I’m feeling very low and depressed today I posted a long thread about why yesterday so I won’t go into it again. Basically I have been overweight for nearly 10 years (I’m 28now) when I was 18 I used to pretend it didn’t bother me because I had friends and even though I was sad inside I used to paint a smile on my face and go off to work. But honestly being fat has held me back my whole life I’ve never had a long term relationship, I never went on holiday with my friends because I was embarrassed to wear a bikini and now I don’t have ANY friends not one, I have clothes in my wardrobe that I bought when I was 20 but I’ve never worn them because they don’t fit anymore. I lost my job 18 months ago and have no confidence because I look awful in whatever clothes I wear to an interview, I never had many career goals because I assumed by now I would be married with kids but that hasn’t happened either. I’m 16 stone so need to lose 5/6 stone but I’m worried even if I do manage to lose the weight I will have loose skin as I now have stretch marks. I’m just always so sad I sit at home crying most of the day then end up comfort eating and getting fatter. Any advice?

Just start one day at a time don't make huge goals start small. Eat less.. move more ! It really works, we only get one chance at life and you are the only person in control of you and your happiness. Good luck x
