An interesting story. My binging last night left me feeling a bit frustrated with myself and with a resound to get my shit together. I was shirtless running up Chestnut Ridge and passed a burly man. When passing he says "I wish I looked like you". This just goes to show that no matter how bad you might feel, someone else wishes they were in your shoes.
