I am so sorry to hear this. Dogs are family and it hurts so much when they leave us. I know when my dog died I went to the local shelter and volunteered to just be around dogs to keep me occupied. Find something that helps ease your mind and hopefully soon you can welcome a new fur baby into your life with welcome arms.
Well that's depressing

I’m so sorry for the troubles you’ve been having. I have been where you are. Last year I lost 35lbs but in January, February and March I gained it all back plus 10 more. My best friend had passed away and it was cold and dreary out. All I wanted to do was eat and eat and eat. The next thing I knew the only pants that fit were my stretchy yoga pants. The weight can come on fast when you are going through a rough time. You can do it though. :) If you are like me once you get back on track and start seeing some progress it get easier.

cont. - I get really depressed and discouraged when I think about how hard and how long I will be dieting to get rid of all the weight I put on since 2005, and feel overwhelmed and stuck sometimes, or wallow in hating myself for getting like this, but I try to keep myself from mentally going on that path and distract myself or focus on what I'm going to do today, or just this week.

Depression can be a serious illness that stops us from doing all sorts of things for ourselves. BUT there is hope. Don't try to do everything at once. Pick ONE thing you will do for yourself today. Maybe it's a water goal or an exercise goal. Post it then use that post to hold yourself accountable. Take care!

You can do this! That after pic is going to look and feel great!

I kind of did the same thing. I wore a top that really doesn't fit me but I wanted to be able to tell if I made progress at the end of this. If I wore my typically baggy tshirt it would be pointless. Good luck!
