Hey, I'm new to 3Fatchicks. I thought I'd introduce myself to this forum, as I'll be poking around frequently. One of the reasons I need to diet is because I'm at the point where I don't even want to leave the house. I moved away from home, and one of the chief reasons I don't want to visits - is so I won't be the friend who got fat - as most of my heavier friends are now loosing weight and I've gained it.
My doctor put me on Welbutrin for anxiety and anger issues, but it doesn't seem to do much for depression. She doesn't want to put me on anything that causes weight gain since that will make the situation worse. I make it worse on my own, so why do I need medicine to do it, eh? I feel sad, so I eat, then I feel sad because I ate - so I eat more... and we have snowballed into a 40lb weight gain since I graduated College in 2005.
So - I need to break the snowball effect, and stop the diet-on-diet-off rollercoaster that has been my life recently. I will stick to it this time! (Having people to remind me and hold me accountable is a good thing though!)
