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!
Not a thing shakin' here, chicks! Just a plodding day of chores and errands... although I am feeling less monstrous now that my mid-cycle craziness has passed, and I am getting more sleep this week!
Hi ODAAT, welcome to our chat. Look forward to getting to know you.
I tried get some things done today but it didn't really work out. They all involved phone calls and nobody answered, even a repair shop. Strange. I did get an email about a couple of Pomeranians that I put in an application for though and the lady should be calling me later today. Leenie, these are resue dogs. I'm trying to go that route, but it is a long process. It's harder to find small dogs this way but I think it is worth the effort. Most rescue dogs I find are very large and we just want a small house dog. I'll keep you posted.
Tonight is pool league and I need to hit the shower.
I've been spending my time over at the Binge Eaters support bit, and thought I should stop by here and say hello.
I've suffered from depression since I was about 12, and have currently been unable to work for 2 years. I'm taking lofepramine but the improvement is very slow.
The depression certainly makes weightloss hard - I'm pretty much unable to exercise so the loss is very slow.
Can anyone explain to me why if fat chicks shouldn't wear horizontal stripes and we are allowed about 2 stores to shop in that carry plus sizes, why are they filled with only horizontal stripes, not vertical? Anyone?
Nothing of news here, folks... still arguing with the other half - seems to be all we do these days I'm sure it's me: as I am changing, I'm not as willing to put up with the same things I have for years. And he is absolutely, stubbornly against ANY change. Life is hard these days. Oh my, I sound like I'm throwing a pity party - stop! Stop it now!
I'm resetting my mini-goal for August: I missed my August 1st mini-goal by 2 pounds (3 today - grr - I HATE being premenstrual!) and found myself thinking "Well, I'll just have to lose TWELVE pounds by September 1st...!" Okay - back to reality for me. So - mini-goal of 7 pounds for August... and if I beat it - great!
Hope everyone else is happy and having a movin', shakin' kind of day!
Heather: I think 7 lbs sounds like a reasonable goal. You have been very consistent with making good choices and exercising. It's great to see that you've made such a big dent in your long term goal. I hope hubby comes around to appreciating your self improvement. You are doing the right thing by taking care of yourself however, even if it is putting you two in different places in your lives right now.
I spoke to the dog adoption lady last night and we are sheduled to go see the 2 pomeranians on Monday. They are 6&7 yr old girls. Very cute and only weigh about 5 lbs each. Can't wait.
It's hot here today. Nothing going on but we may see a movie later.
Have a good Friday ladies!
Sassy: Glad you made and appearance. We are all thinking about you and hope all is well.
Leenie, the summer and the whole year seems to be flying by. I feel almost like I'm skipping this year. It's weird being unemployed.
It is unbearably hot here. We went out to breakfast today, despite the fact that I got up and went to the store to get eggs. Then we took a long motorcycle ride out to a friend's house and back. We rented the movie 'Babel' but haven't watched it yet. That's about it for today.
