I remember not even being able to make it through one hour without getting stoned.

The good news is that I have not gained any weight back and that is because I am very strict about what I eat. I cook all my own meals and eat out only one night a week. I just need to find my motivation to exercise again. I felt so gosh darn great when I was doing that.

Congratulation Viv, you have a great willpower, and that is most admirable.
