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!
Well it's almost midnight so I'm starting the thread for Wednesday. I have to go pick up my youngest son at the school at midnight. They have been at a marching band festival all day that was out of town. Boy are they gonna have a long day at school tomorrow.
I never did make it back to today's thread. It was kind of crazy for me, but it sure was good to see everybody's post!
Tippy, I'm so glad you popped in! I'm always wondering how you are doing and what you are up to.
Cin, do you have any meetings today?
Kemp, how ya feeling today? any better?
Lynnie, whassup girlie?
Liz, don't ya just hate it when you take the time to type out a message and then it's lost in cyberspace somewhere! grrrrrrr
After work today I called the house and left a message that I was stopping on the way home to get in a walk since I didn't get to go during my lunchhour. I changed my clothes and took a different route home and stopped at a shaded park and walked the walking track for 35 minutes. Then I came home and did 25 minutes of strength training too. Then I cooked some supper and washed a bunch of clothes.
Ok chickadees...I hope everybody has a blessed day! I will check back in when I get to work and get my coffee cup!

Good Morning
Wow Cath! You sure are an early bird (late bird?)
I've been busy running back and forth for the last few days. Shopping, getting my leg brace adjusted (I have a new spring in my step-literally ), and shuttling my husband and son to and from work have me worn out! I finally made it to my TOPS meeting last night. I GAINED 1.75, but I wasn't really surprised. My eating last week was not good. I'm finally getting back on track, so this week should be better.
Tippy: I was glad to see you posting. I'm sorry you're still having probs w/your leg. I hope you'll be doing better soon
Lynnie: How did your DH do w/his BiPap? This will help you too-no more snoring
Cathy: Sounds like you had a very busy and productive day yesterday. Hope your DS stays awake in school today
Kemp: Take care of that cold. P.S. Homemade chicken soup really does work !
Joanne hang in there, I have weeks where I gain too or I don't lose, but its okay, we will try try again
Cathy bravo on the walking and exercising, man you should definitly lose now.... just watch those calories and its in the bag!
I remember strength training at a gym and I gained weight..OY, dummy me was so angry I stopped DUH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! eeerrrr!
Live and learn huh.
Nothing new here, just sleepy today. The boss is supposed to be at meeting and for some reason she's not going GROWL!!!! it just ruins my entire day HA!
I stayed on plan yesterday but ate to many calories OY! what can I say except I should have went to bed when I felt the munchies come on.
Well today is a busy day.....I have to get my house in order for the housekeeper tomorrow........sort pics for in-laws big party in Dec and workout!
The days are running into each other and I feel like I am getting nothing accomplished...I know on one level that I am but on another level I feel as though I am going backwards....
Hubby and I need to get out and do something together......we are both miserable at the moment....we are barely speaking and seem like two ships passing in the night.
Anyhow this too shall pass....
Good to see lots of posts though I wonder where all our other friends are.......anyone seen judo mom lately?
Homebound.....way to bounce back.....hang in there!
Cathy hope you aren't too tired today.
Lynnie I will look into the bipap vrs cpap....I haven't forgotten.
Anyone have a weight vrs height book handy? My aunt is 5 3 and she was 168 lbs.....she is now down to 139 lbs.....she did it on slimfast and relearning portions...she looks great....she wants to know if she needs to lose more. I should go dust off my ww stuff.
I messed up last night really bad; I binged and I don't know why.
DH is doing greatly with the Bipap.He didn't snore at all last night.Today I am sick though; I feel as though I am coming down with bronchotis already this year.Its this weather one minute iits gorgeous and the next its cold.
I hope that everyone has a great day and I am going to try and rest up before i get to sick.
Good Morning Ladies,
I am frantically cleaning out the spare bedroom and go to work at 2:30..........so I took an apple break and decided to post!
My MIL is arriving tomorrow to stay until Sat night.we are attending a Womens Conference for 3 days at church.
