So I just went right back to I'm just going to start with like literally lifting my legs in bed.
And now I've got nothing wrong with me.

And through all those years of lifting, even when I was a little too chunky, like after my son passed away, I gained a lot of weight.
I could not care about myself for a couple of years.

It did more for me mentally than therapy or anything else other than prayer.
I would say prayer would be the number one thing, gym a close second.
It was a really great way to battle out all of the really strong, crazy emotions that I had.
