I'll assume your post means that you are also a muslim.. So, As-Salaamu Alaykum Wa Rahmatullahi Wa Barakatuh! Feel free to speak freely here, and don't be shy!
Yes. I wear hijab, alhamdulillah. I have never heard one negative comment here in Wisconsin, mashaAllah. I did live in Germany for almost five years, so that's quite a change for me (I was insulted just about every time I left my apartment while living there, subhanAllah).
ALHAMDULILLAH!!! Its wonderful when the people arround us are so understanding.. Sorry to be rude about the Germany thing, but I totally know the feeling... I stayed with my grandparents for a while, who live on a private RV Ranch in southern Arizona.. They didnt have too much of a problem, but all 50 other elderly people had a HUGE problem.. I didnt think old people could be so cruel... I guess I was wrong.. lol
By the way, the trip was FABULOUS! I walked myself into some first class blisters, but I got some fantastic photos.. I'll post them soon!
Pwah. I got a scale yesterday... I'm afraid to say that I weigh so much that I'm embarassed to even write it here! Which is sickening, because I know that I've been losing weight based on how my clothes feel... InshaAllah I'll stick to my plans and get back to normal!
i wish i could buy a scale.. but they are so expensive here :/ The one i have to use is a normal scale, not digital,, so i dont feel like i get an accurate reading.. but.. its saturday... i go weigh today.. insha'allah ive dropped that kilo for the week...
ive been working on controling cravings by waiting an hour, and if its still there, then eat 2 bites, or drink 2 oz, or one small (if its smaller than 3 of my pinkies put together) .. its been working out well
