I was in good shape 2 years ago, went into a depression and turned to alcohol. As we know that doesn't help depression in anyway. I packed on 60 pounds and February 26th rolled around and I threw my hands in the air and told myself enough is enough. I started training going to the gym 4-5 times a week and hoping for change. I go through some discouragement because I am not seeing any change on the scale and only slightly in my physique. But I remind myself it takes time. Sorry about this long post.
