For a while my life seemed to be going in the right direction. While in college, I thought I knew what I wanted to do with my life and I felt confident and motivated to get what I needed to get done. I had lost 75lbs and I had never felt better in my life.
Now that I've graduated college, I've decided against every path I'd chosen to follow. I have slowly but surely gained back a lot of weight, and I can't seem to get myself out of the mentality that nothing I do will ever work out in my favor. Thinking about how much weight I had lost and then gained back makes me frustrated, and lessens my motivation to lose any of the weight again.
I have a job now, but it isn't the kind of job that college graduates should have. My timid personality causes every interviewer I've ever met to give me a big "No Thanks!"
I really don't know what else to do. I don't have anyone to turn to for emotional help and I certainly can't afford any type of therapy. I'll take any suggestions you can give.

get up. wear a white top. black bottom, skirt. dress nice. go out of house or apartment. make right. keep walking. greet 100 people. say hello. help a few people, hold the door open. give people reason to appreciate you being there. You are very important to the way the world works. you have a reason to be here. go with the flow. don't fight where you are going. be out in open air and wear a smile as hard as it maybe. you have a destiny to fulfill. Therapy is paying someone to listen to you. Make a few friends.

The underlying problem is your self perception. What do you like about yourself? Start there and start to think in positive terms. Anyone in in New Orleans, homeless would give their eye tooth for your problems. Start to look at the glass as half full and not half empty. Give yourself credit where credit where credit is due. You had the ability to complete college and hold a job. Look at the unemployment stats. Set realize goals for yourself and stop over generalizing.

No good answer for you only a big hug. You're not alone. I pretty much feel the same way and am in the same situation. I guess try to hit the gym and raise those seratonin levels. I'm trying to motivate myself right now. Good luck.

Exercise, go to www.dragondoor.com get a kettlebell and be transformed.
Understand that all things in life don´t mean anything.
read the power of now by eckhart tolle.
If you choose right now to live on the street and beg for the rest of your life you will still be fine. and will probably have a better time.
Read emotional intelligence, and boost it.
there is nothing in the human condition that cannot be improved.
The secret to happiness is:
Taking a genuine interest in the things of daily life and ellevating them to art.
Was on a postcard,

Big hug.

I would suggest tap dancing.....that's the way they did it in the movies.
However, the only person that you can get to motivate is you. You need to focus on your positives and not the negatives. Check in on Del Carnegie (sp????) It will build your confidence.
Tell yourself that "you can do it" and then do it.
