I am dealing with a very difficult depressive episode and when I'm this depressed all I think about is eating.

WHAT IS DIFFERENT THIS TIME THAT WILL MAKE YOU SUCCESSFUL: Well, I have been lurking on the 3FC boards for quite sometime. When I first started getting serious about weight loss, I was somewhat active, but I'm recommiting to being a part of this group and staying the course.

I was engaged to be married, had the wedding planned and everything (dress bought, location booked, etc.) then out of nowhere my fiance ended things. This happened in March of this year. I seemed to be doing really well at first and then I got hit with this massive wave of saddness which I have not been able to get out of for months. I'm in therapy, on medication, the whole nine yards, but nothing seems to be helping. I hear so often that this will just take time to run it's course. I just want to feel like myself again. I'm so sad. |

ANYTHING ELSE YOU WOULD LIKE PEOPLE TO KNOW ABOUT YOU? After getting my undergrad in Spanish, I decided to back to school to get my teaching license. After a year and a half of classes and my student teaching experience, I thought for sure that was what I wanted to do. In August, I thought I had landed my dream job teaching Spanish. It was just too much for me and it landed me in the hospital and in a treatment program for depression. I am moving past that and changing careers and hopefully my life. |
Hello!
First name: Kelly
Geographical location: Arizona (USA) Age: 31 Marital Status: Single, never married Children/Ages: None Occupation: Social Security Disability Pets: One kitten, Mia (6 months old) Hobbies/Interests: Writing, reading, drawing, television, movies, Flylady, Livejournal Height: 5’3” Eye/Hair Color: Green/brown Starting Date of Weightloss Journey: Jan 5, 2010 Starting Weight: 265 Present Weight: 265 Goal Weight: Ultimately 125-130, but my first goal is to get below 200 lbs. Biggest hurdle to overcome in weightloss: Depression, compulsive overeating, lack of self-control Following any specific plan: Not at the moment What is different this time in your weight loss efforts than in the past: I have no idea…I just know it’s try again or give up completely and I don’t have it in me to give up completely. Anything else you would like to share with us: I started gaining weight back in 1996 after an especially traumatic year. Until then I was thin. I was 106 pounds and taking two, two hour karate classes a week. I was extremely active and could eat anything I wanted because my metabolism was so high, it just burned right off. Then after my boyfriend committed suicide and I lost several friends to a car accident and a plane crash, I sunk into a SEVERE depression and gained a large amount of weight in a very short time. Shortly before all this I was diagnosed with Bipolar Disorder and put on meds but we didn’t get the chance to see if the meds worked because of having so many situational triggers. My depression was completely debilitating for many years. I continued to gain weight and spent many years attempting and failing to lose the weight, which only added to my self-hatred. I won’t go into detail here but I will just say that I have been in a very, very bad place for a long time, completely overwhelmed by self-hatred. I have absolutely no life, and if things continue with the way they are now, no hope for any kind of future. But I am not ready to give up yet. So here I am. Trying again. God, help me. LOL |
