Taking back my life...and my body

Between depression, a very dramatic coming out of the closet, and anxiety, I managed to put on over 30 pounds during college. I graduated, came out, quit a lousy job, and moved back home. When I saw 180 on th scale, my heart sank...what did I do to myself, who was this person? I didn't know what to do or where to go. Thankfully, I found support in therapy, support group, a personal trainer, and motivating family...today marks six months since coming out and over 20 pounds lost!!! I even got the motivation to go to law school! For those struggling, know this, you can win, and I'm here to be a support!
