Default Cant face the Scales

I am to scared to weigh myself at the moment as I only lost 2lb in Jan and I havent weighted my self since around the 21 jan. my husband said i am looking skinny and pale, im not i am still in a dress size 14 (uk) its like all the hard work i have done is just for people to moan that I look ill.
I am having a hard time trying to control my mood today to be honest its been getting bad for the last few weeks I feel like I am walking a line with everything crashing around me but I am not getting hurt but i know its only a matter of time before i crash with them or I am going to get very hurt. Its scaring the crap put of me as i know whats waiting for me in the next few weeks and I cant handle it I am not on any meds at the moment for depression as I dont like the feeling but I do take Diazepam to sleep and now the docs are saying i have an addiction to them but its them that prescribe them and have done for the last year, i am not happy about it as now i have to go though withdrawal to come off them and I am not ready for that just yet and the thought of not sleeping is worse then knowing i am a Diazepam junkie. My heads all over the place.
I not feeling good tonight just want to cry

Aww sorry to hear you are not feeling very well im not on an AD either and my sleeping is terrible but they wont give me diazepam as they properly know id get addicted to them. But i know how you feel i hate taking AD and im trying my best not to go on them. Do not be scared of weight you will properly see that you have lost and not put on you need to sort your head out before you think about committing to dieting have you tried any exercise as that helps with mental health it does with me anyway. Hope you feel better soon xxx

I have been walking more and just being more active, iv hurt me knee in the last couple of days so I am putting of the "fat camp" i was supposed to join next week till early march. I like exercising just need to find the time to do some more. waiting for my husband to bring my bike back for his garage so i can go out riding again.
i think i am just having a totally bad day just wish I could switch off all the thoughts.
Not sleeping is awful have you tried herbel sleeping pills? I also do relaxation meditation its good, doesnt make me sleep but helps on the bad days when even diazapam doesnt work.
I am gonna try and weigh myself tomorrow but I will see how i feel in the morning.

Thanks honey Im hoping i have lost, it always makes me happier when the scales go down.
Im in the west london/surrey borders.
Definitely try the relaxation I do simple ones, I lay there and imagine all the stress coming out of my body from my toes to the top of my head, it sounds airy fairy but it takes my mind of what is worrying me for a while. xx
