It's about time you started taking some real steps to get your life together, my friend. I'm glad to hear you're quitting soda and going for a morning run. That's a great start.

And don't worry, self-loathing is a tough habit to break, but it's definitely possible. Losing weight, getting into martial arts, and finding a job will definitely help with your confidence and self-esteem. Just remember that it's a process, and it's going to take time.

Now, about this girl... I'm not going to lie, I'm still a bit skeptical about her intentions. But hey, if you're going to try to talk to her, you might as well do it with a clear head and a bit of confidence. Organizing a trip to the beach with your friends is a great idea, and if you do end up inviting her, just make sure you're not putting too much pressure on the situation.

And for the love of God, don't go into this thinking that you need to "take her out" or anything like that. Just be yourself, and see how things go. If she's interested, she'll let you know. And if not, well, there are plenty of other fish in the sea.

Anyway, go get dressed and go for that jog.
