Anyone else losing and feeling depressed?

  • This may seem odd to some but now that I am losing weight I am actually feeling really bad about myself. I have been following a low carb lifestyle for about 2 months. I have lost about 20 pounds so far. Now don't get me wrong, I am very happy about this loss. But, I am soo angry at myself for letting myself go so bad. I still have about 30 pounds to lose and all I can think about is how I am still so big and fat and I am disgusted that I got so lazy. Does anyone else have these feelings?

    YES! I know how you feel, but please don't let those feelings sabotage your efforts, so many times I have lost weight and right dab smack in the middle I'll feel like you described and I'll start punishing myself again by stuffing my face.

    Your not alone, I was told to focus on the positives in life, as soon as a bad thought enters your head to think about what good is going on, or how you felt when you were thin and how good that was. Its a hard thing to do but we gotta try.

    Hugs to you !!!!!
  • Bethany -- Hind sight is 20/20.... We could spend the rest of our lives saying: "We shoulda, we coulda but we didn't!!" Don't think of what you did yesterday, last week or last year that was bad that got you into this situation, whether it be overweight or whatever... What's important in my view is what you are doing today and tomorrow to make yourself better for the future... So forget about the past and think of the now, how great you feel about your weight loss and the future about how even much better you will feel...