I am also preparing the room for my dear daughter to return to. I am not sharing details at the moment but she is divorcing her hubby of 1 1/2 years. Sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo here I go again......making room!
Oh a Mothers unconditional love goes alonggggggggggggg way!
Heading for the attic to store some stuff.............
Oh by the way..................3 weeks today on my finger surgery!
I ask the Dr last week how much longer for the pins and splint and he said......6 to 8 weeks.I was afraid to ask longer or from Oct 1 st when I had the surgery!! Sure is a long time to not get wet and shower with one arm! Hubby is getting dish pan hands too!
Hey guys. I am just waking up and it is 1:30. As you can guess I stayed home form work. I am just not feeling right today either. I really can't rest very well with the new puppy around. I have to keep an eye on her to make sure that she doens't get into to much trouble.
I can't chat long I am still pretty sluggish so I am going to go lay back down. See ya tomorrow.
Well, I just thought that I would pop in here to update on what is happening here. Not much actually. We lead pretty boring lives here in Arizona .
I am planning on leaving work a little early today because we have a parent/teacher conference at the school for my oldest DS. Then we have bible study/choir practice tonight as well. Tomorrow we have a meeting at the school to discuss speech therapy for my youngest DS. AND I have a meeting with my learning team for MY school....still trying to figure out how I am going to do both of these. Friday we have our home group bible study, and then Saturday morning I have class. There is a lot of running around involved, but it is still boring stuff for the most part.
Well, I am expecting my depression to start flaring up again anytime now. Do you all recall a couple years ago when they started discussing PMDD (Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder)? According to all the "signs and symptoms" that is what I have. My depression really flairs up right around TOM and then tends to settle down shortly afterward. So since TOM is just around the corner, I am figuring I need to start preparing myself for that. DH and DS's better look out, cause I am going to be on a rampage.
Okay, I am sitting here at lunch, and that time is almost over, so I better get off here in order to be able to read all the other posts. I hope that everyone has a wonderful afternoon and evening.
Lynette I have relatives that live in AZ, the Phoenix area. Never been there myself but my inlaws tell me its HOT!
Lynnie hang tight girl, its okay, you goofed once, don't let it get you down. I am struggling myself today to try to stay away from the pnut butter jar.. Growl, I just want to dive into it head first because I'm feeling like I wanna jump out of my skin the past week or so. People just don't realize that when your dealing with your weight its one thing, but when your dealing with depression and weight its another ball park. They have no clue how one little thing can trigger such a major reaction (like over eating - like I did last night). Not feeling well physically, like a cold suckaroonies... when I'm sick all I wanna do is eat because eating is pleasure to me, it makes me feel good and in my mind when I'm sick, I wanna feel good so I eat & eat & eat. But do I get better ? Nopers it only makes matters worse, and do I listen to myself OY! Hang in there kiddo, tomorrow's another day and well just say to yourself, its okay, you goofed, you won't do it again tomorrow.... get mad if you have to... do what ever works. Good thing there's none of that Hazelnut cake in here anymore or I would have a hard time today trying to resist it.
Liz, Cin, Tippy, Kem, Lynnie hope you guys are feeling better soon... hey maybe I should put my own name on this list
April where yah hiding ?
Come to think of it, we're missing a few others who shall be nameless - BOO !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Leenie.....I am not hiding....just had a busy day yesterday....didn't get to the computer until late yesterday.
Cin.....we had sort of the same thing happen in our family....I never mentioned it before....DS2 & his wife separated in August....she moved out...they were married for 4 years & lived together for 4 1/2 years before that.
We have had a really nice 2 days here....sunny & warm...up to +20C....but it poured rain on the weekend.
I made some applesauce this week....it tastes so much better than the store bought kind.
DH & I have started to walk in the Multiplex....we will try to walk there 3 or 4 times a week over the fall & winter.
I have been doing good with my eating....still doing Ediets.
