I needed this Spark! in the middle of my depression

Yes, I took a nutrition class & they recommended that site & I haven't looked at it yet.  Thanks for the nudge.  I'll do it right now.  I need to lose 50 lbs. so I'm with you on making a commitment to do exercising & healthy eating.  I actually just started a class called "Emotional Eating."  Two therapists are teaching it.

 

I know I'm eating not just out of hunger or for nutrition, but to self-soothe, almost to self-medicate!

 

 

about your situations and things going on with your loved ones, heck that would send anyone into depression honey.....I am a rapid cycling mixed mood bp and i know that even the little things can either send me MANIC or Depressed (deeply) and I ALWAYS feel alone and lonely even with my wonderful husband who is my ROCK and even with my family around me, I know weird, it is to me to, but like you said,you kinda get used or at least know what to expect..... On the gaining weight thing, I personally have went the other way, after the death of my buddy, my daddy, i just can't get the taste for food back and literally have to be reminded to do so. It is just as difficult on the other end of the weight gain....weight loss...MASSIVE weight loss and makes me weak and susceptible to illness for i have many physical illnesses too and that isnt good for me to not eat....I have lost 55 lbs since my dad died and can't get a bit of it back , i literally look like a skeleton when i get the nerve to actually look in the mirror which i now avoid like the plague.... but girl you hang in there and know that all of us here are sending you some positive energy and some encouragement to hang in there and if you need to rest and let the depression cycle go through....please do so, no one knows how intense this illness can be unless they have it too....so listen to your body and do what is right for YOU honey... again, i am sorrry to hear of your heart breaking problems....know that i am praying for you and yours and that i wish you some relief very very soon....i hope the little child is doing alright, my goodness what a frightening thing, and your daddy too.....mine too was in a VA hospital and really received great care but he was unable to make it out of there, and oh my heart is still punctured with a hole big enough to drive a vehicle through, a part i'll never get back until we meet again in our TRUE HOME one day.... please stay with the program you mentioned for it seems like it was a positive experience for you honey and know you always have friends here to talk and hold your hand through it all.... lotsof good wishes to you honey, ctrygirl
