I need some good support from all you wonderful people. I was doing very well with this site last year and had lost 30 lbs. In December I had a few medical problems and fell into a deep depression and with all the medication I have gained 20 lbs back. I need to get back to being focus on me again now that I am back on track medically. I just need some encouragement right now. :cry:

    You can do it! I've had set backs too! I've was down to 220 before I got married 3 years ago, getting married, moving and a new job I gained 30 pounds!! I started this site and have really started to focus on taking care of myself and it's working. One day at a time. Don't foucus on the past keep your eye on the feature!

    I think you need to stop blaming yourself first. If it was your fault, than you can go ahead and feel like you failed. But you were taking medication which caused depression, and that basicly turns you into someone your not. Say it with me: Its not your/my fault!
    If your feeling like yourself again, get up, brush off, and start fresh! You can do it! :flowerforyou:
