I feel so out of control. Not only has my weight gone spirling out of control so has my life and emotions. Some days I want to try to get better, healthier, and back to gether. Others I have to fight to get out of bed. I am at my all all ALL time highest weight. My relationships are suffering. I hate my self. I am at my wits end. I know once I get back on my medication, I will fill better right. I have bee off for way to long....8 months. I can't remember what is is like. Will I shed pounds because of the Met. and Spiro? I am sure the Zoloft will help with the depression and attacks. I just need some reasurence. Will I feel better? Lose weight? Help me.

Default Here for you

We have so much in common. I am at my highest weight currently, am often depressed and my relationships suffer very much.
I lay in my bed at night and think all the positive thoughts, make plans on how I'm going to lose 50 pounds just like that, how I am going to meet the man of my dreams etc. but in the morning I feel empty and lazy.

I've been on Prozac a year ago but I didn't like it. I think it make me even more numb, I couldn't feel anything. It didn't matter whether good or bad things happened, I felt the same. I wouldn't want to go back on antidepressants for nothing on this planet. I still suffer very much under depression but think that the pills are not an answer.

I wish you all the best for the future, if you want to talk, I am here for you. You can PM me anytime.

The medications should help you. The zoloft should help you feel calmer and better able to cope with life in general. This might help you lose weight. The other meds should help with PCOS which, again should help with everything else. When you feel as though you're taking charge of your life, you will be. It could be tough though. Nothing truly worthwhile isn't. But, we'll be here when you need us. Good luck. And, if you find a magical weight loss charm, feel free to share I could use it too! Hugs, Lendi

Okay, so you might think I am completely mad here, but hey, I am willing to risk it.

I have a real hard time with my motivation to exercise at the moment. I had suffered depression during the last twelve months and everything seemed to go "to pot".

I read a thread about the website "Flylady.net" and had their book on how to organise household chores. So now I am using the same method for exercise.

You use a card box and cards with index cards as separators. I have my index cards numbered 1-28 only at the moment because I am trying to look at my diet as 28 days at a time. then on cards I write down something I intend to do towards my fitness goals (a 35 minute exercise video on one card, a 10 minute yoga workout on another, a 1 hour walk on another). I use white cards for the things I want to do everyday and coloured cards for, say, blue for three times per week, pink for once a week etc. Some things are not exercise, like, listening to a relaxation tape, etc. but things that I just never get around to doing for myself. Hey, you could even have one just for say, painting your toenails, whatever it is that would make you feel better if only you could get around to doing it.

Okay, so then I put the every day card in front of the next day and slot the others into certain days for the next week. On top of the card you put how long it is (i.e. 10 minutes, half an hour, one hour, etc etc). Then when you have time in the day you just pull a card out depending on how much time you have and do whatever it says on the card.

Sometimes when you are feeling low it is difficult to remember/motivate yourself to stick to your goals. I just find this method helps because then I don't have to think about it. I just pick a card out and do it. And usually when I have I feel so much better!

Cool Maddy. What a neat idea. I would have never thought of it. And, I can really see how it can help a lot. Better yet, exercise, even in small amounts help with depression as well. Thanks for sharing

Unhappy Doing a little better...I think.

I want to thank everyone for their support. I am doing a lot better this week. It is a weekly thing...as most of you know. I met a guy last night. Who knows what will happen. I tend to push people away, even if I want some thing more. In my mind I cant see how any man would prefer me over a skinny chick. Don't get me wrong. I am a great catch (when I am not having a mini nervous break down). I am a young attractive professional woman with my whole world ahead of me. Yet I focus one one small thing and I let it consume me...you know? I don't know...Just had to ramble a little. Love all you girls.
