How I did it
It made me
more confident 
How I did it: I actually didn't change all that much, but I'll tell you what I did change:1) I stopped eating at those oh-so-tempting chain restaurants with their food that is chock full of hidden calories.2) I started drinking less - from a few drinks a week to maybe 1 a week. 3) I started going to the gym about twice a week.4) I make a real effort to eat healthy. Strangely, when I exercise, I want to eat healthy food. Yeah, I'm a weirdo. Read how I did it…
It made me
more confident
How I did it: I used to belong to a gym, but it was really expensive and I didn't use it nearly enough to justify the cost. I finally joined a cheaper gym that wasn't as posh, but had all the amenities I need. Note: My main reason for calling this "completed" is because I need a more concrete goal than "exercise more." Technically I've completed it, because I was exercising not at all, and now I go to the gym about 2-3 times a week. Read how I did it…
It made me
feel better
How I did it: I found my therapist on Psychologytoday.com. She appealed to me because she is located close to where I work, and focuses on areas in which I have or have had struggles. Read how I did it…
