I'm doing 22 things
i realize that over the years of drinking, i’ve packed on the pounds. even now that the drinking has dropped to a minimum my ‘jack daniels weight’ still lingers. not that i’m obese or anything, but these extra pounds have got to go!!!

How I did it
It made me
discouraged. 
How I did it: i've seen 2 doctors and been on 4 different meds and have yet to see any real results. my first doc told me i basically had to learn to live with side effects like being aggressive towards others and constantly feeling exhausted. i saw minimal positive results and one med even gave me a head-to-toe body rash. how is any of this any better than living with the depression itself? all in all, it's been completely discouraging.

It made me
happy & healthy
How I did it: diet. exercise. stress. the diet & exercise were intentional, the stress was not and actually caused other health related issues. i recommend sticking with just the diet and exercise if you can. Read how I did it…
