Needing some motivation

Hi. My name is Kimberly. The last few years I have allowed myself to fall into a hole of depression. My weight ballooned! Each time I tried to dig myself out of the hole I just kept falling further. Fast forward to about a year and a half ago I found my husband of 16 years had been having an affair. Instead of him being apologetic I was informed how I pushed him to cheat. I wasn’t fun. I was boring. I was FAT!
As you can imagine this caused my hole of darkened to get deeper and darker! I started working on myself to make him happier. I started getting help for the depression so I would be happier for him. The depression medication just caused the weight to keep piling up and the fact that I just felt like I was t worth all the effort. My husband wasn’t seeing my efforts as enough to make me good enough for him.
After four attempts I finally decide that it’s time to prove them all wrong. I am worth it! The thing is I know this wanting to prove people wrong will only work for so long.
I need to meet some new people who are inspirational and positive. I am one who most are drawn to because I am the type of person to do everything for the happiness for others. I need to meet people who won’t take advantage of that. I want people around me who will call me out on my people pleasing behavior.
Are you one of those?

Hi Kim. Thanks for sharing. I’m sure that took a lot to express. Regardless of what someone made you feel. You are good enough, and you only need to make yourself happy. Don’t worry about someone else’s opinions.
This app is great. You may also want to get a personal trainer if you’re able. Man does that sky rocket your progress. Good luck on your journey and I’d love to hear how you progress.0
