I find I battle depression along with my weight problems. I now weigh over 400 lbs and when I meet someone who I have not seen in years they usually do not recognize me. Better yet if someone sees a picture of me from before I gained the weight it is distributing when they tell me how beautiful I use to be. I am still the same person but people do not seem to be able to see past my size.
Welcome to supportgroups. That sounds like it must be hard to manage. Feel free to also post this in the depression group to reach support from them too.
Thank you
