Well, today I started my one millionth diet. I weighed yesterday and I have been depressed ever since. I had lost weight, but every time I get under 200 lbs, my mindset tells me to eat! I feel better when my weight is down, I have less back pain then and it also helps my depression. I am supposed to take Synthroid for an underactive thyroid and goiter, but I don't take it either. I am going to try and start taking my medicine correctly. I am also supposed to take an anti-depressant and a blood pressure pill. I know my meds should help me feel better too. My husband and I are separated after 20 years of marriage. I hate being alone, but he was verbally abusive to me. I have very little family and no support system. I hope this website turns out to be my friend.

hi there , good luck with the diet and think postively (when you can ), im sure that will help .
i am also a rn and can sympathise re the back problems as i myself have re current back problems so much so that i changed career .
you yourself will know the importance of takeing meds when you are supposed too so there no point preaching to you about takeing them just think of the advise you would give to someone else and certainly exercise is excellent for mind and body , all the best and takecare

Try a lifestyle change not a diet. I have finally realized(for me) that I cant diet, I just gain it back, so far this time I am sticking to this life change. I eat less and healthier, and trying to exercise more. Good Luck.

Well, I lived through the first day of my diet. Today, I am going to Curves to see if I can tolerate the machines cause of my back. I didn't sleep, maybe 2 hours, so I am tired and haven't done anything.

Today, I went to Curves to see if I could tolerate their workout with my back problems. They were very helpful and gave me a 3 week trial. I go back tomorrow. I took my medicine today and that itself is reaching a goal. Eager to meet a few special people on here, so we can talk. I am on and off here all day and most of the night as I do not sleep much. Thanks for all the comments and hugs, right back at u.

I finally got a little sleep last night. I went to Curves today. I don't see how that can help. Has anybody tried Curves? Anyhow, I am still living, even though I am in chocolate withdrawal! lol. I will be glad when the first week is over, as I think it is the hardest.

Didn't sleep much again last night. Hope today is a better day. I just don't want to do anything.

Well, I slept a little better. Didn't feel good last night, got really nauseated. Haven't pooped since starting the diet. Can't stand water. I have been eating bran cereal and fruit. Have taken laxatives again today. Last time, they didn't help. Feel kinda down today, Sonja is really sick again and probably should be in the hospital. I wish she could get better, she is so pitiful.

I haven't been feeling too good. I weighed yesterday and since 9/24/07, I have lost 13 pounds. I am scheduled to have a MRI on my knee tomorrow. I had to give up Curves. My back and knee would not tolerate it. Oh well, maybe, I will cheer up soon.

I lost 16 lbs in 3 weeks. So far, so good. Been depressed. Wish I had something to occupy some of my time and something to cheer me up.

Well, I haven't been on here lately. I have been so depressed and the diet is getting old. I love to eat. That is all there is to it. Anyway, I weighed today and I have lost 27 pounds now. I am proud of myself. Stanton has lost about 13 and he is really doing well. All I need now is a man in my life, to make me feel special. I hate being alone and i hate winter and cold weather. I had a really bad day today. I was hot and sweaty all day and short of breath with little exertion. I don't know if my anemia is back, or if my electrolytes are out of whack or what. That's what dieting does for u, throws your body into a state of confusion. I hope I can stay on the diet. I would love to lose 50 more pounds. I know that I won't make that goal, but who knows. If I just had a boyfriend, I would be more encouraged. Maybe God will send me one someday.
