    You are on your way - I found MFP by accident back in August 2010 and it has changed my life. I was so far down in that hole of depression and isolation I could not see the light. Stick with it you will be amazed how much better life can be. Add me if you want.

    Falling into black holes from time to time is a reality for most of us. The fact is how we choose to deal with those black holes determines our path in life. Reaching out for support so we can get out of the black hole is smart. Good for you for doing so.

    Feel free to friend me. I can cheerlead and remind you of why you signed up in the first place.

    You are the only person who contols your life...you can take it back. Put yourself first, it's hard with kids and husband, but try to carve out a little time to work on you. You will get stronger, feel better, and live better. Weight is usually not the problem, it's the result of other problems. Hang in there, you can do it!

    I feel so lost and depressed, i have no confidence find it hard to speak to people, my marriage is at breaking point , i must lose this weight and take back control .

    Here is what comes to mind as I am reading your post:
    I am glad you have found this site.. ergo you are no longer lost. Take heart.
    You are talking to us.. ergo you are gaining the confidence to speak to people, even complete strangers. Good for you.
    You are sharing your worry about your marriage... this often is the first point for making positive changes.
    You have arrived at a mfp, a site that will allow you to get support, be accountable, help you with tons of advice from so many kind strangers... ergo You are taking back control.
    In a nutshell. YOU are on the ROAD, Soon you will be a happy travelller..the soles of your shoes might wear out, your legs might be sore, you might break a sweat, but along the way you will discover a whole new you, that has been hiding, waiting to burst out. And when the road gets steep, we will be glad to push and cheer you on. LIfe is good.
