So admittedly I am not quite there yet as I'd still like to lose another 25lbs or so, but I joined MFP in the end of March 2013 (on a different profile) and have lost 85lbs during that time. My story is long so I wont get into it all, but basically I've struggled with eating issues since the age of 13. It began as anorexia, then bulimia, and eventually as an adult binge eating. I still have off days, but I think I've finally developed a healthy relationship with food.

    I wish I could see the pics (work computer won't let me) but the summary of your story and the weightloss tell us that you have been through a lot and have overcome some VERY difficult obsticles physically but, most of all, emotionally. Having this healthy relationship with food is life changing. I am excited to finally get to where you are but, like you, I have a lot of hard work to accomplish within myself before I can get there. This is the definition of success. No "Almost" about it! I hope you give yourself enough credit because no one else could have done this for you. This was ALL YOU, girl and you deserve the happiness I hope you have achieved. Keep it up. You are worth it!

    Thanks to you all. Yes, I feel great. I just wish I hadn't let things get so bad.

    And if you couldn't tell, I was VERY reluctantly posing for the "Before" picture haha, I am glad I did though.
