thanks roland. I experienced a similar realization, and that is when the binge eating stopped. I was not happy with myself 70 pounds ago. but I had to change my mindset first, the weight came off later. it was hard for me to be happy in an overweight body, because I did not spend my teens and twenties overweight.
now in my forties, I am more fit than I was even in my twenties. all of the hard work was worth it. and for me, losing weight was tough. I did it very gradually, because I hate feeling like I am on a diet.
I am struggling a bit with that now in the challenge. part of me wants to go full bore, restrict calories more and really lean out, but I hate that diet feeling.
