Changing your life

Rarely post on here anymore.. poster formerly known as littlerobbieh and slow joe but wanted to make a post that might inspire others who are in a bad place. Had bad depression all my life, always hated myself, been overweight and other stuff. Decided in Sept to try to turn my life around, weighed 16 stone 10 and was as low in morale as I could be. Took 7 months off the alcohol, trained, ate better, looked after myself. Now I currently weigh 11 stone 6 and wanting to get down to about 10 stone 8. Not only that my mental health and confidence is amazing, I feel and look like a different person, regularly running 15-20 miles about 4 or 5 times a week. It’s so liberating actually liking yourself and thinking you have a purpose in life, being able to do stuff with my son and chatting to people not trying to hide in my shell. I’m 41 now and have my whole life ahead of me, met a great lass who I’m only mates with but hopefully it might lead somewhere. Life is good. Had some great times on here in the past, some lovely people who post on here. Hope everyone is well.

Was great reading this, and I hope this post reaches some people for whom it might offer some hope and promise that things can change. Am really pleased for you. So much doom and gloom in many ways at the moment, and it's just brilliant to read something like this.
