Hi
 

Oh My God, I can't believe how fat I've gotten! I've gained 50 pounds in the 2 and 1/2 years I've been severely depressed. It really has to stop or I'll be fat/fatter/fattest of them all soon! So I'm starting a diet/exercise plan while I begin Magnetic Seizure Therapy (MST) as a subject in a clinical trial for severe depression. It won't be easy I'm sure. Maybe the treatment will work though and I'll find it easier to stop eating and get moving! I prefer to calorie count and eat a balanced diet with all food groups reasonably included so that's what I'll do. I lost 50 pounds after a severe depression 20 years ago and kept it off until now so I guess if I did it once, I can do it again, right? It sure wasn't easy though, sigh....

Welcome!

You sure CAN do it again! It's a tough journey, but we can all get there with patience and hard work. I struggle with depression also so I feel your pain there (ugh!). I'm new around here and I find the stories and support offered very inspiring and I hope you do too!
