OP - At first it was depression fueling the weight loss. Now it is my choice to keep it up as I needed to lose weight. I feel so much better and look better too. One thing I have realized was that I used food for comfort in dealing with H's depression and anger while he was here. One thing I am sure of is that it is not for H. He married me when I was heavier than I am now, and weight never seemed to be much of a issue for him. At least not that he ever said.
