I've had a few bouts of depression, especially when I went to my 3 month checkup and had only lost 4 pounds. Boy I really beat myself up that time. But I told myself what I needed to do, dusted myself off, put one foot in front of the other and told my self I can do this. Purely mind over matter. Remember you are in control. This is a big change for all of us and it will take some time to get to where we want to be. At my doctor appt this month I was down 19 pounds for a grand total of 80 pounds in 4 months.
