That's hilarious about the photoshopping. I have gotten then same kind of comments :) You have done an amazing thing for yourself and your health, and I hope whatever therapy/etc they set in place for you helps you continue to succeed. I know myself that ignoring underlying mental reasons for weight GAIN is a recipe for trouble.

Lemme tell you, I hope I'm as successful as you have been in your journey! It's eerily similar- I have Bipolar I Disorder, my father has been diagnosed with Chronic Leukemia (not the most aggressive form of cancer but he's 82, a hangnail is aggressive at this point...) and I have been emotionally eating for about 4-5 years now, feeling like a complete waste of space. Exercise had become foreign to me. When I was in my late teens and early 20's, I was confident, fit and thought I would rule the world. Now, I feel as if I just turned around and swallowed a fat person. It was just YESTERDAY that I "woke up". I don't know if it's just a manic phase or what, but I am running with it. I have about 70 lbs to lose and just started walking 2 miles/day and eating to live, NOT living to eat... and I know ALL ABOUT hiding out to stuff food down your throat! I just HAD to write to you to let you know how happy I was to find your article today. It really has given me to drive to stick to my decision. I look forward to more blog posts from you! :) Congratulations!Maureenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10919466755317945179noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5768018909052815191.post-68749375363667893882012-01-18T07:20:39.694-08:002012-01-18T07:20:39.694-08:00Good job.

What a truly inspirational story! I too suffer from Bipolar Disorder among the long list of things, and let it run my life while letting my weight reach an all time high. I am a food writer and have my own food blog where I recently began documenting my journey to a healthier lifestyle. Eating right and exercising has made my moods much lighter and more predictable. Congratulations on all of your success! I wish you the best and thank you for sharing your story. Don't listen to the asshole comments from HuffPo users, many of them are cowards and take the time out of their day to insult others. Congrats again!

Several years ago I had the opposite problem. I decided I needed to lose weight (as most women do). So, I embarked on a work out schedule and cut back on my eating. Well, for some reason the lbs. fell off and I went down to 89 lbs. I am 5 ft. Everyone either told me I was TOO THIN or thought I was sick. So, I quit exercising and ate whatever I wanted and have gained back 30 lbs and now can't get a pound off!!!!! I AM 64 years old but am determined to lose about 10 to 15 lbs and feel more comfortable.

About 3 years ago I lost 83 lbs. I was so proud of myself and the weird thing was that many of the people around me, I'm sure noticed my weight loss but never breathed a word of praise. You really need to hear something and you really need support like a routing for ya team. I'd like to share my email addy with you. Wisteriaandivy@yahoo.com.

I hope to one day be a success story too. <br /><br />My weight loss journey began a few months after my breast cancer treatment finished, when I reached my own personal bottom after looking a pictures from a vacation with friends. It was at that point that I realized I had lost who I was in the sadness from my diagnosis and what affect that had on my life. It's been a struggle, but I'm down about 35lbs. It hasn't been a yo-yo, but I haven't been consistent either. <br /><br />Now, my journey to healthy living has been given more of a push. I am motivated to keep going from your story. Thank you! Time to give my journey the same level of commitment you have given yours.<br /><br />I can't wait to see where the journey takes you.<br /><br />Lisa<br />http://lisarounds.blogspot.com/Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16282071511462499913noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5768018909052815191.post-78165245424588121522012-01-18T05:03:29.531-08:002012-01-18T05:03:29.531-08:00Great Job dude keep up the great work.
