Tracy, Glad to hear you are feeling better, I think getting depressed on this journey is a norm. I have been there a few times specially when you do everything right but that darn pointer doesn't even move.LOL or if it does it goes the wrong way. and also those awful plateaus. I can't stand them LOL anyhow glad to hear you are feeling better. Hang in there girlie and try to take one day at a time. Don't focus on others, focus on yourself. I see some people loss fast and then theres people who loss slow. Long as you loss. that's the key. I am now at the loss of 100 lbs Had wls 12/6/02. how I got there was a hit and a miss and I still don't know how it happen. I have along ways still to go. I will just keep doing what I know. LOL I do try to follow the three rules, Protein, water, exercise. Check out my profile, Oh well you hang in there and stay focused. take care,~*~Hugs~*~
