I used to be very skinny as I was dealing with quite some problem during childhood. When I was about 16 I met my first boyfriend and became emotionally capable of absorbing all the nutrients, gained a lot of weight. Unfortunately I was also losing a lot soon after that boyfriend dumped me because I was "too fat".

I guess what I am trying to say is that I have learned to maintain a healthy diet without being controlled by my own emotions, and I have learned that I am doing it for myself. And when I set a goal knowing that it's very important that I have to achieve it, not only did I feel good about myself, also I just "feel good" because I am healthy. I am 5"4, I had been under 100 lbs, then up to 130, and now I am maintaining at 115. Feeling awesome!!! Guys, keep in mind, sometimes it's not only about the looks, it's about yourself and that your health is very important. So don't try to lose or gain crazily.
