Day Two: Regrets

I have made it through the second day so far. I find my resolve weakening now that everyone has gone to bed. I will not give in though. It seems somewhat early in the program to be giving up. I have been so hungry that I felt sick and for much of the day I have felt faint.

I have been feeling a great deal of regret about my life and the choices that I have made. I realised that the hyper-real existence that I have been living, filled with fast food and fast choices has just served to cover up the reality that I have been neglectful of my health and that I too am mortal. When you are young you feel that you can get away with anything but eventually you have to pay the bill and you find that it just ain’t true. There is always a price, and eventually, you have to pay.

I guess too that I realised that I did not always get as much fun out of overeating as I would have liked. Sometimes, sure, but not often enough for the consequences that I am facing now.
