I've been yo-yo ing for some time. I lost almost 30 pounds last year, but then my dad suffered a massive hear attack and died without any notice - no goodbyes, no last minute love you's or anything. I began gorging as a way to help comfort me and yep, I put the weight back on. I'm angry at myself, but it doesn't help being put on antidepressants either. I feel like theyve blown me up! :(

Going to start drinking my water, eating small meals and walking - know this is how I did it before, so it's not new, just got to be on a plan instead of going with what feels right at the moment.

    Baby steps are the way to go. I fall off the wagon all the time and have to regroup. I sent you a friend request for support.

    I know exactly how you feel. i experienced the same thing with my father 3 years ago. I was doing weight watchers and had lost 20 lbs, then he passed away from a heart attach(his first) and I stopped. I just joined this site today. My plan is to cut out soda and try the couch to 5k plan! Good luck! Hope everything works out for you! :-)

    I know exactly how you feel...I lost my mom 7 yrs ago & my dad last year....both to cancer....both much too soon....I purged myself for comfort too (& didn't care what it was doing to me)!!! I ,also, had lost 30 lbs in between the two passing.....Almost in disbelief that it was happening again, I put back on the 30 lbs and much more!! Until one day, a friend told me about MFP and I decided I had BETTER start taking care of myself !!! So, I started reluctantly & almost 100 days later...I'm still here!!! I can't believe it myself--but I'm loving it!!! Feel free to friend me for encouragement....'cause we ALL need it from time to time:flowerforyou:
