New with 137lbs to loose

Hello everyone, I decided to give this MFP a try, hoping that I will get the motivation, support and accountability to succeed in loosing this other adult I swallowed(I feel like I'm carrying another adult person in me). I was always slim and never had to worry about my physical appearance. Over the past 3to 4 years I became depressed and gained over 140lbs. Last year was the apex of it all because I hardly got out of bed. I finally woke up from bed this year and could not recognize who I had become. I could not reconcile what I was seeing in the mirror with who I was before. I've been going through all sorts of emotions; fear, anxiety, shame and just overall disgust at myself. Oh and did I forget to mention the slue of medical issues popping up here and there. On a positive note I started doing something about my problem. I'm not going to lie it's hard. Everyday I feel overwhelmed and I have to give myself a pep talk, to hang in there. My vice is chocolate cake. In some ways I blame Aldi for selling their chocolate cake for $3. I've been known to eat 2 whole cakes in one day when I'm feeling down. It's been 58days since I had chocolate cake.... I know, I'm counting. When I started my weight loss journey on feb 1st the plan was to loose 100lbs by year end. So far I have lost 10 but that happened in the first 2 weeks. For the past 4 weeks the scale has not moved, hence I am beginning to wonder if my goal of loosing 100lbs by year end is too optimistic. I can tell by my clothes I am shrinking but for some reason the scale refuses to budge isn't this too early for a plateau, I mean I just started. It's times like this, I need all the support I can get. I've been trying my best to eat healthy and be more active. I'm on a 1400 calorie diet and I drink at least a gallon of water everyday so would this scale move already... . Well I think I have done enough rambling for one night.. So if anyone would like to add me I would greatly appreciate it. I am in dire need of friends to encourage and motivate me. At this point I need all the help I can get. Thank you for reading this.
