Hi Sarah,

So in one sense you have learned more about yourself, and that’s crucial.

Sounds like you need to do solution 1.

Let me tell you that 5 years ago my normal life included eating a lot of bad carbs and not exercising. I was 285+ lbs.

Now, normal is no bad carbs and I’m in the gym almost every day.

My life is much better!

I am about 230 lbs. with a lot of muscle that was not there before. I look younger. I feel great. I do not eat junk when stressed. I have about 15 lbs. of fat to trade for more muscle.

I had to learn and practice different habits.

You might find a nutritionist to help you. Eat 6-8 times a day, good foods that I like. I do not have a scale – my nutritionist weighs me and gets a fat % weekly.

You also need to get your head right. Other forums here can help you.

This definitely balances out my energy level, mood, etc.

I encourage you to keep at it. My improvement started years ago and continues to evolve as my new normal.
