"The past 7 years of my life have been extremely inactive. Sleep, work, game on my PC until sleep. Eating garbage fast food and living off energy drinks. A change had to be made."

#PokemonGO: So I've played PoGo before but I quit after about a month. Recently picked it up again about 4 weeks ago. So much more now. Buddies and missions to complete for decent items. Anyway, I've been living a very self destructive lifestyle for close to the last decade. Depression is a bitch. Regardless, something clicked in me that I had to make a change. Signed up for a gym pass and started going for walks twice a day. Before and after work.Given my new found mobility I decided to get back into PoGo. Been having a blast and meeting people. I live in a small town so I was taken back by how many players are out and about. A lot of them I never see because they never leave their car, but I've met a few in some raid groups. I know we all hear the "PoGo saved my life" stories but this is different. I needed to make a change and PoGo allows me to still play videogames while living a healthier lifestyle. I went from maybe 2000 steps a day to actually trying to break my records. All while enjoying a game and meeting people.Top 11%. Not bad for a man who sat and waited for death not even 3 months ago!It's never too late. Stop making excuses.
