Help, I can't seem to shake the blues.

Hi. I'm 29 years old and over 330 pounds (not sure of exact weight). I just recently began considering WLS because I have been unsuccessful at every other weight loss attempt I've tried. I cry alot when I look in the mirror. If I could avoid mirrors I would. At times I don't think of my weight and then I will see my reflection in a window or my HUGE shadow on the ground and whatever happiness I had quickly evaporates. I am constantly moody and take it out on my husband (who by the way is great and very supportive). He knows how miserable I am and how desperate I am to lose this weight. I'm scared that I am going to eat myself into an early grave. That the family we want to have will not happen because of my weight. And...if I did by chance have a child, I would be unable to participate in it's life because I would be to fat to do anything except sit back and watch. I cry myself to sleep most nights. I am so disgusted with myself and very ashamed of myself and how I look and that I am at this point. I hate going to restaurants because most times my hubbie wants a booth & I don't fit too well in them so I'm uncomfortable during the meal. I could really use some support and help through all of this. WLS seems to be the only solution. I am so thankful that I found this site. I could really use some support and advice through all of this.
