I too have lost a lot of weight and have found how good I feel with my new body. I believe that therapy had helped me to release a lot of emotions and therefore I don't eat to not feel anymore. I also started exercising at the gym. I avoided them before because of being over weight and lack of motivation due to my depression. I have found that exercising also helps me to feel more in control of my life and a venue to let me energy out when I am struggling emotionally.

I have also begun to educate my self on what chemicals do to your body and how healthy eating affects my mental health in a good way. I have also learned to value myself and eating right and exercising is a way to care and love myself.

In losing my 85 lbs, I have accomplished it over the past three years. I would lose some and then try and maintain it, in which my weight would bounce around some. I then would get recommited to losing another 10 or 15 lbs. this has worked for me.

I commend you for making positive changes and to continue to exercise. I have come to learn it is a lifestyle choice to be healthy. Keep reminding yourself how much you have accomplished.
