is feeling Horrible
Well my name's Kev and I'm a 25 year old guy from Portsmouth, England. I'm currently suffering from depression (caused by a few different issues, one being my weight). I've had a weight problems for the majority of my life which lead to me not having much self-confidence and I still suffer hugely with this today, again largely because of my weight. At my heaviest I weighed 18 stones and 6 pounds (261 pounds) however I lost 5 stones (70 pounds) about a year and a half ago, but I wasnt particularly proud of this as it was mainly due to my depression, and I lived on vitamins for about 6 months as I couldnt face eating. Luckily it didnt do me any harm and I guess I can look back and say maybe it was a tiny blessing that something good came out of my illness, but as I started to feel better it came back on and I'm now 16 stones 6 pounds (232 pounds). Where I want to be at is back down down at around 13 stone 5 pounds (around 190 pounds) as that was when I felt at my best body wise and is I feel a healthy weight for me. Thats why I'm here really, to hopefully speak to people who might be able to help me out with some advice to help me get back on the track to health and hopefully better confidence in myself. I know its not a magic cure for everything, but it would be a huge difference in my life.
Gym (when I can get motivated lol), football (soccer), tv, computers, movies, art/drawing, writing, nature and animals.

I find the will power by focusing on the moment. I ask "Which is the better choice here?" or "If I asked someone for advie on making this choice, what would they reply." I also have a thing where I try to picture the lights on the ceiling of the ER with me on my back looking up and asking myself "How did I get here?" I find if I want to avoid seeing those lights, I opt out for better choices becuase it is the many small things that will nickle and dime (excuse the US currency use) you to death. My father passed away from smoking related disease and I often wondered if he had pictured looking up at the ceiloing lights inan ER, would he have made the bad choice he did. I don't know--but I don't want to see those lights. Ministers have used the threat of hell for years to get us to embrace religion--I see that as my potnetial hell if I don't watch my Ps and Qs.

I've suffered from depression for a few years now, after suffering from weight issues, low self-esteem and the loss of family and friends. I feel I'm getting better but there are times I feel myself slipping and have my days. Just looking to speak to others about it and maybe help others out.
