Box • Those Bitter Sweet Boxes

          Each of us have regrets. You know you have a regret if you think, "What if?" It can be from a wrong decision or anywhere else and to be frank, I have no regrets. Maybe I do, but I like to keep them in a small box. A small box that I've kept somewhere even I don't know. A small box that I would open after I become successful in life. I would open it and then say, "What? I really did that? I'm so stupid!" I would never abandon any kind of memory, I just like to keep it inside so that I will be able to keep moving forward. Today, I have opened that box for reasons and now I would like to share to you what I saw.
          Okay in that little box I saw that I opened more, no, a lot, of boxes. Some were small, some were big but they held all the same content. Okay so here it goes. I regret those times I ate too much chocolate last year, and maybe the year before that too, and maybe the year before that also. Now that I think back on it, I think that I did eat a lot of chocolates. Actually, those chocolates were from my relatives in different countries who are so very kind to give us chocolates of different varieties each year. I specially like those dark chocolate ones. Maybe as you can see, I kind of regret eating those many chocolates. I have been gaining more skin. I did try to burn those fats by dancing to Just Dance 2014 videos in YouTube and also some Lady Gaga's choreography in different songs. My family was proud of the sweat I'm giving off during those times but I guess those pumping, kicking, and moving weren't enough to get rid of them fats. I have been eating lots of healthy foods too but I guess the sweets weighed more than dancing and eating healthy.
          In addition to exercises and eating healthy, I have thought of another way to avoid this pain and agony. Okay, I exaggerated but seriously, I have been thinking that if I can't stop eating them, I would just spread them in days. So that the fats I get won't be concentrated in one day so that my exercises will still be effective. Especially now, my cousins, you know the ones I've been telling you about, are actually back now in the Philippines and they did sure bring a lot of chocolates and so far, I have been doing good. Those packs and boxes of chocolate were not yet opened and I'm so proud of it. I was able to overcome this temptation of opening them. They are actually beside me right now.
          We throw this boxes sometime later on after they are emptied but these memories, all of these, are kept in that small, little box in a place even I don't know. I am sure that I won't throw that box away because it is what made me to be me today. I'll keep it and then after I get my figure that I always wanted, I would re-open that box and be proud to say to everyone, "Hey, everybody! This was me, and this is me now!"
