It does get easier, early, and even two years on I still enjoy the calmness of No-S, how I don't need to think about it but enjoy it when I do. It's an area of my life that isn't out of control in either direction, and I've learned to direct any excess energy/stress/anxiety/boredom into more productive areas - art and writing and work.
For those who like numbers, I haven't weighed myself for a couple of months, but I think I am about 84kg (185 pounds), down from 111kg (244.2 pounds), which gives me a BMI of 26.5 instead of 35. I'm definitely a size 14 (at the shops I shop at: Portmans, Suzanne etc - sizes aren't standardised in Aus) instead of 20/22 and I've also lost a shoe size, somewhere

So I've lost the equivalent of luggage for an international flight, and am probably less strong since I frankly wouldn't be able to carry a suitcase and onboard luggage around 24/7 now

I would also like to share that a drizzle of honey and a splash of Margaret River Cabernet Shiraz Red Wine Vinegar make a marvelous dressing for roast vegetables.
