Relationship - Single then & now....lol (Had a couple slight friends\ relationships in between)
Income \ work - Better now hit hard times for a little while back then, but doing fairly well at present.
Weight - Actually less
Bad habits - Better never was a big drinker, but I'm good for two beers.

I'm still single.... Wait a minute.... That might be a good thing....

pretty much the same all the way down. Altho I have cut back a little on my sugar intake (bad habit)..

Relationship: Single just as I am now but I had a couple of occasional "really close friends". Geeze I miss those guys. =(
Income \ work: I was making $12 more an hour than I am now.
Weight: OMG I don't wanna think about it I have gained so much weight.
Bad habits: I've never had any really bad habits.

Then:

Five years ago I was with my wife which at the time I loved more than anything along with my son.

I had just joined the Army so I wasn't making much, but we had everything worked out and was living nicely.

I weighed probably about 160ish then..

No bad habits really, I had quit smoking for my wife and son.


Now:

I'm alone and divorced. My son is living with my ex-wife and her new boyfriend.

My work is the same but more money, and soon that will probably double or triple when I get out in a few months.

I've gained weight and I'm not in the shape I would like to be in.

I'm back to smoking and drinking more often.


The Army is not good for a family. Some people manage to make it work, but a lot more fail at it than succeed. Welcome to life.

Only thing different is then I was living with B/F and now I'm single.

Relationship: Separated then. Divorced now.

Income/Work: Average/struggling then. Decent/turning work down now.

Weight: Average then. Few extra pounds, but manageable now.

Bad habits: Lots then. Lots now.
