Of failures and the need for change.
Unsurprisingly, things hasn't really turned around for the better since my last post. Reality was so kind as to remind me just how difficult it is to change your bad habits once you've grown so much into them that they fit you like a pair of latex gloves.
I haven't managed to stop my binge/purge cycle yet, but I did go to tae kwon do practice with my friend yesterday (which we haven't done in months, due to her being too busy). Needless to say I am now horribly sore all over, and next practice is tomorrow. Oh joy! But the exercises they make us during our half hour long warm-up session is great for abs and arms, so I'll try to refrain from whining too much. It's my own fault I'm so out of shape now, after all. And I have that 5K coming up on Sunday next weekend, ugh...
I'm thinking of starting things off drastically, like with a fast. I'd be able to pull it off tomorrow probably, as long as it's just a 24 hour one. Last time I had to get back into restricting, fasting for one day really helped me distance myself from food. You know what, I'll do that. It'll be perfect for proving to myself that I still have the willpower to see this through.
On another note, this year's play for my school's production was revealed. We'll be performing Treasure Island and auditions will be next week. I'm hanging out with two of my friends this Saturday to practice our lines for the audition. I'm ridiculously excited to start working on the play, as it's always a ton of fun, not to mention we get to skip classes when we get nearer to the end in order to practice.
Here's to hoping for a successful 24 hour fast tomorrow!
