Well. that's a heck of a lot more than *I* accomplished by age 18!!!!! Good golly, gal!!! And now you're a mom and a wife!! I ain't done none of that either, and I'm old enough to be your momma!!
How could you possible be a failure? If you are, then what does that make me? Hmmmmm?
I am not a failure and neither are YOU. You are here, which means you are still trying. Failures are people who have stopped trying and have absolutely NO intention of EVER trying again.
All the others have given you great advice. Just take it easy and slow. Hang out with us. Dance for a few minutes every day with your babies, or with your husband.
They'll both love it, and then you'll have created some happy family memories.
One other thing: Have you talked to a professional about your depression? When was the last time you had a full and complete physical? Do you need to have your thyroid checked? Your physician, if you have one, will be happy to help you try to lose weight. Let her/him help you. Let your husband and your friends and your neighbors and your family and anyone else who wants to help you help you. Because it's hard are **** to lose weight. It is. You *can* do it. You've done hard before and succeeded. (Remember gving birth? gack.) You can do this, too.
Let us know how it goes, 'k?
