I am really not doing well. I have gained so much weight that i make myself sick. It hurts to move....literally. i am caught in a vicious cycle because the more depressed i get the less i want to move, which causes further weight gain. I just feel like crying. I am able to keep myself together enough to work, but when im not working, i sleep....alot. i pray to God everyday to come and get me. So far he isn't listening..

when you have a compulsion to eat, eat something low callory. I lost weight by eighting little pizza bits, (45 cal. per bite), 2 at a time...Find out how many cal. you should eat, and then you can be creative and you will lose weight...If you are sitting on a sofa, get up every half hour.

Don't think about dying, it will come when God is ready for you...and he is listening.

At least you have a job...feel good about that. and if you want to cry, then cry, you aren't breaking a law...

watch comedy on tv, that is what keeps me going.

I had this problem too recently. do you have a dr. or a therapist that you can talk to? Or are you on any meds?
My Therapist suggested that I get my medicine reevaluated, I felt a lot better on my new medicine.

Okay, this post is more of a reason for a new Forum to start that is for people trying to lose weight, build muscle, build self esteem, and anything that relates to fitness and nutrition. Does anyone else agree?
