This weeks Sketch challenge with the twist of distressing. I tried a new technique shared by one of the group members of using tea bags and coffee. I used both. I also crumpled the paper and tore some of it. I filed down the frame around the picture.

My girlfriend and I started "Incentive" books for ourselves. This was me 10 years ago (2001). I was in a fairly deep clinical depression that started from post par-tum depression 5 years earlier. I was over 300lbs. I lost about 75-80lbs and have maintained the loss and now I'm working at losing another 50lbs. Plus now, whenever I feel I might be getting depressed, I tell someone right away. I never want to be in that state of mind ever again! My gf encouraged me to scrap this picture and it took two months to build up the courage. The picture itself is distressed as I had crumpled it up and was going to throw it away but kept it all these years hidden away.
