i have been doing really good ive lost 30lbs in 8 weeks i eat what i am suppose to do, i even started working out. why do i feel so sad this always happen to me when im losing weight its like i set myself up for failure or something. i can be doing good and instantly at times i get this ugly feeling of i will not reach goal i will not lose weight, this isnt going to work. i felt really good yesterday. i had a normal morning ate breakfast, went to the store, came home cleaned out a cabinet, fixed my food for the day, and showered got dressed for work and thats where i am now. and i feel like crap i ate clean today and worked out so i should feel upbeat. PLEASE talk to me i need my fellow sleevers right now.

OMG, I went thru that and cried my eyes out! But I knew it was time to change. What can I say I am so happy now to be in a size 14 I was huge before and felt helpless. I had ti find other ways to deal with my life. About time!! It will happen!!!

Journaling has helped me... Whenever something is bothering me, I just start writing. Doesn't matter what I write and often times I shred it... It's just the process to get the thoughts out of my head that seems to help. I need to do it more often! Take care of yourself!

Hi there!

Did you know that the after effects of your anethesia can make you feel blue/depressed? You are trying to get over major surgery and are facing the unkinown. All these things can make you feel depressed. Even good stress is hard. If you can be more patient and gentle with yourself, it might help. You can only do the best that you can do day to day. I have clinical depression and lived with it for years now. I know that I have bad days and better days. I have very few "high" days. I just try to understand my moods and go with them (not indulge them) and make my way through the day. I am sure the mood will pass. Just remember, you have been and will be going through lots of change. I think reaching out to others, can never hurt you. I wish you the best and be well. Hang in there Sloopy!
