Tell us a story of when you failed self improvement

Self improvement isn't always a upward slope, sometimes old habits make their nasty return, tell us some examples and how you recovered.

I was on a high, I was getting up at a normal time, practicing for the london marathon, doing chores and being the person I wanted to be. Then I got a bad sports injury, I could no longer run 10k 3 times a week like I used to. From there everything fell apart. I had some work leave where I went back to getting up late, doing no house work and eating unhealthy. My parents were not happy with this and their attitude towards me showed that. One day, when I came across some old posts of mine when I first got onto self improvement where I saw that I was happy, so i worked to get myself back in order. Now I am better then I was.
