When my first husband left me abruptly in May of 1999, I was overweight and out of shape. I started working out twice a day to relieve my rage and it really helped to alleviate the anger! I did lose all of the weight, mostly from diet, but it helped tone me up immensely and got me into the habit of working out every day. I am in better shape in my 40's than I was in my 20's. I think it also helped my mental health tremendously because I was able to cope. Has anyone else tried exercise to alleviate the pressure and tension?

always works for me! <P>when my first wife's mommy came to take her home (she was 17 i was 18 i married her because she had supposedly been raped and was pregnant) i wieghed in at a whopping 132 lbs at 5'10". <P>3 years later when i came home i was 230lbs had won several local bodybuilding competitions was ranked by a national bodybuilding commision and had actually tried out for the all army powerlifting team!<P>anyway i let my current wife keep me out of the gym for over 10 years it supposedly robbed the "Family of Time" but in the past 2 years ive been back at it, just woke back up after a year lay-off guilt from the A and the same "Family time" arguement. <P>ive always found that being in the gym always centers me. <P>seeing the results of the training just energizes me, gives me life where sometimes none seems to exist.<P><BR>
