    I am generally depressed cause the only support I get is my mom coming to my house daily telling me I am fat, I didn't get the promotion at work cause I am fat, No girls would like me cause I am fat and has my 3 year old daughter telling her to tell daddy he is fat and needs to get littler.. She puts picks of really large pics of large people on my fridge and tells me this is me.. I am not overly huge, I just have a large pot belly cause I love the taste of food and soda. Hard being a single father so I get worried I eat, I get nervous I eat, I get bored I eat.. I need real motivation, Wish there was someone whom lived in my area who can meet up work out and give motivation..

    Hi! I can understand how do you are fealing. My kids, my husband, and my self we are all fat for long time but my oldest son (16years old) started a program and he dropped about 80 pounds. he is in a schoolwork program out of the town, there he do not have access to the kitchen. My middle one (14 years old) just starter a program call Insanity, too intence for me, so I decide to start my program too but where can I found something for me. I bough a magazine and miracle i found myfitnesspal.com. not will be an easy thing to do specially if I have two very good cookers living with me.

    I'm depressed because I am. Don't think there's an actual reason for it. I've been off sick since February due to it and even been admitted to a clinic for a full month because I was a danger to myself. Now slowly getting myself back up. Very slowly.

    During the first three months I gained 20 pounds. So working to get that off again as apparently caring about how you look is important to get better. Good thing all the different medications give me the munchies or make me gain weight. Some days are better some days are worse.

    I am because I have lost the weight and realised it hasn't solved all my problems so maybe I actually have to deal with them! Problem is I don't know how

    Even though I'm doing better now, thanks to a cocktail of antidepressants, I'm a lifer, and I still have my bad days. Anyone who likes can friend me as well. I'm always there to listen and be supportive (well, not after 9 pm, but the rest of the day I am).

    i'm depressed, but thankfully ketosis helps a lot.
    it doesn't cure it completely, but at least i can get out of bed and not feel like killing myself everyday.

    Me too. i hate exercising with a passion, but i know that when i do i feel better mentally and physically AFTER i exercise, but definitely not during. i'll work out for about 2 weeks and stop. i've done this my whole life. i'll join a gym, 2 weeks, stop. started 30-day shred, did 2 DAYS, got really sore, stopped. started again, gained a pouind, stopped. it's just a vicious cycle because i hate doing it, and then i feel worse when i don't do it. :( hate it...

    Add me to this group! My dad was clinically depressed, as was his father...a nice family trait to have inherited. Thanks to a ton of yoga and a cocktail of AD's and Anti Anxiety meds...I'm a lot better. But, I still have my really dark days, and have just learned to live with it (I have 3 kids, so I don't have a choice). Hitting 40 made it worse, probably because of hormones and just the horrible reality that I am not a young, hip woman anymore (vain, I know). I feel like if I don't get a real handle on it right now, the next 45+ years (the women live long in my family) are going to be miserable. I feel like I'm fighting a losing and honestly quite selfish battle. It sucks, because I have relatively great life, yet I sit around worrying that I am missing out, which makes me more depressed...it is a vicious cycle. I'm like the people that are asking, "what's for lunch, " when they haven't even eaten breakfast! Slowing down and really focusing on enjoying the moment is my daily goal...and not letting anyone or anything get in the way of that happening! Ok, rant and therapy session over :flowerforyou: For all of my fellow sufferers...you are not alone!

    Yep, add me, too. Stress out at work, and the only relief I seem to get is in sleep. It's as though I absorb the family drama.

    Trying not to head for the other remedy, which is seeking solace in food.

    One other family member is trying to lose weight. The other family member is diabetic and is not only heading back into old habits, he shows no interest in changing. No exercise at all--just hangs out in a recliner all day.

    I don't want to be like that.

    You just described me (except I inherited from my mother's side, I only have two kids, and I'm only 29 :laugh: But the rest is right on, it just sucks that no matter what I do I'm still tired, depressed, and irratable. Coming to the realization that I am going to have to live with it and take life moment by moment.
