Topic: Weight Loss

My name is Dennis. I am in the ohio army national guard. since obama has been in office he has cut our military funding. and since returning from traing i have gained a lot of weight. my sgt told me that if i do not lose weight that the army will discharge me because we need to lose troops. now before you think that i am lazy allow me to explain why i let this happen. when i returned from my training i kept working out and stayed in shape. but this past november/december i lost two close people in my life to suicide. this caused me to go in a downward spiral. my anger level raised really high to where i was literally tearing my family apart. then i was sent to a psychiatric hospital for attempting suicide. on top of all this, i was out of a job. no work means no income. i had bills and i couldnt find a job anywhere. i kept sinking into a deeper depression. i put my family on the edge of collapse. but now things are turning better. i love the military and couldn't see myself anywhere but in it. so if you could please help me. i would greatly appreciate it.

thank you.

Dennis.
