Another newbe

  • Hi all, new to the forums but not to having weight issues. I hit 210 in a fit of depression just before I split up with my ex-husband. Lost most of it and was almost to goal when I began a new relationship. That was 8 years ago. Im still with my new love but have found my self back into fits of depression and thus have been regaining weight. Last time I was weighed I was 167 (2wks ago) and I do not want to become the person I was. I am now taking medication for my depression and have found it makes me feel tired but dont want to stop taking it because I finally feel balanced emotionally.
    I am the mother of four my younger three are physically and mentally handicapped and I am currently back in school trying to finish my degree so time for exercise is limited. Any advice, tips and/or encouragement will be greatly appreciated. I am looking forward to having a support system to help me keep focused on my goals and am grateful to 3FC for creating this site.

    Before I go and write a novel I'll stop and say Hi to all and I am looking forward to hearing and helping as much as I can.
  • Eomiel, I am Lisa and I live in Toledo, OH. I myself am divorced and attending school as well. One thing you might want to do is check with your doctor to see if there is another medication that you could try. Feel free to join us on the week of . . . thread.
