Depression
You know it's weird, when I was heavy I never realized how freakin' huge I was, but now that I am losing weight I am so aware of my size. You would think with me losing 128 pounds I would feel better about myself, but I don't really. For a while there I was trying to blame my unhappiness on my marriage, but it's not Mike's fault at all, it's all mine. Something is seriously wrong with me. I want to lose all this weight but I won't get my fat butt off of the couch and do some exercise. I really need to though, and I know that, I just can't get motivated. I think that's why I have been so depressed lately. Next month I will be a year out. At a year out I thought I would be at my goal weight, but not so much. I am hoping to lose at least 50 more pounds but that's going to be the toughest 50 pounds to get off. I am going to have to exercise and eat right and that sucks! I think me getting skinner is causing me to get depressed. It's like when I was heavy people didn't expect anything from me and they all thought I was a total loser, now they expect more from me. In turn, I am starting to expect more from me. This is all so odd for me. I have never before in my life been depressed so it's a weird feeling for me and I am not quite sure how to shake it. I am hoping I can work through it, but if not I may need to see counseling. I am not super depressed like the people who think about killing themselves or anything, but I am a little down. sorry I had to get it off of my chest.

Christy, girl, I am so sorry to hear that you are feeling this way. I just wanted to let you know something... I am so proud for you that you have lost so much weight! I think back to when I was not so fat and I remember how much easier things were for me and I'd do almost anything to be back there... I am also envious of you that you have done it. And girl, you said you are in a 16 now, right? You do know that Marilyn Monroe (who is supposed to be one of the hottest, sexiest women of all time) wore a size 16, right? Just because you aren't as small as you thought you'd be, just because you aren't the 'ideal' size women, don't beat yourself up. You have come SO FAR. Don't do this to yourself. Feel good for what you have accomplished. There are many people who can't do what you've done. I applaud you. :)
