Somebody asked me last week if I had been sick. And it was the best compliment. Why?

Because I've lost + or - 50 pounds this year. At 209 I physically feel better, and I look better.

But if I'm being honest - I'm happier when I'm overweight. I was lean and mean in my teens and 20's - but I was a moody SOB.

As the weight comes off - I can feel that old feeling creeping back in.
