I was a lazy kid and chunky most of mi life. Sure I would diet here and there, but wound up going back to my bad habits in eating and drinking. Ballooned up to 180 one year at my heaviest. This year I decided I was sick of feeling / being fat and I was going to control my life.

Not only does working out relieve stress, but it makes you feel like you've accomplished something. Extra bonus is that it's also making you healthier. I love getting the praises and compliments for friends and family when they see me. A lot of them cant believe it. Proud of myself, just like all of you should be too. Takes a lot, but also pays a lot.
