I want to cry, WTF is the matter with me

I remember that feeling. I was the same age and weighed 202( my doctor office scale said 212) but I like to go with my home scale numbers. Anyway, I was so depressed because of my weight but yet kept on overeating. It was a vicious cycle. I hated the way I looked. I tried every quick fix and magic pill that there was. Nothing worked , until I realized that I had to put in the work necessary to lose the weight. Once I finally made the decision to do this the right way, I was fine. I started weighing and measuring my foods and started getting active. Now I weigh 135 lbs :-) you can do this too! All you need to start is a food scale :-) I'm much happier with myself now and am so glad I finally made the choice to get healthy.

Self loathing will get you nowhere. Own your current weight and work to change it if that's what you want to do!

I totally get where you are at. I am starting the road back to losing weight after a tremendous weight loss myself. I hit a number on the scale I SWORE I would never hit. I was over 300lbs, 321 to be exact. This after hitting 291 and getting scared that I *would* hit 300 nearly four years ago. I had to change my weight # on here and that was absolutely painful.

I started tracking, eating healthier, drinking more water, and I've already lost. It's not about the lost weight, though, it's about getting back to a healthier me. I'll be happy to friend you. You can do this - you're here!

Don't be mad at yourself! It is so common for people to lose then re gain, especially with big life changes too! I'm on my third attempt at losing and this time it is going to stick! I'm very sure of that!

Try look at things positively, congratulate yourself on turning things around now, you could have gone on for a lot longer denying things, but no you had the courage to buy some scales, recognise you weren't going in the direction you want to and have made the decision to make changes! I thought like this the two times I regained, I was annoyed I'd done it, but then I made myself think "if I'd not chosen to make changes now I would have been 10/20/30lbs heavier in a few months! So now I have the chance to prevent that happening and turn things around!"

You can do this feel free to add me, I'm happy to support you

Hi there,
I'm 21 and have ALWAYS struggled with my weight - it went from family abuse to own self hate to anxiety in public and really, really, really negatively influenced my life. A year ago I decided to finally give myself THAT kick and have been (fairly) steadily losing weight since. I'm 169cm/5ft6 and currently weigh 165 pounds. I know the feeling of stepping onto the scale and sending off a prayer into space only to feel the gut wrenching disappointment when the weight is more than expected, so I feel you only too well. That said, I know from experience that losing weight is not impossible - I've already lost 17kg (about 37 pounds) but would like to lose another 10-15kg to reach my goal weight. I suppose that's not a considerably huge amount, but the struggle is real nonetheless.
- But you yourself have lost lots of weight in the past, so you know it's do-able. I'll take (and give!) any losing and maintaining motivation!
Good luck!!!

The past is the past it can't be changed only learned from, you are now taking the first step into your future hopefully a healthier and fitter one and at least you are taking that step.

Feel free to add me.

Step 1: Get the emotions out (check )
Step 2: Forgive yourself; it happened and now it's time to figure out what you need to do from here.
Step 3: Rather than looking back and saying "How could I..?" it's time to say "How can I..." Step 4: Take one step forward. The you take another step. And you do that everyday--always looking forward, not back.

As everyone has said the worst is over, now you know. To have even got on the scales knowing that you may not get the reading you wanted was brave and shows you are strong. YOU'VE GOT THIS!

( The following statement is being said is in the nicest way possible)===="quit crying, quit feeling sorry for yourself, get off your *ss and GET TO WORK!!!!!!! NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!! GO!!!!!!!!!!!"

Hey, a lot of people are telling you to stop crying/feeling sorry for yourself and move on. Some people are motivated by the "shut up, get off your *kitten*" approach but I'm not. It wouldn't work like that for me. So, if you're like me, take *a bit* of time to absorb and think about your feelings in order to let them motivate you instead of tearing you down. If you're feeling down on yourself and don't address that self-hatred before you rededicate yourself to your goals you will have a harder time with the obstacles you'll need to overcome in the future.

This might sound too simple but don't beat yourself up for what you did. Be in the moment and make better choices from now on. Good luck. You've done it before you can do it again.

It's ok to cry, it's perfectly natural to be sad about the situation. After your cry, realize that you don't have to be this way forever if you don't want to. It's not going to be easy, it's not going to be quick, but you can do it! like they say, anything worth really having in life is worth working hard for! Just take it one day at a time, one step at a time if you have you. If you mess up, fess up and resolve to get right back to it!

Feel free to add me. I've been very active on here since the beginning of the year
