Weight gain and loss

[mortensorchid]

I used to be 40 lbs fatter than I am now.  I gained the weight for a few reasons : I thought I could eat anything and everything I wanted and never gain weight, I was eating fast food all the time, I was frustrated with my professional life at rhe time.  And, I also realize now, I was going to loose the love of my life (long story I may have gotten into on this forum in the past) which I was in complete denial about.  Needless to say, he moved away, now been gone for almost 20 years, and I am still not over it truly.  But that's another story.

Have others gained weight for all the wrong reasons like I did?  And if so did you loose it?  I lost it by joining Weight Watchers.
