What has to happen psychologically, do you think, before you stop feeling sorry for yourself?

I’m currently feeling incredibly sorry for myself because I’ve put on loads of weight and I feel bad about it. And I feel angry that I’m here again. I had a post-Christmas plan which didn’t work (I just binged and put weight on in the last week than I did over Xmas). And now anything I try is just hitting the self-destruct button. I believe this is because I’m feeling sorry for myself.

I know I want to feel better but I just can’t seem to do it…. It doesn’t help that everyone is dieting at the moment…and I hate running with the crowd. I had a lovely suggestion from a fellow Fluther, which is where I want to be at, but I feel I have too many psychological issues in the way at the moment. It’s like I’m punishing myself.

So…what has to happen before I can kick this ‘feeling sorry for my own ass’ into touch….
