Just needing some support and encouragement

THis is a hard post to write but I feel I need to get it out of me before it suffocates me. <br> <br> I'm lucky in the fact that my family and friends are very supportive but I don't think they understand how hard it can be to still loose weight even though I've had this major surgery [Open RNY]. Sometimes I feel like I will never get to the goal my surgeon has set nor will I ever be 'normal'. Yes, people tell me I've done a fantastic job to shed the 130+ pounds I have, but I still have more to go and sometimes I feel like it's never going to happen. Even worse, some days I convince myself that I am not worthy of being goal weight due to the bad things I have done in the past. <br> I am a manic depressive and I know that these thoughts are more than likely mood talking, but when I get like this, I find it hard to exercise and eat well and do all the things that would assist my weight loss. I do see a cousellor about these issues, but he's on holidays at the moment, due to it being Christmas time. I guess I just need a pat on the shoulder and a "you'll get there" from people who have been there <br> <br> Thank you all for listening. <br> Gremmi.
