I grew up fatter than a foie gras goose and then, after a moment in apogee, dropped eight and a half stone and mostly kept it off. The trouble with transforming the exterior, though, is that like caverns measureless to man eroded by millennia of the subterranean flow of youthful experience, the interior has already been carved out. The disconnection between the exterior world's reaction to one's own exterior and one's interior reciprocation from within a body that is no longer familiar makes for a more frustrating experience, as one has never developed the instinctual tools to respond naturally. I guess in answer to the questions, in short, never and never.
