I am also starting over too. I fell off my plan for about 3 months and regained 40 lbs. My metabolism is messed up both from early on yoyo dieting and until I was in my 40's an undiagnosed problem with my thyroid (hypothyroidism), but I *still- even with the regain, have lost a total of 220lbs! So I want to get back to…

How I am feeling more and more depressed that I lost 259 lbs originally and now am creeping back up the scale. IN the last year, gaining 30lbs and feeling like I've failed my doctor, my partner and myself. I came so far - then menopause hit, depression got worse, found out some other metabolic issues are at play including…

Thank you. Some days, strangely enough- I feel as if I am still that big girl who used to have to use a walker and carry my own chair to doctor's appointments. It was so hard and it is hard to see myself in the proper perspective. But I try to accept compliments and honestly, my body feels so much better. I can actually…

I have this exact problem. And it's because self image is inside, not outside. I am in therapy and often speak about my weight loss (258lbs so far LOST) and I still try ordering clothing in the size I had been before. Because to me, I am still the same. Since I haven't had any skin removal surgery (I still need to lose…

My scale and I seem to be in a tug of war- I will lose 8 lbs and gain 6 back. I am not sure what is causing it. But I know my mind is feeling discouraged and I feel like I am letting everyone down (Even though I've lost over 250lbs since I started my journey 4.5 yrs ago). I came here to read some of the things that keep…

Thanks for your reply. I just wanted to address a couple of things that you said that really touched my heart... First- day after therapy blues is real. It's hard facing, confronting and learning to accept and deal with past traumas and how they can affect us today. It's been that way every time I go to therapy. I kind of…

Great Job. I see that it took a lot of courage to post what you have. I too, am a trauma survivor. I don't like getting into the *nitty gritty* of what happened, but let me tell you that it was trauma upon trauma from age 4years until 9years old when my mom took her own life and it was not my mom causing the trauma either.…

I started out on my life style change 4.5 years ago. Originally, I weighed 555lbs. It hurt to move, it hurt to lay down, it hurt to sit. There just were no comfortable positions. I applaud your success! You losing 25lbs is excellent. I *know* how hard it is. I still struggle sometimes because I am a control freak now about…

...When I fell down at an optician's office and couldn't get up off the floor. They had to close the office, call EMS and they stood me up. I sat down to get my bearings before leaving the office, but because of my feeling mortified that I had gotten this bad, I hurried out... and- Fell again this time on the pavement and…
