How I did it
It made me 
How I did it: I got counseling, took 3 different anti-depressants, and finally I just got out of my old relationship and learned to live for myself. I'm still discovering who I am and what I am going to do in my life, but the negative thoughts, feelings of loneliness, unworthiness and such have left. I'm not sure what actually worked and I'd like to think it was a combo of all the different methods I used to battle depression. For counseling I saw abou… Read how I did it…

I know this is a typical New Years Resolution, but I really wanted to get in shape after noticing that I have been steadily gaining weight (through pictures and ill-fitting clothes) for about a year. So me and a coworker somehow came to this discussion and she shared that it was something she wanted to do too. We then heard about a promotion 24 Hr Fitness was having and decided to join together. We started in mid-February and try to go consistently—only taking 2 days off max a week. At first we weren’t going to diet (not starve, but watch what we eat and incorporate healthier foods) but we tried it for a week and saw a bigger loss (duh, right?). So that’s where we are now. I recently came back from an out of town trip and some of my friends noticed that I was looking slimmer. It was very motivating and rewarding to hear and it made me feel that my hard work is paying off! My goal is summer, which I am classifying as the beginning of June. I’ve pretty much have been doing cardio and I was squeezing in a weight-training class once a week, but I think I’m going to do the lunges and curls on my own time. I’m excited and hope that I can really accomplish this!
Oh and my goal was to lose about 15 pounds total and right now I’ve lost about 5. I’m not really focusing on the weight anymore, but on how I feel and how my clothes fit. For summer, one of my friends who’s a trainer said he’d train me for toned-ness, so I think that’s when I’ll really focus on building muscle.
i started taking my medication about one month ago again. this time regularly! i’m seeing my psychiatrist on a steady basis and have also started attending a relationship group. i feel bettter, even though my bf and i broke up about a month ago. i think this is making it tougher, but i am surprised by my own strength! i’m hopeful that if i continue to be productive by seeing my doctor, taking meds, attending therapy groups, and being with friends and family i can overcome this depression!! it will take some time though. we’ll see how it goes.
