Sorry for not updating
Hey... It's been a while since I posted... I just haven't been feeling well. I see my primary doctor on Thursday and my therapist on Friday. I haven't been on the computer much besides checking emails. I just feel like isolating, and not doing my journal is part of that. I'm not sure what's going on... I just got my Prozac upped a couple weeks ago so you would think that would help with the depression. At least I'm getting therapy this week. Things with Geo and I have been fine... we agreed to only eat out once a week because when he saw the doctor he had gained 10 pounds! Too much eating out and not enough veggies. I've been gaining weight like it's going out of style. I've gained 5 pounds in 2 weeks. I really need to do something to get back to the way I was. I think I need to go to aerobics tomorrow... get some sort of activity in. We also need to go to the store since we are out of essentials. Geo wants to make ice cream in his ice cream maker but he doesn't know what flavor to choose. He has only made berry ice cream because that's what was in the directions book. We will see how it goes!

I hope you feel better soon. I\'m right there with you as far as gaining weight goes. I\'ve got another half week of holidays before we get back home and I have to \"start again\" : (
I wish you and Geo much fun playing with the ice cream maker. I found you some lower calorie (than full fat ice cream) recipes you might want to look at.
Have you tried Granita?

Here\'s one for a peach frozen yogurt that looks good. I\'d use the honey or possibly corn syrup for a lighter taste.

Here\'s a low cal chocolate you might want to try.

You are in my pocket. Don\'t worry about not updating. We all need to isolate sometimes. You give us lots of hope and motivation so if you need some \'me time\' it is totally understandable. I hope you can go to aerobics some time and you can enjoy it. When I feel down movement can refresh me. But I need to convince myself first to start it...
So in short: you are in my pocket.
im sorry about your depression not getting better, maybe when you go to your therapist he will have some ideas on what to do. please don\'t worry about journaling, it is ok to not do it, sometimes it is just t much. though I find writing it out does help me. I am always here for you in whatever you need. when my depression comes back I overeat also but you will get back to what you were in your time. many hugsss
I\'m glad you are seeing the therapist this week. maybe, he\'ll know what to do to help your mood improve. Update when you can. take care of yourself.
Sorry to hear that you\'ve gained the weight. Now you are working on losing it again .. You can do it.
I hope the 10lb gain for Geo wasn\'t bad for the surgery .. what happens now that he gained on this visit.
Have fun with the ice cream machine. Great idea to limit the amt of times you go out for meals during the week.. Yes, we all need more veggies :).
Good to hear from you again! Love the plan to limit eating out to 1x a week and hopefully you and Geo will make that 1x a good choice and not an indulgence.
so cool to make icecream, i want to do that. i also hear that sorbet is easy to make but have never tried it. making chocolate in a pot on the stove is also fun, you add peanuts and marshmellows and make rocky road candy.
i gained 10 pounds too, but in two years. stay away from alllll white or boxed food. easier said than done. xxoo
