Depression Medicine and Menopause = Wake up Call!

beachgirl1218

Hi All, Well in my attempt to change my eating habits, exercise more and lose some weight I have landed here after learning about MFP in the most recent issue of Health magazine! I have a lot to learn about eating right and nutrition. I was one of those "lucky ones" that never had to worry about what I ate or my weight until BOOM menopause! What a wake up call it has been. In the past couple of years I have really struggled with depression and weight gain which has been in part to the medication for the depression. However, I have to take responsibility for myself and where I am right now, it is not all the medicine! I finally feel better emotionally but I am not happy about where I am with my weight and my eating habits. So I am ready! Hoping to meet others on this really cool site!
