Today was really hard. I’ve made a mess of my personal life and just basically really screwed up and hurt some people I really care about. I got home and was just feeling horrible about myself and guilty and just plain sad. That would normally be the time I’d bury myself in a big bowl of ice cream and hide under my covers. But I’m coming to realize that that’s not going to help at all, Ill just feel worse about myself. So I got my butt of my bed and went to cheer practice. The combination of being with different people who love me and the endorphins from our work out is exactly what I needed. I’m going to get through this and somehow things will turn out okay. The only way to address a problem in your life is to face it head on, not hide behind food. this is a lesson I’ve been learning the hard way, but at least I’m learning it.
