Has your life changed since losing or gaining weight?

Weight loss has given me the ability to be competitive in the sport of running. I lost 30 pounds 5 years ago and have been running since that weight loss. I have qualified for the Boston marathon 4 times since and will be running Boston in 11 days. I never had the thought of running a marathon prior to my weight loss. I am more confident in every aspect of my life. So the short answer "lol" to your question is " yes it has".
