Why am I still so angry all the time??

I know this is a deep issue so I will try to keep it as simple as possible. For those of us that have been overweight for most of our lives, I think you can relate. I have always had to deal with my anger. Being an overweight child, dealing with ridicule, being viewed as a bully. I blamed all of this on my weight. I always assumed it was because of my weight. I always thought it was because I was miserable on the inside because of my outside. Now that the weight is gone why am I still like this?? Anti-Depressants don't help. I've been through counseling and they to blamed it on my weight. I guess I just assumed it would go away. It's like sometimes I hate everyone and everything! Ridiculous as that sounds it's the truth. When I get attention from the opposite sex I get angry because I keep thinking a year ago you wouldn't give me the time of day so why should it be any different?? I know these are and can be dangerous thoughts and I need to deal with them. I am 9 months post op and at my goal so the last thing I want to do is screw it up. I've always been an emptional eater and don't want to go back to that cycle. As I am able to increase what I can eat I find myself making not so great choices. Am I depressed or am I angry? What the heck do I have to be angry about? It's like this uncrontrollable thing that just happens. The physical changes we go through I guess don't always eleminate the emotional ones. Hope this doesn't sound to weird or anything just want to know if anyone else has had to deal with this and what to do about it!
