no more rose colored glasses

I'm depressed.
I think I'm really sick of my life.. the repetition the constant knowledge that as badly as i want to and as much as i try i cannot change a damn thing.
Nothings ever really going to change.
a diet becomes just as much of an obsession as anything and I'm... just so tired. so very tired.

i'm not sure what else if anything i will be able to handle anymore..

edit: this isn't even about weightloss... i'm really tired of everything. I workout and i love it but its not that. its not about weightloss. i know i'm not failing entirely on that but ... i'm just empty inside

look sweety, i know where ur coming from. everything feels hopeless and tiresome. and I know this is going to sound very clishé, but exercise really helped my mood swings. I swear by it. Go for a 30min quick walk and I SWEAR you will feel better! I used to ignore it, try to curve the blues by doing stuff that took my mind off it for a while like go drinking with friends, loose myself in movies (and lots of snacks!) and eat pretty much what i wanted, after I'd feel really bad about myself, and so i comforted myself by doing the same thing again. But once i started moving, slow and steady, I started feeling good. And about everything, not just the way I looked, I just got more positive. Give it a try! What have u got to loose?? I hope u feel better soon. x

14lb lost so far - well done!!

It's a slow road we're all traveling on here and things will change, just not overnight. As you've seen things have already changed for you

Take a day off dieting and see how you feel tomorrow about it all. No guilt, just a diet holiday - no logging calories or worrying about tracking your exercise.

Go for a nice long walk or bike ride and enjoy some fresh air. Eat some ice cream. Live to be happy today, and then tomorrow is another day

Take care of yourself xx

I hope this helps you. I suffer some of the same issues. I just feel like I literally drag myself through most days, working so so hard for so so little. BUT enough of that . I am forever amazed and I have been alive long enough to have collected some data concerning myself, I am forever amazed at how my 'mood' or attitude is affected by sleep and nutrition. One would think that knowing this I would be keenly aware of how I've been sleeping or the nutrient levels in the food I've been consuming. However, I am one of those people whose chemistry is so sensitive that small infractions make a huge difference and I can be low on nutrients or sleep for a couple of days and I feel like there is no energy left in my body nor clarity left in my brain.

Good luck with everything. Glad you've got such a wonderful husband.

Having suffered from depression for the last 10 years or so, I think if this feeling persists you should see a doctor. It took me a while to get a proper diagnosis, but I know it is related to hormonal issues now and can handle it accordingly. If your curious my condition is hypogonadtropic hypogonadism.
