~~ I have more energy, I actually LIKE to exercise, I think more about what I'm putting into my body, there are foods that are gross to me now that I used to eat a lot of (ex: McDonald's).
2-Since losing have you thought about what added in your gaining weight?
~~ Well, I've known what the reasons behind my gaining weight were for a long time, so yes and no. Yes because I still think about it, and no because I've thought about it a lot before I even started losing.
3-Have you ever dealt with depression, if so what did you do?
~~ I've suffered from varying degrees of depression since I was a very young child. I haven't ever done anything about it, when I was youger and my depression was at its worst I didn't know what to do about it or who I could even talk to about it, I hid it from everyone. Now that I know what to do I've chosen not to do anything, right now I'd probably be classified with chronic low-grade depression. Sometimes I think about getting help, but I haven't mostly I'm nervous about using medication. I just don't want to deal with getting the right dose or side effects or being on meds my whole life, so I just deal with feeling bad the best I can.
4- Has your weight given you any health issues?
~~ Nothing really, just the usual physical things that come with being overweight like back pain, etc.
5- Have you ever been put down by friends,family or strangers for being overweight,if so how did you handle it?
~~ When I was a kid I was made fun of a lot by kids at school, and even occasionally my family. I just took it, usually I cried about it, I never fought back or anything. I havne't really dealt with that in a long time, well except for occasionally a kid asking me if I'm gonna have a baby or laughing at my big butt. And even though that still kinda hurts I just laugh it off.
6- What are most looking forward to doing when you reach goal?
~~ SHOPPING!!
7- Has a doctor ever told you that you need to lose weight?
~~ When I was a child I had a couple drs suggest I lose weight. Not as an adult though.
