Having a hard time

in Introduce Yourself
I feel like I have been a part of MFP forever and constantly losing and gaining the same 10lbs. I just get so depressed about my weight and it's pretty isolating. It's just this cycle of eating out of depression and being depressed because I'm eating. I get married in 9 months and the only part of it that I'm nervous about is that attention on my fat. No one in my day to day life really understands. Anyone else ever feel or have felt like this?

    I totally feel you. I've been stuck at 163 for the past month or so. I weigh myself and I'll be down a little then the next week I'll be up just over a pound. It's so frustrating. I get into my moods when I say if I'm gaining weight then I might as well enjoy gaining weight, so I eat whatever I want. Then I feel worse. So hopefully this time I can give myself the time I need to actually start losing instead of getting so discouraged so fast. So let's just hang in there! Btw congrats on getting married soon!

    Agreed, it is depressing. But you know what they say, you just gotta keep at it. Keep hitting that wall until it crumbles! Good luck!

    Dr. Daniel Amen's book The Amen Solution may help... Psychiatrist with brain health approach to weight-loss... St. John's Wort maybe a good supplement for you to take... He is on PBS quite often as is Dr. Joel Fuhrman both with great approaches to eating well and being healthy... Yes, that is 74 pounds lost since July 14th... I take every bit of great advice and run with it. The Amen Solution and The Blood Sugar Solution have both worked wonders for me...

    Oh yeah! That's exactly how I feel. I lost 35 lbs about 6 years ago and have gained back 20 in the last year and a half. I've only been on MFP for a couple of weeks but I went from 190 to 186.5 back to 189 and now at 187.5. I find it extremely hard to keep my eating in check. All you can do is wake up each day and try again. With the help of all of us here at MFP of course ;)
