I have felt the same way!! Lets be friends! 

i know how you feel ....me too.its like being Cinderella, then all of a sudden its midnight ...you look down and your a pumpkin and it feels like all the fun is gone. we have to believe we CAN change ...i so can relate.  

I'm recently separated, I think a lot of it had to do with being depressed with my marriage. Now I hope to shed not only bad memories...but pounds too!! LOL  

i've bee there too...3 times. LOL. it gets better! during my first divorce i learned that you cannot be depressed if you are doing something good for yourself like exercising or taking a bath. I care!! I used to weigh 130-150. I ballooned to 220 when i hit menopause (and other stuff).  

so awesome to have new friends that can understand :) 

been there. I am 31, 1.71m tall. And I got to weight 125.7kg (277lb). I was in shock when I hit the scale. I always tried to escape from it. I didn't want to weight myself. The only times I did, was because I had to at the doctor's office. But then I decided to change. I stepped on the scale, and... OH, GOD... 125.7 kilos! I questioned myself just like you did "how did I ended up like this? Why did I LET MYSELF get here?" But we can change. It is not easy. You will give up many times, take them as "breaks", but NEVER, please, NEVER give up on the challenge for good. 

wow you all are so inspirational too. I worked out all week, and have been doing a shake in the AM...eating about 1 or 2 meals a day that are way healthier than i used to...and no movement on the scale. That sucks..when you feel like you have been putting in the effort...ARGH. but ...i do feel like i have a bit more energy...
