How I did it
It made me
happy 
How I did it: I passed my CBT. I started on a moped but it got stolen. I took geared bike lessons and bought a 125 which I have been now riding for the last 5 months. I am now going to go for the A2 licence. Read how I did it…

I am now doing this effortlessly
15 months ago
I had to stop playing football for a while as I had exams to do and I moved to another part of london further away from the sports centre where we played. So I joined my local gym, and in order not to waste my money I started going regularly and started using all the different machines, experimented with a lot of the different classes, from spinning to ‘body pump’ until I was doing what I needed to do to break into a sweat and feel good afterwards. I used the steam, sauna and aromatherapy rooms there, read the papers and end up going at least twice a week and play football on top of that. I lost over a stone over about 3 months but I was also watching what I was eating. My lighter frame meant I put less pressure on my ankles as I had been prone to spraining my left angle and I am more pacy during the game. The thing is that I don’t dread it like I thought I would and am really enjoy it. It helps reduce my my stress levels.

This gets harder everyday and infact it’s easier to be miserable ans stay miserable. I need coffee to run off and waking up early in the morning is always a bit of a chew evening if I have something interesting to look forward too. It might be something to do with my diet as I’ve been eating alot of junk recently and spplementing my diet with vitamin pills.
I think the major factor is the impending doom of the likely chances are that I had screwed up my retakes and the possible consequence of my company withdrawing their sponsorship, and also not knowing how I can approach this at a different angle as I feel like I’ve out sooo much time and energy into where I can not honestly see myself attempting it all over again for a third time as my instincts tell me that those who have reached a stage that they are doing this paper for the third time, those are the people who inevitably get caught be in never completing the course.
