I'm at my max weight ever...but I'm also to the point of being miserable so I hope this time will be the time I can stick to it! I usually take phentermine to lose weight. Since I'm on Zoloft, I can't take phentermine which means more work for me.

Hello,
Normally, is depression a continuation of a certain bad event that happened in your life? Does it continue especially if you over analyze or think things and you just kept it all to yourself? Depression is normal to appear, right?

USERNAME/REAL NAME: Mimasaka/Sarah
AGE: Almost 31
BIRTHDAY: 11/20/81
MARITAL STATUS: It's complicated!
SPOUSE’S NAME: N/A
CHILDREN/AGES: N/A
HOBBIES/INTERESTS: Movies, movies, movies... but also reading, writing, being with loved ones, walking, etc.
PETS: I adore animals but I don't have any of my own
TOP WEIGHT: Almost 280...? I was so ashamed of myself I don't even know the exact number
CURRENT WEIGHT: I haven't checked lately but it's 230-something
GOAL WEIGHT: I'd be really happy to get back down to at least 180. I was doing GREAT a couple of years ago but have been through a rough patch and gained weight again
HEIGHT: 5'2"
EYE COLOR: Blue
HAIR COLOR: "Brownish-blondish"
OCCUPATION: Nothing "objectionable" (haha) but I don't talk about it online
GEOGRAPHIC LOCATION: Walpole, MA... USA!
WHAT IS YOUR BIGGEST PROBLEM IN WEIGHT LOSS: I'll be eating healthy and exercising for a few weeks at a time... then sometimes spiral downward if I'm feeling particularly bad about myself/am stressed out
WHAT IS DIFFERENT THIS TIME THAT WILL MAKE YOU SUCCESSFUL: I've really come to recognize when I'm feeling vulnerable. Instead of feeding my bad feelings with food I've learned to do other things such as take a nice bath, walk, play with animals, talk to someone I love, etc. I also know that I don't have to COMPLETELY deprive myself of "treats." Everything in moderation
ANYTHING ELSE YOU WOULD LIKE PEOPLE TO KNOW ABOUT YOU?: I strive to be nice to others. I'm hard on my own self at times but I just want other people struggling with their issues to know that they are only human. We all make mistakes and that you should forgive yourself (and others) and be KIND to yourself! You are you regardless of how much you weigh
