Actually, if you admit it out loud, it's quite the opposite. If not success, at least progress. It's when you keep it in, keep it to yourself, that you fail. And it is not just your failure then. It builds up and leaks out and everyone can tell something is wrong. Before I draw that out any further, just know that letting it out is the only way to deal with that problem.

As far as stress, exercising, eating, et al, I've heard that a good workout raises your metabolism for about 36 hours. So, even if you don't exercise just for its own sake, you can use it to utilize the food you do eat more effectively and completely. If you can do that, it should also give you more energy and mental focus than without.

This, at least, has been my experience, especially in the last couple months. (I never even liked working out before, but now I want to keep doing it. I feel better about myself and the way I look, and it makes me feel like I could do anything I set my mind to.)

Katie, you are one of the most amazing people I know. And you are by no means a failure. And I understand the writing thing.... it is so much easier to write it sometimes than it is to actually look at a person and ask for help. You'll get through it. Take one thing at a time, and then cross it off your list.
