Depression and Weight IssuesHave you been diagnosed with depression, are possibly on depression medication, and find it affects your weight loss efforts? Post here for support!
I hope you don't mind if I join in and start posting my daily menus. I know it would help me stay on track if I knew everyone was reading what I put into my mouth.
I ate so horribly this weekend that I gained 4#. I'm doing a low-carb diet just until get off the initial weight that I gained or until I can't take it anymore, but this isn't a lifestyle for me. I usually eat a Jenny Craig style diet w/ small meals.
Monday:
Breakfast- 4 egg whites, 3 strips turkey bacon, coffee w/ splenda
Lunch-Cheeseburger w/ no bun, salad, diet soda
Snack-SF hot coco made w/ water
Dinner- Roasted chicken w/ veggies, small SF ice cream bar, diet ice tea
1/2 Pound Cooked Pork Bacon, crumbled
1 head fresh raw broccoli, cut into bite size pieces (I used only the flower part)
1/4 cup red onion, chopped
3 tablespoons white Vinegar
6 - 8 Pks Splenda (depends how sweet you like it)
1 cup mayonnaise
3 Tablespoons Cream
3 Tablespoons Water
2 Tablespoons Bacon Fat
1 Teaspoon Salt
Mix all ingredients together and let it sit over night, it has to or the flavors wont meld and the broccoli won't get soft.
I've been doing atkins for 7 months now, would have lost a heck of alot more if I'd been good and exercised, but I don't do either so wl is slow 27 lbs. I'm determined to have a good 10 lbs off by Easter !!!!
