I am a binge eater. It has been on going for over 15 yrs. I go in cycles of 6-8 mos at a time. It's either all or nothing for me. I am very depressed when in the binge mode, and doing great when I am eating healthy and exercising. Tuesday I see a therapist for help. I am so tired of this destruction. I have been told if…

I have trialed and taken a lot of anti-depressants over the years. I have been on Wellbutrin SR 150 for over 6 yrs now. It's ok. I don't feel like sobbing all day, however I do still suffer from depression...possibly SAD. I have never noticed any change with my appetite while on this dose. But, a couple years ago when I…

Good for you. Asking for help takes a lot of courage. Go ahead and write it all down...you will hopefully feel some relief by just doing that. Breathe in.....breathe out..... You're going to do just fine. And when you are done with your appointment, I pray that you feel more hopeful. Will be thinking of you and praying…

Name: kelly_a Age: 47 Location: Heartland of the USA Reason for wanting to lose weight: To feel and look healthy....ALL the time. Having clothes that fit, no matter what season. I know I can lose weight, it's maintaining any loss that I struggle with. It's very difficult for me to change my lifestyle when my mental issues…

Yes, I have a therapist. Not seeing her right now, but am tempted to give her a call since I am suffering again. She was referred to me by my best friend. I honestly love my therapist. She has 3 times pulled me out of serious issues and kept me on the mend. She has a way of explaining things to me..simply. Helping me build…

I have never done any research...but with my own family (mother's side), there have been 3 suicides. A cousin at 21, another cousin at 67, and my grandfather at 70. Lots of mental illness, some treated, some not. I suffer greatly myself and am medicated for major depression. However, I feel I have something else going on…

This is me. Why does this happen? I feel like 2 different people. I never know when the "modes" are gonna change. It's very frustrating and mentally exhausting. I hate it...has been happening for over 16 yrs...still can't figure it out. Like another poster said, up and down a lot, cannot maintain. Didn't have weight issues…

I would just keep doing any modified version that is similar to the movement that works best for you...even if it is nothing close to her modified version. Try doing just the movement of standing to the push-up position but don't go down for the actual push-up. kind of like in a plank position. then go back to standing.…

great transformation! chin and collar bones! congrats! well done!

I understand what you are saying...my dh and our grown sons have no desire to eat healthy. I have had success in the past, all while cooking for them and me. I'll be honest, it is not easy. You need to understand that you cannot change anyone to be like you or desire to be healthy, etc. You can only change yourself. For…

I've had quite a few over the years...and all have been from my husband's family. 1 ~ my FIL, "Kelly, I can't believe how big you are with this 2nd baby". I am short, short waisted, and delivered a 10lb 22 inch baby. When he came to the hospital to see us, he cried at how BIG the baby was. He himself was 11 lbs and 4 oz. 2…

East-Central Iowa. Yes, we have "winter" here and snow is part of that...and colder weather. Seems the weather is more extreme the last few years or so. Not just here, but everywhere. Flooding, droughts, etc. It's like anything can be expected anymore. Mother nature has a mind of her own. We have had a good 4 years of lots…

hey there gang. I am glad, very glad to see Miss Jacque back here. I think about all you ladies a lot. Miss ya. I don't know what my problem is, other than I am an emotional eater. probably a binge eater. likely an addiction. I just get so dang tired of this battle. Seems impossible. I have been eating so horribly, so…

Merry Christmas everyone. spent most of the day at my parents..brother and his family and sister and her kids, along with my family. we had a turkey dinner and opened gifts following. hope you're all enjoying the holiday. take care

Hi Barb! guess it's just you and me lately, sure miss the other gals... How's the cpap working for ya? I hope it's getting to be routine for you. Do you feel different since using it? I pray every single day for you to be reunited with your kids again...courage...hope...strength...love...faith...The good Lord is with you…

Glad to hear you are adjusting to the cpap. All the times I have been around my mom (mostly in hotels on trips) it was never a bother. I actually think it help put me to sleep. Very soothing imho. tight clothes here too. refuse to buy anything new. That's the main reason I have never belonged to a gym, $$. and I would have…

After working at the hospital for 6 years, this was the business I went into...house cleaning. Then I added bus driving. My BIL's wife helped for about a year. Then bus driving kinda took over. I really enjoyed it and it was one of those jobs where you were immediately rewarded....leaving a house clean and cash payment! If…
