Happy to find all these great tips. What works for me is to never have that first bite of something I will binge on. I never want to binge on salad, and I don't even binge on all rich desserts. Only a few ones are irresistible. I can treat myself with coconut macaroon treats without binging, but not nata coco pudding cups…

I lost almost 10 pounds just by drinking 2 L of water (I'm 5'1" for reference) and taking fibre supplements daily either in the form of inulin, chia seeds or psyllium husk. I know a lot of the weight loss was water, but some of it was definitely fat. The water and fibre helps fill you up so you don't need to eat as much.…

Right now I'm on Celexa. I've tried citalopram and escitalopram only. I notice that the sharp edge of life feels a little softer and I feel a little less anxious, but I'm still sad and feeling like I'm numb and dead inside. Maybe I should shop around for another medication.

thank u for the link! I just googled superbetter and it's exactly the kind of thing I was hoping was out there

Re: the person who said you might have to avoid a person This is good advice. I have a really dysfunctional family. When I first got depressed to the point where it was debilitating, I stopped talking to my sister for 2 years. She would always order me around and put me down, and after a lifetime of it I had no energy to…

thank you for your tips all. I'm going to save this page on my computer. Some of you guys/girls are so gorgeous/fit I can't believe you're depressed (even though I know in my head it's something that can and does affect anybody).

Actually I just realized I lied. I do look forward to 1 thing: and that is a delicious meal. Meal time and sleep are the happiest parts of my day. It's making it hard to lose weight because I'm losing one of the things that I look forward to every day.

thanks all for your tips and for letting me know you're in the same boat. I feel so blah/bored and uncomfortable, all the time. I can't derive any enjoyment from anything or look forward to anything, for no special reason. The meds take the edge off a little, but the feelings are still there. If I had my way I would sleep…

Rachel McAdams at a spa I used to work at in Toronto. She is so tiny in real life

I feel exactly the same way, but I don't have the strength to resist these toxic feelings like you do. Somewhere inside I want to put my life on hold, even if it means never really living. I don't want to put myself out there to get rejected right now.

Getting haemorrhoids and acid reflux at the ripe old age of 26! I still have a long way to go but I'm getting better at healthy eating every day.

My married and in relationship friends are all stressed out about launching their careers and money. I have the freedom to work on my education in peace without feeling like somebody else is invested in it.

the comic is true. I always thought picard was cute but that bald guy from arrested development is not hot at all.

Everybody on spongebob squarepants is extremely annoying. I never really watched the show but I've gone to people's houses and seen their kids watch it.

nay for me

As long as you're not shirtless nobody will notice even the worst case of moobs. That's with a thin t shirt too, not the sweatshirt you're wearing.

I'm a woman and from your pic I don't think you have moobs at all. You are actually thinner looking than most of the non-ripped people I know.

I think Oprah had some recs but I can't remember what they were

I lost a chihuahua and at the end of my journey Imma lose an air conditioner

I think any mat works as long as you have one of those microfibre yoga towels. You can get them anywhere.

You're eating really nutritious food. I think a few days at 1000 when you feel stressed is not going to kill you, but if it lasts more than that you should make yourself eat more healthy calories until you reach 1200.

WOW that's crazy. I thought the brownies had to be 50% air lol

I take centrum but I heard it's the worst one lol

What do you eat in a typical day? Just curious. I'm not a doctor but I think you're probably fine. Just check in with yourself and if you ever feel uncomfortable up the calories.

For stress I like watching youtube guided meditations. I also like getting lost in a good book and watching TV - anything that will get me out of my head a little. The youtube stuff actually works. I highly recommend it.

If you look up "Harvard nutrition" they have a recommended plate which shows you how much protein, veg, etc.. you should eat in a meal. It's useful to get ideas.

Nobody ever said anything mean to me, which made things hurt even more. Somebody gave up a seat to me because they thought I was pregnant, and much worse things happened as well. I think I would have to have plastic surgery to feel happy and normal because this stuff has damaged me psychologically.

I agree with the men who said educated, professional guys can be picky about their partners. I don't blame them, just as I don't blame myself for choosing these kinds of men over less educated, less professional guys. People like what they like.

Just drink it instead of drinking calorie laden beverages. It can kill the cravings for something sweet to drink. When you're at starbucks get a green tea.
