Coming back from a long and dark road

short story, Hi in 2004 i came back from afghanistan, after 6 month i was diagnosed with a PTSD, so i was put on high anti depressor and sleeping pills and over that i would drink around a 40 oz of whiskey alomst everynight to be able to sleep. i was 190 pounds at the time and running marathons

i fought till 2009 barely sleeping 2 hours a night nightmares and so on and finally im fine i sleep well my life is very sucessful but hey after all that im 255 pounds now haha.( in 2007 i was at my highest 287 pounds)

I survived that, im very motivated and strong and my next goal is to get back to 210 pounds, i wont stop till that last pound is gone im gonna make a war to my body as much as i made war to my mind , im gonna win this new fight!!!!!

Im gonna exercise moderatley to intense everyday or two day i want people that will follow me and the others and that will do as the other do and even do more!

WHO IS WITH ME!! WHO WANNA BE MOTIVATED AND KEEP UP WITH ME, WE ARE GOING TO TRAIN LIKE BEASTS AND BE THE BEST WE CAN !!!

    Hi...
    As a Desert Storm Veteran, I understand what war can do to a person. I still relive some of the injuries I bought back during that time(I bought back some victims of the SCUD missile attack in Saudi Arabia). Thanks for serving and even thought we were in different branches(I was Air Force), I will never let a fellow soldier go into battle alone or leave him there. I am sending a friend request.
