Loss of Control
When I am faced with foods I WANT to eat but I know I shouldn't. I go for it every time. Does anyone else have this problem? The voice in my head is shouting NO but I still go for it. And I am sad, and ashamed. I have no self-respect. I need help, anything to help me choose the right foods.

Self-care and Depression
Hey guys. When I feel blue (extra depressed/sad) I lose my ability to care about myself - ie, not logging food, not eating as well, not going for a walk or doing my PT exercises. My usual Christian practices lapse too & when I do pray it doesn’t help. Any thoughts on how to overcome this cr*p??

Overcoming Depression
Hello, I suffered a heart attack at the ripe old age of 47. I was surprised to learn that depression is a common side effect after a major medical event.

Newbie Introduction! Getting a head-start on 2024 lifestyle changes!
Hello! I grew up as the oldest of a large, single-income family. Caring for others was emphasized before caring for myself. Until my 20s I now realize I was (slightly) malnourished and had no concept of how to keep my body fit and gain strength/muscle. Through my 20s, when I did care for myself, it was through skincare or…
