I'm not the man I never was

Started taking martial arts classes this week. Thought it would be a good way to work out, learn something new and rebuild the confidence.

Two classes later, the results are in: I'm sore as hell and have had the crap beaten out of me by a couple of teenage girls. One of them is 15 and weighs about 90 pounds. Looks like one of the girls in the eating disorder group from my recent rehab stay. Anyway, my instructor told me to punch her in head. Bad idea. My wrist will heal and the swelling will go down, but I'm not sure I'll ever be the same man again. (DWG Weight: 237 lbs.)
