    I have more confidence and am more out going. What I have noticed that me at the same weight going up was much different than me at that weight going down. I am actually slimmer inches wise because of the exercise but also because I know it is coming off eventually. Before I think I knew I was gaining. For me it has nothing to do with liking myself better. I liked myself. I just wasn't happy with where I was living or my situation in certain ways.

    I would say that I am changing. I've always been extremely shy and lacking in confidence but these last few months I've started to become a bit more outgoing.

    I'm still shy but I'm definitely not as quiet as I used to be.

    Yes I now feel like a totally different person inside & out because I am now a more confident, sociable & less sickly person that was a far cry from being a sickly, obese & rock bottom self-esteem person that I used to be. I'm starting to love my body more.

    I find I have more enthusiasm and vigour. I also find I am more chilled.

    Yes, in many ways I am a very different person than I was when I started this!

    When I started losing weight, I almost immediately wanted a better life than what I had. But I didn't know how to do, and didn't have the self-esteem to start, so I saw a cognitive therapist for a while, who really helped me with my depression and anxiety.

    I started setting goals for myself, real solid goals for my future, and that has changed my entire outlook on life.

    I quit smoking, lost 70 pounds, got back in school, and have plans to go on to law school and move to my dream city (NYC).

    So yeah... I'm a different person! But I've also realized that the person I was before wasn't a bad person, just a woman who didn't love and appreciate herself.

    Somehow, my boyfriend has stuck with me (and I with him!) throughout this entire ordeal. He has been the constant, supporting every decision I make and loving me the same, big or small, smoker or non-smoker, hating life and loving life.
