The doctor gave me a 2-month prescription for 10 milligrams of Prozac to be taken once daily, and referred me to the UIC Psychiatry department for further counseling. I filled the prescription and started taking the drug in the hopes that it would “fix” me. I also started exercising three to four days a week as opposed to the two or three times a month where I got the motivation to get off the couch and go to the local YMCA.

My dad does it and got me to sign up free, before the gym even opened ( for a flat $10 a month!) , as well as my brother, evy, evy's mom, Bridget, steve, and bridget's mom. Huge domino affect right there! Having work out partners really is the key to success, because you hold each other accountable. "hey you wanna try body pump with me tonight?" even though I would never body pump, bump or dump alone if I don't have a better reason not to the answer is always an enthusiastic "yes." I get to see and chat and notch with my best friends while I'm running on the eliptical. And after your work out, it's Kinda hard, like really hard to want to eat any junk food. In fact I have given up "fast food", which is kinda difficult to do when you have like 3 jobs and a car and are never home but it's like you don't even crave crappy fatty stuff when you're stressed anymore. Another thing is having so much stress for me personally can sometime work up my anxiety, and restless energy. If I'm feeling restless I make myself go to the gym now and I feel a renewed refreshed energy, a much better kind. So yea, definitely some really good things. And as always, so so !!! Proud and INSPIRED by you, way to go bein the youest of you and stuff! Love! <em>Sararr- yes! yes, all the way. I probably wouldn't have as much motivation to go in to these crazy classes if it weren't for my friends. That is AWESOME that all of you have joined! And for $10/month?! That's amazing! Where is this gym? And I agree about how it affects other aspects--I've definitely been eating healthier and smoking less--I'm going to have to quit very soon because it is pretty counterintuitive to be doing all this great cardio then subsequently cloud up my lungs. Also, I've done my research--it's scientifically proven that being physically active positively affects your mental well-being and can help with anxiety and depression--it's certainly worked for me.
