Lung damage must suck. I wouldn't give up on your physical fitness too easily though. You do exercise and you're relatively young. A lot a people do nothing and are suprised when they find out they're not fit and they blame it on getting old etc. You might be suprised by how much fitter you can be with just a little regular exercise within 5 years.

I know a few older people who took up exercise as pensioners who are much fitter now than their peers now. Most of us know reformed smokers and overweight people who gradually turned their habits around and started exercise and became fit.

Even if you start behind others when you consider that most people do nothing regularly doing something 3 times a week might bring you up to their level more easily than you realise.

Real loosers are loosers because they don't care or can't be bothered and they usually don't know they're loosers. If you care and you make a little effort - even if you don't succeed all the time (because no one does) you're not a looser!
Yay Sharla says I'm not a complete loser I feel better now

Haha just kidding. Actually I feel pretty positive again now. I've been ill with flu for the past three weeks and was starting to get down about it. All my six months of training seemed to be going to waste but I'm picking myself up again now.

Have you ever 'The Road Less Travelled'? That's the book I quoted.

It's sooooo good, I ended up having to buy 5 copies because my friends kept stealing my copy and never bringing them back. It was written in the late 70's but it's an amazing book, I've read all of Peck's books.

Later in life he went a bit OTT and started calling God a 'She' which turned me off but his early work is incredibly powerful.

I should definitely study psychology. I got an A for A level and virtually everyone I ever meet tells me I should be a counseller or psychologist just after talking to me for an hour or so.

The trouble is I'm intelligent and have a nice manner with people I guess, but I'm not stable. I can't commit to anything and generally just subconsciously fuck my life up at every possibility.

I need to force myself out of my comfort zones. All my mates are getting married, kids, good jobs and their own houses and I'm renting from a mate, single and jobless.

My mate came around tonight with his fiancee uninvited to drop their wedding invite around and I was sitting in my boxers in front of my laptop eating a curry with a pile of dirty washing on the floor which I had started sorting through a couple hours before but got distracted.

It's moments like that that I realise I need to buck up!
