I'm sorry to hear it Roy. Yes, it's perfectly normal. Food was a coping mechanism that you don't have anymore. Many others on our site have experienced depression in the early stages.

My best advice is to keep reminding yourself why you did this and that there are so many positive things to come. And there's absolutely no shame in seeking help from a phychologist or attending support groups such as Overeaters Anonymous: Newcomers - Overeaters Anonymous

I hope you feel better soon!

I felt like that as you all know because I posted it. I just try to keep myself busy. I've been cutting out sewing patterns. What is something you real enjoy doing? Today is Texas A&M vs. Clemson football game!

I like to read. But sometimes talking aboutit is better

True it helped me by posting my feelings and then everyone responded by telling me their struggles in the beginning. That was truly helpful to me.
