[quote=Anonymous]I just went from 235 to 150 in a year. Being thin and fit, I realize how much energy I had to dedicate to being fat. How it was in my head every time I met someone new or went somewhere. How every slight in the world, I wondered about whether it had to do with my weight. I put energy into feeling physically terrible—exhausted, chronically dehydrated, unable to do much that required activity. I put energy into longing to be someone who could leave the house and say “let’s go hiking/skiing/running.” It was literally part of almost everything I did. So, even though my stats at the doctor seemed okay, I was not okay. I was not living a full life.

I chose a weight goal that I felt was my “happy weight”, meaning I could maintain it and live a full life. I changed my diet drastically. Maintenance is easier than dieting, and I feel so much happier to not think about my weight all the time. To be fit, so I can be with my family and do things without thinking. It’s worth it.
