Ouch!

Today I started running again, and my body is certainly reminding me that I've taken the last month and a half off. Back when I was still in school, I was running 3 miles straight, and working my way up to 4, but today I couldn't even run a single mile without stopping. I did run an entire mile, but I had to take a couple breaks. Slightly upsetting, but I'll get back into it. Gotta keep a positive attitude, right?

The Title

I've named this blog "No More Self-Control" because of something a friend said months ago as we were eating in our school's cafeteria. She had finished her meal, and was simply waiting for the rest of the table to also finish, when she suddenly got up and announced, "Since I have no self-control, I'm going to visit the dessert table." It was funny at the time, of course, but later I began thinking--it's true. We have lost the ability to simply refuse to eat something if it's there. We eat like it's a holiday, everyday.
