Root of all
So, lots of random little things get plugged together in this post.
First of all, I've decided that I didn't binge yesterday. Which in a way is empowering--it shows me that I can overeat without bingeing. Which is a good thing to remember. One extra cookie (why do I always use cookies as an example?) is not a reason to throw off the rest of my ( Read more... )

I did go ahead and work out today, and I felt great. So maybe I was just having some morning fatigue. And I really did want to go for a walk--I haven't been outside in far too long.

It's hard to forgive yourself for failing. But, hey, my brother was rejected at EVERY SINGLE college he applied. He got into a local private university because of his incredible test scores and a counselor's call after all the acceptance/rejection letters had been mailed out and he was scrambling.

My mom is into it, and in one book (no clue which one) it talks about how we all have life lessons to learn and that all the challenges we face (i.e. rejection from colleges) are designed to teach us our life lessons. And, in the end, we end up exactly where we're supposed to be.
