I need some motivation =(

Hey all... Been a few months since Ive been to this site. Its amazing to go look at the before and after section. Almost a year ago I decided that I needed to do something about my weight. I was 340lbs. I was doing really good for a while. I got to my lowest weight at 281lbs and then I guess I gave up. Most people would be happy to lose close to 60lbs. I didn't feel happy. I didn't feel like anyone cared about how well I did. Felt very alone. I still do =(. So anyways, I got depressed and started to put weight back on. Its been a while since I last weighed myself but I'm sure I'm back to about 310ish.. Ive told myself I wouldn't let me get back to 300+. Now here I am =(. I don't feel like I'm worthy of happiness. I don't know what to do... I guess I'm just asking for some advice

Hey poofy! I am in the same boat. I started at 380, and got down to 276.... then got married, and 8 months later I am back up to 310. But I am restarting my plan, and looking forward to getting back under 300 and then going even farther this time. Good luck!!!!!!

I sometimes feel the same way, but I always try to remember I am doing this for me. I want to walk without being out of breath, I want to wear a cute outfit without worrying that I look huge in it, I want to be a healthy mother when I start trying in a few years. In the end, it is all about YOU, you are the one that will reap the benefits of losing weight. I have come to realize that the only person I will be hurting by stopping my healthy way of life and losing weight is ultimately myself. My fiance does not care how big I am, my family does not care, and my friends are still my friends regardless of my size, but I am the person I need to contend with.

I suggest seeking some professional help to get the mental and emotional stuff taken care of, other wise the weight will just come back on, and you do not want that.
