I am a mother who suffers from depression, I have trouble getting myself motivated enough to stick to my plans to lose weight. So maybe meeting a few people who are going through something similar may help.

Fingers crossed!!!!

    Hi Octavia my name is Nathaly. I have 2 kids one is 20 months old the second 5 months and like u i suffer from depression. I live in Greece with my husband but besides him i have no one plus i'm dominican who can only communicate with my husband in English. Which i am trying to improve every day. Oh and i forgot i do not speak Greek even though i can understand a little thanks to mymother in law... who only speaks Greek. All this make my depression goes worse. My husband work too much and don't help me with the kids ( he doesn't have patience) but that's the only complaint i have about him besides that he is very good man and provide me and the kids with anything we need. I have 44 pounds extra after labor and i feel so uncomfortable with my body that why my husband got me the elliptical machine . I have like a week exercising and now with this app i will try to eat wealthier. All i can tell u is what my mom told me ones.. " your kids should be reason enough to snap out of that depression because they are the wonderful thing u got. Just been their mom makes u most powerful woman in earth." I hope that helps and sorry for the misspellings.
