Well, weird as it may sound, I was a tad depressed after I lost all the weight. Well, more confused as to, what do I do now, kind of thing. I mean, all I thought about and worked towards for almost 2 years, was losing weight. I'm fine now...keep busy with things I couldn't do when I was too heavy.
I don't like the way men act towards me now. They are more flirty and I don't care for it. I got lots of attention being as heavy as I was (hollars, mean comments, mooing) now it's a different kind of attention, and I'm still trying to get used to it. Woman my age are not as nice to me anymore, but younger woman are nicer now...weird. It's like I'm still the same person and treat people the same, but they all treat me differently...weird. It's just a lot of change! Lots of emotional ups and downs I didn't expect. Thankfully, I haven't gone back to my old ways of eating junk when I'm stressed. I've stayed between 125-130 for over 3 years now. It helps that I have a husband I can vent to, and I follow the struggles and success of others here and that helps, too.
The biggest pro that outweighs everything...I'm healthy and I finally realized I'm worth it.
