I really tried hard to make it work. But it wasn;t about what I did or how I did it, it was about Gary. I figure… Read how I did it…
How I did it: not alot of money and a recent breakup from Gary left me lonely, sad, depressed with little motivation to do anything. I did forsee this coming so I made sure too plan one fun thing to do every day. I even managed to follow through with them. I saw a trainer at the gym and set up a new exercise program.
