ANY ADVICE MOST APPRECIATED!!!

Hi everyone, hope u r all ok.

I need some advice as I really don't want to get depressed any more and put on any more weight!
Yesterday on facebook I saw some pics that had been uploaded of me singing at an event(I'm a singer). Anyway I was so disgusted at what I saw and I'm not overreacting :cry:

Don't know if any of u have experienced this but I was going through a phase where I knew I had put on weight and it said so clearly on the scales but in my own head I had a picture of myself being a lot slimmer. I actually was so shocked at what I saw ... I had to actually come to terms that I am actually fat!
:cry:

well in a way it made me more determined to follow ww to the letter but then it scared me thinking I'm gonna have to stick to it and not fail and we all know we have ups and downs!

oh well... this morning I didn't even want to go out felt really ugly and fat. Really don't wanna sink into depression. Any advice??? xxxx

I've been there. I sunk into a depression as I felt so ugly and fat and I was so ashamed of myself. I couldn't go out socialising with friends because I didn't want people to see me like that. At the moment I don't have a social life as my friends don't invite me out anymore as I always turned them down.

Anyway, I gave myself an ultimatum. Either live my life like this and been miserable for the rest of my life or do something about it and lose this weight and get my life back. So at the moment I am focusing soley on myself with doing lots of exercise in my spare time. My work colleagues are amazing and very supportive.

So here I am more determined, more focused, more committed into doing this. I know it's going to be a long journey and there will be ups and downs, good days and bad days but I just have to hang in there and all the hard work and commitment will pay off for sure, I keep telling myself that.

Don't be scared of failing, if you have a really bad day, just get right back on track the next day. Or if you have a really bad week, just get back on track the next week. Soon you will be having more good days than bad days. Hang in there and you will be glad you did.

Massive hugs!! you can only do this for yourself.. so if you really want to lose weight you'll stick at it!! good luck x

To be honest, yuor stats say 155lbs, hardly enormous. it may be bigger than you are used to, but please don't get depressed about it. I was at Wicksteed PArk earlier in the year, in Summer clothes, feeling enormous! My boyfriend just laughed and said to me, 'look around yu for god's sake'. He was right. I was by far not the biggest, and the majority were my size, or thereabouts or even bigger. And I weight about158lbs at the mo! It is more than I want, but hardly big enough to lock myself away. Or that's what I keep telling myself!!!!
