Hi everyone!
Wow, am I glad that I found this place! I have read through some of the posts and know that this is the place for me. I have been struggling with weight my whole life and got diagnosed with depression a few years ago. Well, I joined Weight Watchers (for the millionth time) in January 2008 and lost 35lbs. I stopped going to meetings around the holidays and by January, I was up about 10lbs. And now I have gained back almost all I lost (I have gained 13lbs since June alone!) and I hate myself for it! A year ago, I was feeling so good about myself and now I don't want to do anything but stay home and be a fat, ugly slob. Oh and did I mention that I am on Wellburtin XL? Yep. And it worked for the first 6 months I was on it and now I am thisclose to where I was before I started it. I started back to WW a month ago, lost 2lbs the first week and was excited. But now I am UP 2.5 lbs higher from what I was when I started back! And I know that it's partially the depression. I just keep thinking of how skinny I felt a year ago and now and that makes it 10000 time worse. I am embarrassed to even go to work every day now because I have failed. I am hoping that by sticking around here, it will help me knowing that others are struggling as much -and even more-as I am.
