All these stories of quitting are inspiring-wish mine was. I quit twice, first time for 2.5 years. Gained 20 lbs the first time over 6 months, 25 lbs the second time over 2 months. I am high-strung, easily stressed and don't have the most patience in the world. My house smells, the walls are yellow and my sinuses are shot. (last xray-6 months ago was clear, though-go figure).
So why don't I quit? Because someone would die by my hand, my clothes wouldn't fit,and I'd get even more depressed than usual.
I admire everyone who had the fortitude to stick with it. It really is the hardest thing I ever attempted, and, while I succeeded for a short time, I know that somewhere inside me, there's the strength to do it again. Just not right now.
Good luck!
