Weigh In
So today I did pretty good. This is going on day three that I have gotten up and left the bedroom. That is a big challenge for me. See, what most of you don't understand is that the main reason for why I eat is from depression. It is hard to understand. Those of you that don't suffer from depression might find it difficult to grasp. That is OK.
The reason it is hard for me to diet is because I eat for comfort, now I don't have that. Those of you that know me personally, know that I also shop for comfort. That is not the wisest thing to do. I have had all my resources pulled from me, so shopping is out of the question. Now I have cut out the eating. So I felt kind of stuck, with no source of comfort.
So I am turning to the outdoors. It is working out so far. I enjoy it. I am also working out. That is really lifting my spirits. Exercise produces a feeling of well-being. Also, I was reading that eating food that isn't good for you, or junk food can cause depression. I am hoping that changing my eating habits will also lift some of the depression. I was able to do two workout videos today. It felt great just to get moving. I am trying to stay real positive about the whole diet issue. I think it will help me in so many ways. I want to thank everyone that is supporting it, I needed this right now.

Exercising will definitely change your outlook, and begin to lift depression. Endorphins will take over and you'll become a happy person!
Great work on this life-change, and keep it up.
I understand depression. I've had it since I was 10 and I'm 35 now.
Have you thought about taking something to help? If you're not ready for a prescription med, there's over the counter things that can help. For example, 900mg of St. John's Wort a day helps a lot of people.
Thanks, I am working on the depression issue. I have dealt with it a long time and I have good days and bad days. I just hope to have more good than bad! :)
