I've been reading some of your journals. Some of you have lost quite a bit of weight since your spouses have been gone. I've lost a little bit of weight without trying or changing my eating habits or activity level. But I still have a long way to go. It's logical that we want to get healthier for our kids' sakes, since we're the only parent they have left. I went through something (might still be going through it subconsciously, I don't know) and I'm wondering if anyone else here can relate. When thinking about weight loss, a couple times I've caught myself thinking, "Oh, sure. You didn't even try to lose weight when Greg was alive and that would have been great for him/us. Now that he's gone, you want to try to lose weight??" I guess it's kind of a guilt thing, if that makes any sense. I think it may be self-sabotage in the weight-loss department. Can anyone relate?

I've been really depressed lately. It's not super bad but it's bad enough that I'm spending like 10 hrs in bed and I do nothing all day. I did get my lexapro dosage raised from 5 mg to 10 mg so once I start the new dose I will hopefully feel better. Depression is the absolute worst.

I just started going out and buying clothes which is ironic because my wife could never get me out to buy stuff except when we were first married.
I've decided I'm just going to do what i feel is right, I can deal with the extra complexity of guilt. Having said that, I feel guilty at times.
I'm just full of contradictions.
