welcome people

Ok,I have to say a few things first (3ashan nebtdi 3ala maya beda)

1-why am i doing this?

-coz i was very unfortunate to be brought up in a household that encourged me to use my faith first and my brain second which is a method proved to be a success in the arms of my family but a huge failure everywhere else in egypt,and since i love my country and have no intention of leaving it to another country where i wash dishes all my life to end up with a forign passport to discover i haven't lived at all ,I have decided to Talk,maybe with the purpose to think I'm not alone in this,that there other young women (I'm 21 by the way) that are feeling frustrated by there inability to shine,to be truly happy,to be truly comfortable in their own skin

2-what do i plan to talk about?
- everything that i face everyday from happy things to huge frustrations. and as i said in my profile,no it's not going to be dark and gloomy coz i truly believe you can transform your own life into what ever you want it to be, but feel free to comment on anything or to say WHATEVER you want to say

but i do have to say one special thing,when i said "my faith" i meant that yes i do believe in god and follow him all the way (isa)but this isn't dedicated to breaching the words of amr khaled and the likes of him,it's not my thing besides i think you get enough of that on tv and in newspapers,public transportation and everywhere that has oxygen and carbon dioxide (for all of you who graduated thanwya 3ama adabi and that includes me i mean "air" and for further information check your younger brother's 3rd grade scince book)

the most important question that-i guess- is on your minds is.....

who the hell am i?

am a 21 year old,a virgin (am saying this coz i dont need all those perverts out there to offer to fuck me,no thanks) I work in a very nice job that kills a part of me everyday coz i cant be creative,a job that is very well established and very respectable,most people even think i dont deserve it (we 7war eni da7'la belwasta which is partly true but that's another story that i will openly discuss later,just remind me dear reader)
am over weight, i've had a lot of issues about it but I'm working on it and I've made my peace with it and began to ditch fad and crash diets to actually transform my self into a better person phyiscally and emotionally
I'll be tracking my weight loss journey so also feel free to post your thoughts on that, i know alot of egyptian girls can relate to that issue and since I've become an expert on that matter after years of studying please share your experience with body image issues and ask any questions too

guess that's enough for today,coz I'm doing this from work :-)
