No Support :(

You should definitely see a nutritionist! I think that you can gain the tools you need to take charge of your weight loss and health, and you would be surprised how that can boost your mood. Therapy is helpful, and it doesn't hurt to try it.

Find your support here, in others that are struggling...just like you. You aren't alone!

Hello Jessica,

I understand the depression, I understand having no support. I understand feeling alone in this. One thing you cant change is how your loved one feels about a nutritionist. I am sure he is just giving his opinion about matters. You can take his advice or not. You do what YOU feel like you need to do. Personally, Id love to go see a nutritionist. They obviously know more than us or we wouldnt all be fat and trying to lose weight. Do you know what you have power over? YOU and the way YOU feel. It is difficult to try and lose weight when you feel down and depressed. I will tell you that I have found out that exercise releases endorphin's that make you feel better And that is a fact! Try it for a week, work out just 20-30 min everyday and see if you can tell a difference, that and along with a good diet. There are tons of websites and recipes out there that can help you. I am here always to help, a listening ear or whatever. I am just starting this program and so far I have found the best people, JUST LIKE ME on here. Add me and we can help each other..you can have tons of support on here anytime!

Thank you everyone for your support and comments. It makes me feel good to know that there are so many of you out there willing to give me a good push!

It truly means a lot.

also the person who said that it was crap, must have realized what they said was wrong and apologized afterwards and said they knew what they said was very hurtful and is going to try and be more supportive.

Who knows.

All I know is Thank you all very much again for being my friends!

Please go seek help! Coming from someone who has depression, it can get ugly quick. Doctor's are there for you and can help you. I didn't seek help at first because I didn't want anyone to think I was crazy. Seeing a doctor was the best thing I've ever done for myself. I was put on some medicine and feel better.

Nutritionists are very kind and caring, its what they do. My Mom went to see one before she had gastric bypass and she was the most kind person I've ever met. She was full of knowledge and was very happy to help my Momma.

Sometimes, we don't get the support from the ones you love. That's what we're here for! The doctors, nutritionists are all here to help us.

I started working out and using MFP in mid-November and have lost 17 pounds. Working out really does help with depression. I feel great! I still take my medicine too.

Anyways, friend request me and I'll be happy to support you!

I'm glad he has realised how wrong he sounded to you. Just a thought too, it appears your boyfriend may have a weight issue also going by your photo. Could he be feeling insecure in himself that if you lose your weight , he might lose you? That you might be more attractive to other men and leave him. I had a friend in a similar situation. Her husband was very insecure about her losing weight. They talked about it and everything was sorted out. Just a thought

Girl, go to the nutritionist. Just give it a try, won't hurt you to see what advice they have for you.

I'm a physical therapist in a hospital and work with them all the time, the nutritionist girls that I work with are really sweet and nice, and know what they're talking about. Hopefully, you'll find a good one, that said I have not found a bad one yet.

You can do this girl!!!!


P.S. Tell you loved one to quit being an *kitten*

Go see a good nutritionist.
By that I mean one who doesn't have an agenda to push particular products but goes by nutrients and numbers.
They'll suggest what you might try but not force you in a particular direction.
Also, unless that way inclined, avoid ones that might suggest you become vegan or some such.
You should be comfortable with what you eat and not feel compelled to follow each microdot of what they say.
