I need the song started over, your crying made me miss my favourite part


I'm continuing to get better at doing every day-things and everything is pretty much going in the right direction. I hate admitting it, but I'm actually very proud of myself for managing those things, even though it's just "regular" things like getting up early, keeping my room clean, grocery shopping etc. I've had a problem with doing all those things for years due to my mental state, but I can feel that things have gotten a lot easier to do for me.
I rarely wake up with self-hatred anymore. It happens, but more and more days are getting between them, and I wake up in a great mood most of the time. Within the first 10 minutes I'm downstairs in the kitchen and making my morning coffee. I think that's pretty great when I previously spent up 3-4 hours in my bed after I woke up. I also wake up at 8 or 9 AM naturally by now.

Eating is still getting better. As guessed, the thoughts of it all are still there, but I'm much better at ignoring them. Even though I know it's logical to get more of an appetite when you're working out, I'm also confused because I'm pretty much eating all the time. Working out definitely pays off - I'm in a much better mood when I've done it, I sleep better, I'm gaining muscle mass and I feel better about myself. As it is right now, I work out every other day - about 30 minutes of cardio and between 20 to 40 minutes of strength training, all depending on my energy levels.
My fear of grains is coming back and it's something I battle with these days, but yesterday I ate a bagel just to say "fuck you" to the thoughts about it and nothing happened (dun dun dun - what a surprise). So that's probably something I'll challenge myself with again either today or tomorrow.

I think it's weird how many memories a song can contain. "Plays pretty for baby" just came on shuffle, and now I'm re-living the summer of 2011. Many of my back-then-roommates and I had a craze with that song the whole summer and I have a lot of great memories attached to that song. It was the summer where Jonas and I fell in love, Emilia and I went to London for the first time, and lots of nights where spent in Søndermarken with guitars and laughing like maniacs. I have a lot of memories playing in my head right now and I miss it a bit, but I'm so happy that I got to experience those memories. It was also the summer where I strained my toe because I wrestled with a roommate in the dark while being drunk.
