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!
So, I've never been one who can't eat when I'm stressed. This week, however, I went 3 days where I could only force myself to eat a couple apples, and a little yogurt. I felt like CRUMB, let me tell ya. I finally had to kick myself in the rear and force myself to eat. It's still a struggle, but at least now I'm keeping up the energy to stay moving.
thinking of all of you, and glad you are thinking of me too.
You know we are, Amarie! Confession - I hear ya. I have some kind of flu-like bug, and am managing little more than soup and some yogurt... it's not good. Funny how we WANTED those days when we hardly ate, eh?
Here's what I say: I eat like a bird - a pterodactyl! Or a vulture??
Hope - all my fingers and toes are crossed that kitty comes home.
Leenie, my love - great to see you. Can always tell when you're working too hard - we don't see enough of you!!
Sassy - how you doing, girl?
Come back other chickies - we want you here!!
At least tomorrow's a holiday here - suspect I need the rest.
What a wonderful welcome! Thank you!! And to answer a question, I have tried a few different pills yet some made things worse. I have been on prozac for around 9 months and feel much more myself.
You all seem so wonderul and supportive. I feel very fortunate to have found this thread!
To those other members who celebrate Victoria day, enjoy it tomorrow!
Feeling better just knowing that you all are out there!
Amarie -- Sorry to hear you are stressed my mom and I are the same way. Infact in HS that is how I lost a lot of weight. My boyfriend (at the time) totally stressed me out. Yeah shoulda, woulda, coulda, uh huh, live and learn. lol. Heres hoping you feel some relief!
Heather -- We worked on the house some more on our days off. DH got the futon put together so when my mom comes this week to stay with us, she has a place to sleep at least! Its coming along, have a few things left to do, but its about finished! YEE-HAW!
MissRicer!!
Big to those who need it right now.

Well, my week just keeps getting better and better... only not. Friday night my car got broken into (and by broken into I mean I forgot to lock it and someone rifled through it). I laughed it off because I didn't think they got anything. Wrong! Today I got a call from my bank wondering what was going on with me going a spending spree with my medflex check card. So today I am calling all my creditors and reporting any unaccounted for cards as stolen. Woohoo - still not sure why I had cards in my car anyway.
On the up side, my dosage of pzac was recently upped to help me get through saying goodye to Cleo, and it seems to be helping me see the humor in my latest misfortunes.
Heather - take care of yourself. I know what you mean, I used to "envy" my sisters who deal with stress by not eating. Not anymore. No energy = no anything. I am still struggling to eat, but am able to keep small amounts down more frequently, so I have a little more energy. Normally, I'd say I say I eat like Big Bird.
Missricer - I'm glad you have found a med that works for you. Happy Victoria day!
Sassy -funny to think I used to envy people who dealt with stress like this. No more.
Amarie, I"m so sorry about your car. That's such a horrible feeling. I had it happen to me as well (broke the driver's window) and you feel so violated! Just remember, don't put up with any trouble from your banks about cancelling cards etc. you are the victim in this. Hopefully you are dealing with kind people.
In terms of upping your dosage, do whatever you need to do to get through. I hope you have friends and family that you can lean on.
Hello to all my other new friends out there
Back to the grind tomorrow. Thankfully the rain sand chance of flurries in the forecast didn't materialize, it was a fairly lovely weekend. Didn't get much done, but oh well. The two girls had a great little trip. DdC is now very sore!! There was a pool at the hotel so they were able to go swimming as well.
Amarie I sure hope things start on the upswing for you soon
I better get some sleep so I can deal with tomorrow.
Missricer. I look forward to getting to know ya!
