I mean it definitely has affected my life. It has made me appreciate physical activity a little more cause I'm not able to do a lot of it now. I'm glad now that in high school I did do cross country cause now I wouldn't have the chance. If I hadn't done it then I never would have known what it was like to run 5K as fast as you can and then puke and then fall down on the ground. It is kind of a great feeling, actually. I kind of have to put it behind me. I'm trying to forget it. It really impeded my a lot and I try not to think about things that hold me down I guess.
