Hi,
Im new to this forum and this is my first time replying. I have read these posts and just wanted to try to encourage someone. I can really relate to what everyone here is going through. My highest weight ever was 180 lbs. I am only 4' 11" so that was a rather large size for my height. I lost down to 125 and then got into depression and gained back up to 140, I am now back down to 120 with low carb and exercise. So dont ever give up hope, you can do it! I have been off antidepressants for about 3 yrs now and am getting my eating under control, I was a mess there for awhile. I dont know, maybe Im just rambling, cant express myself very well. but hope it is encouragement to someone.

I have written here before and mentioned how much I hate being fat.. but now, honestly I am ok with it. Yeh its nice to lose weight or whatever.. but you have to learn to love yourself, and I think I am beginning to. At one point I would look into the mirror and feet like crap, but now I look into the mirror and I feel beautiful and its mainly due to the change in my thinking. My advice is don't ever let something like being fat get you down, and stop you from doing anything. Have no regrets. Cheers!
