Hello Everyone. I have been on a depressive jag for a long time. When this happens, my food intake increases and I do not lose weight. Last night, before I went to bed, I made a big note in black marker,
Today Is The First Day of Your Diet! Live!
Trite I know, but it is. It is also the first day of the rest of your life. Whatever my life will be, I certainly did not want it a depressive state.
I continued to eat healthy food, that is [just my nature and what I like. But I was eating too much due to the blues. It started with a severe hive outbreak in August and I have been treading water and then, sank further.
Well, I went through the ritual, I am starting tomorrow, but I failed over and over. I fell out of the habit of using my Fitbit. It happened innocently, I had hives on my wrist and could not wear it.
Set backs mean nothing. It is okay to take time off, you do not need to, but it can happen. And I just wanted out and back into the weight loss routine. I am so much happier when I am.
I was very depressed. Well, I woke up, saw that sign and started to live again. I feel better already. I have recorded all of my food and am wearing the FitBit. I forget to put on the FitBit when I woke up, remembered a few minutes ago. The old me voice in my head told me to just start it tomorrow. But I stopped myself and said, no. It is fine to start at 12 noon.
Depression is a hard place to live. I am going to make my feet move today and the rest will follow! Best Wishes to All of you.
This is my all time favorite quote:
“Our past is a story
existing only in our minds.
Look, analyze, understand, and forgive.
Then, as quickly as possible, chuck it.”
Marianne Williamson

Depression sucks. I wouldn't wish it on anyone. As to the diet false starts, everyone goes through that. Don't let that be part of the depression. I'm trying to get back on track myself. It's just part of watching what you eat.

I agree with others that doing the best you can each day is all you can ask of yourself! Just take one meal and one moment at a time - sounds trite but can really help.

So glad you are back. It is so hard to look after yourself when you are down. Good for you for forgiving yourself and looking forward.

thank you all of you. I need to come out completely, as of today, I am starting the tip the windmill my way. But it is a process. It is very encouraging to me to say something and actually have people answer! It means a great deal. Thank you.

I really have trouble stating I’m down
as that is when it seems some come in to scream at ya GET A GRIP ,,,,,,,,,,,
and that doesn't help at all
so I tend to hide which really doesn't help ,,,
and I have been saying Lord what is bothering me so I know what to even ask God for help with
any ways ,,,,,,,
I hate feeling depressed and my food intake always climes when I am
enough said so glad your feeling better ,,, I think one part is for me I have been sick a lot
Cancer / knee replacement
Tired of being sick and not strong and independent <3 ..........even though its been since 11-2-12 I have been in remission
I walked my self back to being strong
then my knee went out on me when I was walking in the mall 9-12013
Knee Dr said stop all walking
Had to wait till June 4t th to have my knee replaced as Im a school bus driver .
When I hurt it in the mall I was dragging my left leg any weight on it caused sever pain.
After knee replacement even moreeeeeeee pain
more pain then before ,,so since 9-2013 pain pain pain then knee replacement June 4th sever painnnnnn

MrsRatfire, I remember there was a FitBit recall for some models that gave people a rash. Look into it.
