They made me feel even worse about myself and how badly I'm feeling right now. .

(((((((((((((((((((( adel )))))))))))))))))) there are Weight Watchers meetings, and then there are Weight Watchers meetings for people who have a significant amount to lose. It is not inspiring, it is actually discouraging, for one such person to sit in a room full of bright young things who whine about having to lose three pounds.
by which I intend to say, maybe "chicken soup" etc is not the book for you; please don't beat yourself up because you don't heal completely in six months. Every case is different, every single person, and circumstance, is unique. Even if those case histories were true (and you will never know), there is no reason their stories would be anything like yours. Or mine. Etc. But if you work on your own issues, even though it's hard, and are careful to take credit for growth and healing when it occurs, you become an inspiring story for someone else.
about the job... I like your thinking, why wait "until you feel better" - if you start now, and it doesn't work out, you haven't lost anything; and if it helps you with having a goal, a schedule, responsibilities, and accomplishments - you know, that's a lot of benefits.
Good luck! let us know how you go
