boyfriend suggests that marriage is waaay beyond the scope of consideration and I'm DEFINITELY NOT ready in any capacity for marriage. Yikes! The thought is frightening! The prospect of saying VOWS of spending the rest of your life with someone is INTENSE! I mean you're promising ALOT of things; for better or worse, in sickness and health, until death do us part! And you know, the devil has really penetrated our society b/c alot of people who get married today get married with the mindset that "well if it doesn't work out, we can always get divorced". Which is a HORRIBLE mindset to be in ... why would you marry someone that you don't want to be together with forever?! I mean, you promise FOREVER or at least for the REST OF YOUR LIFE when you say "I DO" until death do you part! How can people take those kinds of vows so lightly? It's just insanity to me. Once you do get married, it's no longer an "I" or "my" thing, it becomes a "we" and "our" thing. Scary. I don't know that I'm ready to share like that. I like "MY" space, I like "MY" apartment where I hang out with "MY" dogs, laying on "MY" bed. Marriage will blur that sense of self-identity and individualism that defines a person and blends them with another person and then suddenly you don't have a self-identity anymore. You have a couple identity now and you're known as a unit and not as individual, it's always oh "they're so cute", "they're so nice", etc... I like my individuality and prize it tremendously and the thought of no longer having that is terrifying. I'll have to definitely discuss this more in-depth a little later though, I do have to go... but tomorrow is Pink Day 3, stay posted!

Pink Day 1
Hi Everyone! I officially got my 6-day free trial of the Pink Patch, it arrived at my house on friday evening but I wanted to wait until Monday to start it officially. I put it on at 11:15am today and already I feel like it's curbing my appetite ... unless I'm just willing myself into not being hungry. I bought a fruit salad for breakfast and I haven't eaten much and already feel completely full. Although it's also entirely possible that I would feel full because fruits are very filling. They do have extremely high water content. Other than that I don't feel any different yet. The ingredients (proprietary formula) that they list on the package are; Fucus Vesiculosus Extract. 5-HTP, Guarana. Zinc Pyruvate, Yerba Mate, Flaxseed Oil, Lecithin, L-Carnitine, Zinc Citrate. As I had mentioned in my very first Pink Patch blog, Fucus Vesiculous is a seaweed also known as Bladder Wrack and is common in asian dishes. The Pink Patch claims on the front of it's package that "It's Not a Diet ... It's a Patch. 100% Herbal Weight Loss Patch. Simple, Effective and Discreet, One-a-day Topical Patch." In the packaging insert it claims that the 1 Pink Patch will give you 24-hour appetitie control and weight loss, boost your energy for your busy lifestyle, elevate your mood so you look & feel great and burn 48% more fat in your stubborn areas. It encourages you as well to get your next shipment of the The Pink Patch and if you're not satisfied within 30 days of receiving the product, return it and they'll give you a FULL REFUND. I don't know if you can see results in 6 days or not but I guess I'll let this run through to get a 30-day supply for $39.95 plus s&h and see what happens.
I need to also heavily endorse the fact that this product, like all other products out there, is NOT a miracle weight loss product. NOTHING and I do mean nothing can substitute for proper exercise and eating habits! So don't think that you can eat McDonald's for breakfast, Burger King for lunch and Wendy's for Dinner everyday and still lose weight. You're just completely fooling yourself. As for me, I am changing my eating habits ... again. I'm a huge health and junk food nut! I believe a balanced diet is the best method for weight loss. I have a 5' 6" frame and I used to weight 205lbs in high school. I would have been a perfect candidate for NBC's "The Biggest Loser", but it wasn't around back then (I graduated from HS in 1998). Anyways, I didn't lose weight until after college and I started to get back into dancing. I've lost 50lbs on my own since then and have kept it off. I've done just about every single diet fad that is out in the world today (ie, atkins, south beach, etc..) and I have to say, nothing works as well as being active and eating properly. Now that I've moved to NYC though and no longer live in wonderful southern california ... outdoor activities haven't been as readily available to me, especially during the winter. Additionally I no longer have access to a huge gym facility for $30/month like I did in california, it's far more expensive-o in NYC. But I am signing up for a gym membership soon and would like to get back on track. I'm looking to lose a very stubborn 15lbs more and hopefully this Pink Patch can launch me on my way. Hopefully, my back continues to cooperate with me! *^_~*
