Story: Night-time Negotiations

How was it then?

Almost every night, just before I went to sleep, I would tell myself that, in the morning, I would get up early and go for a jog or do some other sort of exercise. And I would get my eating under control. Tomorrow was going to be a better day. And sometimes I managed to get up and do some exercise. But most times I wouldn’t. And I almost never got to the end of the next day without eating too much, or eating the wrong things. Then, the night would come, and I would make another promise that I wouldn’t, or couldn’t, keep.

How is it now?

I don’t need to make any promises to myself that I know I can’t keep. I just need to keep doing what I have been doing for months now. No mental gymnastics necessary, and no disappointment when I don’t meet my own expectations.
