Miserable

Are you only looking for what's enjoyable?

I have decided to try to lose weight once again. I have been diagnosed with Fatty Liver disease caused by obesity and i have no idea how to make anything work out permanently. I am afraid of relapsing into smoking after almost a year of quitting (which is what started my re-obesity I am certain). I know I am capable of becoming "healthy" again and quite quickly, however the healthier I get the more depressed and sad I am, starved and with no means to deal with stress.

My suggestion is to try veganism starch (to eat cooked vegan food)/ Rawtill4 (eating raw vegan food till dinnet when you eat cooked) or fully raw. The benefits are a lot
not only that your skin will be more clear,you will get rid off acne,that you will lose weight TEMPORARY if you make it a lifestyle,you won't be constipated anymore (no dead flesh in your guts),you will have more energy,no mood swings ( I have to tell you before I become vegan I was constantly agressive and depressed so much that I needed to take pills and now I don't),you don't have to restrict on fuits and veggies, also many claim that they have reversed heart diseases,obesity and diabetes and the most important (at least for me) is that you help nature and animals.

I also think that the depression might be caused by the lack of glucose and carbs.

Maybe talking to your doctor or a therapist about depression would be a good place to start.

Crappy doctors don't do anything, they stuffed me with pills and always told me how sick when I had bulimia. But the fact is that you are the only one who can help yourself. I did it for myself, for my parent and for my boyfriend because I didn't wanted to waste their money and energy on me. Pills will make you only more depressed and you will gain weight belive me, I know.

Sounds like you might benefit from seeking some professional help. I would recommend that you go back to your Doctor and let him or her know that you need some help with your weight loss. A counsellor may also help with the stress and depression as there may be some underlying issues that you are not aware of and need to work through.

I wish you all the best.

I have talked to doctors and dieticians and therapists about some parts of it. They said that I don't need help but rather mental strength although I hadn't told them that I was a former smoker and alcoholic.

Well what comes across is that you dont have the motivation,the game plan or knowledge to get you to where you want to be. Not least because you dont even know whether you want to get there and have doubts about whether you can be bothered to commit. Commiting involves understanding whats required and being prepared to take action to achieve those aims as well as accepting that other things come with trying to achieve this.

Do you really want to lose weight? Cant you list down reasons about how your life would be improved and wouldnt it be a worthwhile thing to aim for?

For a lot of people, that first push to a new exercise or new routine is decidely not enjoyable. But you do it because you know you will enjoy the benefits. And, after time, it often does become rather tolerable and a welcome part of your self-care routine.

Not everyone has an exercise that makes them grin with glee and get super excited. You don't necessarily have to be thrilled to pieces about every part of your health-care rituals. Showering, applying deoderant, clipping your toenails, doing laundry. It just has to be done, so you do it. And you know you'll feel better afterward or see some results after the cumulative effects.

So you might not find it particularly enjoyable to walk around the block every day. But keep in mind that after you've done that nearly every day for a few months and kept a reasonably healthy diet, you'll start seeing changes in your body.
