Working out releases endorphins, your body&#039;s natural &quot;feel good&quot; compounds. After I broke my hip, I had to lose more than 50 pounds, not easy when one can&#039;t run and can only barely walk. But it was one of the best things I ever did. It seems like you have been doing that by losing all that weight. :thumb:</p><p><br /></p><p>A second key to mental health is re-programing the brain. Stop yourself from going down that &quot;negative pathway&quot; whenever you are thinking about things. :headbang:&nbsp;&nbsp; It is deceptively easy and comforting, but very BAD to rehash in one&#039;s mind all the betrayals, hurts, disappoinments, and bitterness we all experience. We all need to create a more positive attitude and a positive mental default response to events around us.</p><p><br /></p><p>Those embedded negative pathways are difficult to change, but they must be.</p><p><br /></p><p>Many times professional help is useful, too.</p><p><br /></p><p>Good luck. </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>guy[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
